Hi everyone, Here is a short status report of the "Port Haddock to use GHC" Summer of Code project, which is now over.
Part 1), the GHC modifications, are finished and will be included in the GHC head repository as soon we have made sure that they don't cause any significant slowdowns. Part 2), the actual port of Haddock, is able to render the examples/Test.hs file from the original distribution. There are some problems however, most notably a GHC API panic that keep it from rendering docs for many packages. In terms of functionality, the port is at a very experimental stage, and work remains to render the full set of GHC syntax and to support more than just HTML rendering (e.g Hoogle output). To try the code out, grab these repositories: http://darcs.haskell.org/SoC/ghc.haddock http://darcs.haskell.org/SoC/haddock.ghc You have to compile and install ghc.haddock and then use it to compile and install haddock.ghc. If you want to help out, or just have questions, email me or ping me on #haskell. But maybe the best place to discuss would be [EMAIL PROTECTED], where everyone can follow.
