This is quite useful! Thanks for writing it down. A few points:

It might be nice if it defined HPT and EPS a bit more concretely (at
least expand the acronyms, ideally including a bit of text defining
their roles in the compiler and why there is two of them).

You say "we produce TyCons and another type checking entities for them".
Should this read "other type checking entities for them"?

Otherwise it looks good to me.

Cheers,

New wiki page about tying the knot in GHC

2016-05-16 Thread Edward Z. Yang
Hello all,

I've written a new wiki page about how knot tying works in
GHC:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/TyingTheKnot

Please let me know if anything is unclear and I'll try to
revise it for more clarity.

Edward
