GHC.Plugins

Description

This module is not used by GHC itself. Rather, it exports all of the functions and types you are likely to need when writing a plugin for GHC. So authors of plugins can probably get away simply with saying import GHC.GHC.Plugins.

Particularly interesting modules for plugin writers include GHC.Core and GHC.Core.Optimize.Monad.

NB: Supplants GhcPlugins.
