Actually, I was looking into it a little, and template haskell could effectively be implemented by a pre-processor and a portable library that is compiler independent. If one could get ghc to spit out the template haskell source after it expands it then that can be fed to jhc as a quick first

The target compiler would have the TH libraries, which could be made to be portable. The external program would just extract the TH bits and turn them into a program that spits the TH expanded output to a new file to compile, and repeat the process til no TH expansions exist and finally that is

I'm not sure I correctly understand your approach, but to have the template haskell reification work without any runtime communication with the compiler you'd have to include the entire typechecker state, at least for all names reachable from the splice (see

Zeroth takes the first approach. It only supports a subset of TH (DecsQ splices) however. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/zeroth https://github.com/aavogt/zeroth is a fork that works with more recent haskell-src-exts and ghc On Sat, Jul 5, 2014 at 3:59 PM, John Meacham j...@repetae.net

Yes! This would definitely be of great interest to users of the Android cross compilers. It should be quite feasible to drive a TH runner process on a development device or emulator. Having genuine TH support would be a huge improvement to the usefulness of GHC in a cross compiling scenario. I

I think GHC could use more or less the same communication method as GHCJS now does: Start some user-specifiied process and send messages through pipes (GHCJS uses stdin/stderr of the node process), with the difference that it would get dynamic libraries for the target rather than blobs of JS code.

hi all, I've added some code [1] [2] to GHCJS to make it run Template Haskell code on node.js, rather than using the GHC linker. GHCJS has supported TH for a long time now, but so far always relied on native (host) code for it. This is the main reason that GHCJS always builds native and
