-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2020-c24419cb8d 2020-08-14 00:24:43.212059 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ghc Product : Fedora EPEL 8 Version : 8.2.2 Release : 68.3.el8 URL : https://haskell.org/ghc/ Summary : Glasgow Haskell Compiler Description : GHC is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and interactive environment for the functional language Haskell. Highlights:
- GHC supports the entire Haskell 2010 language plus a wide variety of extensions. - GHC has particularly good support for concurrency and parallelism, including support for Software Transactional Memory (STM). - GHC generates fast code, particularly for concurrent programs. Take a look at GHC's performance on The Computer Language Benchmarks Game. - GHC works on several platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux, most varieties of Unix, and several different processor architectures. - GHC has extensive optimisation capabilities, including inter-module optimisation. - GHC compiles Haskell code either directly to native code or using LLVM as a back-end. GHC can also generate C code as an intermediate target for porting to new 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 several libraries, and thousands more are available on Hackage.
