From this page you can download the Generic Haskell compiler.

Given a file with definitions of type-indexed functions, kind-indexed kinds, or type-indexed data types, the Generic Haskell compiler generates Haskell code for the instances of these functions on the data types that occur in the input file.

NEW: Emerald release with Generic Views for Generic Types, April, 2008

The Emerald release extends generic views to generic types (type-indexed types). Generic type definitions are no longer limited to the standard sum of products view. For an example look at the generic zipper implementation included in the distribution.

• Generic Haskell documentation: pdf

  • gh-1.80 for Linux and ghc-6.8.2 (with the option to recompile the library for other ghc versions)
  • gh-1.80 for MacOSX Intel (tested on Tiger and Leopard) and ghc-6.8.2 (with the option to recompile the library for other ghc versions)

Diamond release, April, 2007

The Diamond release supports the use of generic views in the definition of generic functions.

  • gh-1.62 for Windows and ghc-6.6 (not yet available)
  • gh-1.62 for Linux and ghc-6.6 (with the option to recompile the library for other ghc versions)
  • gh-1.62 for MacOSX and ghc-6.6 (with the option to recompile the library for other ghc versions)

Coral release, Jan 14, 2005

The Coral release supports Dependency-style syntax for generic functions and type signatures.

• Generic Haskell documentation: pdf, ps.
• The Generic Haskell compiler. Download one of the binaries below, or the gh-1.42 source. If there is no binary for your platform, or the binary doesn't work, try to build from source.
  • gh-1.42 for Windows and ghc-6.2.2
  • gh-1.42 for Linux and ghc-6.2.2 (with the option to recompile the library for other ghc versions)
  • gh-1.42 for MacOSX and ghc-6.2.2 (with the option to recompile the library for other ghc versions)

Note that this version doesn't build with GHC 6.4.x. To build with GHC 6.4.x you have to obtain the source from svn.

Special thanks to Daan Leijen for testing the Windows installer.
