GHC Description

Free and open source compiler for the functional language Haskell GHC is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and interactive environment for the functional language Haskell.NOTE: GHC is licensed and released under the The Glasgow Haskell Compiler License. Here are some key features of "GHC": · GHC supports the entire Haskell 98 language plus a wide variety of extensions. · GHC generates fast code, particularly for concurrent programs. Why not take a look at GHC's performance on The Computer Language Shootout Bechmarks, and some comments on Haskell by the current organiser of the shootout, Brent Fulgham. · GHC works on several platforms including Mac OS X, 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. Requirements: · Apple's Xcode (for compiling the distribution)
