Name: iserv-proxy Version: 8.5 Copyright: XXX License: BSD3 -- XXX License-File: LICENSE Author: XXX Maintainer: XXX Synopsis: iserv allows GHC to delegate Tempalte Haskell computations Description: GHC can be provided with a path to the iserv binary with @-pgmi=/path/to/iserv-bin@, and will in combination with @-fexternal-interpreter@, compile Template Haskell though the @iserv-bin@ delegate. This is very similar to how ghcjs has been compiling Template Haskell, by spawning a separate delegate (so called runner on the javascript vm) and evaluating the splices there. . iserv can also be used in combination with cross compilation. For this, the @iserv-proxy@ needs to be built on the host, targeting the host (as it is running on the host). @cabal install -flibrary -fproxy@ will yield the proxy. . Using the cabal for the target @arch-platform-target-cabal install -flibrary@ will build the required library that contains the ffi @startSlave@ function, which needs to be invoked on the target (e.g. in an iOS application) to start the remote iserv slave. . calling the GHC cross compiler with @-fexternal-interpreter -pgmi=$HOME/.cabal/bin/iserv-proxy -opti\ -opti\@ will cause it to compile Template Haskell via the remote at \. . Thus to get cross compilation with Template Haskell follow the following receipt: . * compile the iserv library for your target . > iserv $ arch-platform-target-cabal install -flibrary . * setup an application for your target that calls the * startSlave function. This could be either haskell or your * targets ffi capable language, if needed. . > void startSlave(false /* verbose */, 5000 /* port */, > "/path/to/storagelocation/on/target"); . * build the iserv-proxy . > iserv $ cabal install -flibrary -fproxy * Start your iserv-slave app on your target running on say @10.0.0.1:5000@ * compiler your sources with -fexternal-interpreter and the proxy . > project $ arch-platform-target-ghc ModuleContainingTH.hs \ > -fexternal-interpreter \ > -pgmi=$HOME/.cabal/bin/iserv-proxy \ > -opti10.0.0.1 -opti5000 . Should something not work as expected, provide @-opti-v@ for verbose logging of the @iserv-proxy@.
