ghc: The GHC API

This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.

Warnings:

[missing-upper-bounds] On library, these packages miss upper bounds: - semaphore-compat - stm Please add them. There is more information at https://pvp.haskell.org/
[missing-upper-bounds] On custom-setup, these packages miss upper bounds: - directory - process - filepath - containers Please add them. There is more information at https://pvp.haskell.org/

GHC's functionality can be useful for more things than just compiling Haskell programs. Important use cases are programs that analyse (and perhaps transform) Haskell code. Others include loading Haskell code dynamically in a GHCi-like manner. For this reason, a lot of GHC's functionality is made available through this package.

See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/compiler for more information.

This package is not PVP-compliant.

This package directly exposes GHC internals, which can and do change with every release.
