Hi Brian,
Sorry for the delayed response.
My goal is to write a program GhcRemake that works like "ghc --make."
However, instead of terminating after compilation is done, I want the
program to stay open and wait for me to hit <ENTER>. When I hit
<ENTER>, GhcRemake rebuilds the project, just as if I had called "ghc
--make" again with the same arguments. The benefit of such a program
is that GhcRemake should be able to cache a lot of data in memory
between invocations and hopefully be able to do the subsequent
re-makes much faster.
Nice idea!
BTW, when I get around to addressing #276
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/276
then you'll be able to compile to object code inside GHCi, so to do you what you
want above you would just fire up GHCi and type :r to recompile each time. GHCi
will cache the interface files between recompilations.
Cheers,
Simon
