# The lang/ghc port

## ghc-7.10.3p4 – compiler for the functional language Haskell

## Description

    The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and
    interactive environment for the functional language Haskell. Highlights:

       * GHC supports the entire Haskell 98 language plus a wide variety of
         extensions.
       * GHC works on several platforms including Windows and a few varieties of
         Unix, and a few different processor architectures. There are detailed
         instructions for porting GHC to a new platform. Which doesn't work.
       * GHC has extensive optimisation capabilities, including inter-module
         optimisation.
       * GHC compiles Haskell code either by using an intermediate C compiler
         (GCC), or by generating native code on most currently supported
         platforms. The interactive environment compiles Haskell to
         bytecode, and supports execution of mixed bytecode/compiled
         programs.
       * Profiling is supported, both by time/allocation and various kinds of
         heap profiling.
       * GHC comes with a minimal range of libraries, but a wide range of
         additional libraries are available as separate packages, including
         the full set of the Haskell Platform.
