ghc-9.10.3
compiler for the functional language Haskell
Back to search · Project homepage
Description
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 a few varieties of
Unix, and a few different processor architectures. There are detailed
instructions for porting GHC to a new platform. Which doesn't work.
* 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 most currently supported
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 minimal range of libraries, but a wide range of
additional libraries are available as separate packages, including
the full set of the Haskell Platform.
