SUMMARY:Dynamic loaded compiler plugins for the Glasgow Haskell Compiler -

DESCRIPTION:Much exciting research work takes place in the area of compili
 ng Haskell: two recent examples are Neil Mitchell's Supero compiler and Da
 na Xu's Extended Static Checking. However\, this work is not always availa
 ble for users of those languages to use due to the difficulty of distribut
 ing it: users must be able to download and build a customized version of a
  modern Haskell compiler like the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. The motivation
  for dynamically loaded compiler plugins is to ease\, not only the distrib
 ution\, but also the development process for novel compiler extensions suc
 h as these.\n\nThis talk does not claim to present novel research results\
 , but is rather a light introduction to the construction of a plugin compi
 ler pass from the perspective of a user of that compiler.\n
