[Haskell-cafe] Relating generated asm to Core

[Ben Lippmeier]

Hi Rami, 
You'll want to first look at the Cmm (C minus minus) code, which is the imperative intermediate language that GHC uses before conversion to assembly.

Do something like "ghc -c Whatever.hs -ddump-cmm". The names of the blocks of cmm code should match the ones in core. If not, then you might want to also look at the output of -ddump-stg.

Keep in mind that the assembly output by GHC will not look like that output by, say, GCC, because of the lazy evaluation method. You'll want to try and ignore the vast swathes thunking code and just focus on the inner loops of your particular algorithm.

Ben.
