v18 v19 30 30 31 31 * At this point, the data flow forks. First, the tidied program is dumped into an interface file. This part happens in two stages: 32 * It is '''converted to {{{IfaceSyn}}}''' (defined in [ [GhcFile(compiler/iface/IfaceSyn.lhs]] and [[GhcFile(compiler/iface/IfaceType.lhs]]).32 * It is '''converted to {{{IfaceSyn}}}''' (defined in [GhcFile(compiler/iface/IfaceSyn.lhs] and [GhcFile(compiler/iface/IfaceType.lhs]). 33 33 * The {{{IfaceSyn}}} is '''serialised into a binary output file''' ([[GhcFile(iface/BinIface.lhs)]]). 34 34 The serialisation does (pretty much) nothing except serialise. All the intelligence is in the Core-to-IfaceSyn conversion; or, rather, in the reverse of that step.
