In an exchange of ideas with a friend, this question arose:

[[
I've been looking at GHC, and it looks like it has generates machine code
directly rather than via C--. I know that Simon Peyton Jones (famous in the
Haskell world) is one of the authors of C--, but I can find no direct
connection between this and GHC or Haskell. Have you any idea where I might
find this connection?
]]

In my discussion with him, I had assumed that GHC generates code via C-- and a version of the GCC compiler (why else is GCC part of the GHC installation?). Can anyone shed any light or pointers?

Thanks.
