Good to know about. I did part of this, as well --- printing External
Core in 6.7 resulted in a panic, since coercions weren't translated,
and I fixed that. The patch mentioned below goes beyond mine, though,
by adding support for foreign labels. Fortunately, what I did was
only a few lines, and not much work. I was waiting to finish work on
the parser before I sent in a patch.
I didn't write more than a few lines myself. Note that *all* I did was
the dynamic calls and labels, add a calling convention field to the
static calls, plus fixing up those two string constants that were used
for printing arrows.
Also, Sam, if you're also interested in getting the parser working,
we should coordinate so that we don't duplicate work.
I wasn't planning on it; I only did the above because I wanted to be
able to compare optimization results for standard library modules
between slightly different compilers.
Unfortunately I have no idea where to look for the *time*... I wish
non-exported ("static") names were qualified with the module name in
the object files, just like exported names are... (would make it
easier to compare output between cachegrind runs, IMO)
I worry slightly about bloating the symbol table and increasing link times, but
perhaps I shouldn't. You can make this change pretty easily - see the
Outputable instance for Name in the Name module.
Cheers,
Simon
