The FloatOut pass is designed so that it can do lambda lifting for every
lambda. I think if you try
-ffloat-all-lams
that might do it. See CoreMonad.FloatOutSwitches, the floatOutLambdas field

Subject: GHC Core / STG to supercombinators
Hello,
I'd like to use GHC as a haskell frontend in a project.
I wonder what is the easiest way to compile Haskell to supercombinators (top
level functions) using GHC as a library.
Is it possible to use the simplifier to transform the parsed Haskell source to
supercombinators? i.e. to do
* eta expansion
* closure conversion
* lambda lifting
Regarding the eta expansion and lambda lifting it seems (according the comments
in simplifier code) it does not guarantee to make these transformations in
every case.
If GHC could transform the Core representation to supercombinators, which
transformation should I use from CoreToDo?
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/simplCore/CoreMonad.hs#L107-L135<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fghc%2Fghc%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fcompiler%2FsimplCore%2FCoreMonad.hs%23L107-L135&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C5add309622e243466e8d08d59e70eff6%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636589130288505102&sdata=wzyODQuUBR9gkU0N39YRJLrmZhlXz4CLpNPyNHIFNDM%3D&reserved=0>
I'd like to use GHC as a frontend for my custom code generator which can handle
(lazy) top level functions only.
Is it better to use GHC as a library or is it better to write a compiler plugin
to capture the core representation.
I do not want to optimize the Core at all neither want to use other parts of
GHC's backend (i.e. codegen).
Ideally GHC would typecheck and transform everything to top level function and
my system would do the rest.
Do you know what would be the easiest way to do this? (i.e. via CoreToDo or
custom calls for the simplifying functions)
Or would it be simpler to generate top level (lazy) functions from STG?

Csaba Hruska
