The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and
|
|
interactive environment for the functional language Haskell. Highlights:
|
|
|
|
* GHC supports the entire Haskell 98 language plus a wide variety of
|
|
extensions.
|
|
* GHC works on several platforms including Windows and most varieties of
|
|
Unix, and several different processor architectures. There are detailed
|
|
instructions for porting GHC to a new platform.
|
|
* GHC has extensive optimisation capabilities, including inter-module
|
|
optimisation.
|
|
* GHC compiles Haskell code either by using an intermediate C compiler
|
|
(GCC), or by generating native code on some platforms. The interactive
|
|
environment compiles Haskell to bytecode, and supports execution of
|
|
mixed bytecode/compiled programs.
|
|
* Profiling is supported, both by time/allocation and various kinds of
|
|
heap profiling.
|
|
* GHC comes with a wide range of libraries.
