+ The GHC Commentary - Other Sources of Wisdom
+
+
+
+ Other Sources of Wisdom
+
+ Believe it or not, but there are other people besides you who are
+ masochistic enough to study the innards of the beast. Some of the have
+ been kind (or cruel?) enough to share their insights with us. Here is a
+ probably incomplete list:
+
+
+
+ - The STG
+ Survival Sheet has -- according to its header -- been written by
+ `a poor wee soul',1 which
+ probably has been pushed into the torments of madness by the very
+ act of contemplating the inner workings of the STG runtime system.
+ This document discusses GHC's runtime system with a focus on
+ support for parallel processing (aka GUM).
+
+
- Instructions on Adding
+ an Optimisation Pass to the Glasgow Haskell Compiler
+ have been compiled by Olaf Chitil.
+ Unfortunately, this document is already a little aged.
+
+
- Andrew Tolmach has defined
+ an external
+ representation of
+ GHC's Core language and also implemented a GHC pass
+ that emits the intermediate form into
.hcr files. The
+ option -fext-core triggers GHC to emit Core code after
+ optimisation; in addition, -fno-code is often used to
+ stop compilation after Core has been emitted.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ 1Usually reliable sources have it that
+ the poor soul in question is no one less than GUM hardcore hacker Hans-Wolfgang Loidl.
