I suppose that does work :).  Thanks!

Are there any examples out there for reading in Core files using the ghc package? I can't really find anything that's up to date...

 -h

The flag -fext-core is a red herring. GHC assumes any module with no
"module" declaration is actually called Main and hence insists on a
main declaration.

""""
mbolingbr...@perihelion ~/tmp
$ ghc -c Hal.hs

Hal.hs:1:0: The function `main' is not defined in module `Main'
"""

Compile this instead:

"""
module Hal where
addOne x = x + 1
"""

Cheers,

If I have a file 'Foo.hs' that contains one line 'addOne x = x + 1', I want
to run something like:

 ghc -c -fext-core Foo.hs

to get the core version of this file.

Unfortunately, when I do that, it complains that Main doesn't have a
function main.  And it doesn't produce the .hcr file.

I tried adding -no-hs-main but that doesn't help.

I can add 'main = undefined' to Foo.hs, but then the core file doesn't
contain the declaration of addOne because it's not used.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
