Perhaps you've already looked, but if not, one possible source is the Happy grammar that GHC uses, in ghc/compiler/parser.y, or even the Hugs Yacc grammar, in src/parser.y Its probably not exactly what you want though... If you either find something or implement it yourself please let me know. Cheers, Bernie. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
[Haskell-cafe] Syntactic extensions
Hello, I am using the haskell-src bundle to implement a preprocessor for some syntactic extensions to haskell. This is all fine and well, but I find myself also wanting the preprocessor to let through some already existing extensions, namely: * implicit parameters * pattern guards * multi-parameter type classes with functional dependencies * possibly template haskell The haskell-src bundle already has support for mptcs (without fundeps), and pattern guards are rather straight-forward, but for the rest; Where can I find formal specifications of these extensions in terms of added/changed syntax? Or even better, is there anyone out there who has already extended the haskell-src bundle with support for any of them? regards, Niklas Broberg (d00nibro[at]dtek.chalmers.se) _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

[Haskell-cafe] Haskell overview
A colleague with a mathematics and Lisp background is wanting to learn more about Haskell. The books he's looked at concentrate more on building up from the basics and getting the syntax right, etc., whereas really he's looking more of a top-down view that makes Haskell's features and behavior clear and relates them to category theory, etc. Would anyone be able to suggest some good references? -- Mark ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
