Assignment description
The goal of this assignment is to implement code generation for the EH compiler to GHC Core language. One problem we encountered is the lack of information available in the EHC Core language. To generate Ghc Core code we need the types of bindings and use explicit type arguments. The translation of the full blown EH language to the core must be changed to include the Type information of variable bindings in let, case and lambda expressions and in function applications. To help the process of this change, we created a EHToCode page.Planning
