@hackage hoopl3.7.12.1

A library to support dataflow analysis and optimization

This is Hoopl, a higher-order optimization library. There are two unpublished papers describing Hoopl:

Hoopl: Dataflow Optimization Made Simple Hoopl: A Modular, Reusable Library for Dataflow Analysis and Transformation

The second such paper is attached to this package.

The version number is split into four parts:

  1. Third major body plan (phylum)
  2. Seventh iteration (roughly) of data structures
  3. Major version; changes when clients must change
  4. Minor version; changes when clients can stay the same

Version 3.7.3.3 has fixed known bugs.

Version 3.7.8.0 will be the last version uploaded to Hackage for some time. This library is undergoing very rapid development, and we ask that you get the most recent version from our public git repository:

git clone -o tufts git://ghc.cs.tufts.edu/hoopl/hoopl.git

If you are not familiar with git, we recommend the tutorial 'Git Magic' by Ben Lynn. To get some ideas about how to use git effectively,

is also useful.

If you've been given an account at Tufts with write privileges to the git repository, you'll want to use a different URL:

git clone -o tufts linux.cs.tufts.edu:/r/ghc/www/hoopl/hoopl.git
