I suspect I've found a situation where, to a first approximation, I'd like
SpecConstr to run more than once.
I'm specializing on GADT constructors that contain coercions, so the
constructor-specialized functions have RHSs with refined types. In my
situation, those refined types enable simplificati
Right now there isn't really an overlap with LLVM passes. In general
the feeling of many of the GHC developers is that we don't want to
spend time duplicating what LLVM already does. That said, GHC is an
open source project so someone may be inclined to do so and there
isn't a lot of reason not to

In my opinion we should only implement optimizations in Hoopl that
LLVM cannot do due to lack high-level information that we might have
gotten rid of before we reac
Hello Greg,
Hoopl passes live in compiler/cmm; searching for DataflowLattice will
turn up lattice definitions which are the core of the analyses and rewrites.
Unfortunately, the number of true Hoopl optimizations was somewhat reduced
when Simon Marlow did aggressive performance optimizations to ge
I don't know my way around the GHC source tree. How can I get the list of
optimizations implemented with Hoopl? Is there overlap with LLVM's
optimization passes? If so, has anyone compared the implementations at
all? Should one group be stealing ideas from the other? Or apples and
oranges?

I tried to build the source tarball on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I used GHC 7.6.1,
which I also built myself (without any problem) and installed in
