Re: [Yhc] Compiling Prelude.hs

Hi Krasimir, Great work with the .NET backend! It wouldn't be easy. Knowing whether a function internal to this module is primitive is relatively easy. However knowing whether a function in another module is primitive is harder because the program gets it's information about external functions from the .hi file and the .hi file doesn't store whether a function was primitive or not. It would be possible to add it, but messing about with the hi files isn't fun (trust me ;-)). Hope that helps Tom Krasimir Angelov wrote:

Cool! Now I am able to compile the entire base package to IL code but there is still one problem. The byte code backend is using a special instruction for all primitives. I would like to try an another approach that will allow to call the primitives directly. For this purpose I need to now whether a given Id is an Id of a primitive. Is it currently possible? It is enough if there was any flag in the Info datatype. Any suggestions?

code. Is it possible to remove the duplicated instances as well?

Yep, I removed them already - they were certainly a bug. It should be in the repo already.

The compiler detects duplicate class declarations (good), but supresses rename errors with the -redefine flag (bad, fixed now), and doesn't detect duplicate instance declarations (bad, unfixed).

Thanks

Neil
