Ext-core is not a library; spitting it out and sucking it in is an integral part of GHC. That said, I think there may be a library for processing the ext-core code itself (parsing, typechecking etc). I don't think Aaron is working on that. Also, what you need for your PhD is the spitting-out p

Well, the work I'm doing on it right now includes modifying it to work with System FC, which means it won't work with 6.6. Aaron On Apr 17, 2007, at 10:54 AM, Neil Mitchell wrote: Hi > >Release plans: > >- get external core working again > > Can't this happen entirely separate from any GHC

It is still coming along! :) I'm frustrated with how slowly I've been progressing with it (even though I do have good reasons), but I'm not stopping, and I believe it will be ready for 6.8. Knowing that you're waiting for it definitely gives me some motivation to push harder on it. I'm gl

Hi Release plans: - get external core working again Can't this happen entirely separate from any GHC releases? From what I've heard people were thinking of wrapping this up in the next few months. I personally need this to make my PhD work on more than just Yhc :-) Thanks Neil __
