The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a state-of-the-art, open source, compiler and interactive environment for the functional language Haskell.
Documentation
The documentation below relates to using GHC. For documentation about the internals of GHC, head over to the GHC Developer Wiki.
These documents relate to the latest released version of GHC. For earlier released versions click the relevant version on the downloads page. For the the current HEAD snapshot look at the bottom of the downloads page.
- The User's Guide
- The User's Guide has all you need to know about using GHC: command line options, language extensions, GHCi, etc.
- Download: | HTML.tar.gz | PDF | A4 Postscript (gzipped) |
- Standard Libraries
- Documentation for the libraries that come with GHC.
- Download: | HTML.tar.gz |
- Cabal
- An infrastructure for building and distributing Haskell software.
- Download: | HTML.tar.gz | PDF | A4 Postscript (gzipped) |
- GHC Building Guide
- Information on how to build GHC from sources, access the CVS repository, and port GHC to a new platform.

Collaborative documentation
GHC is a big system. We try to document the core functionality (above), but you can help by writing documentation yourself. This section collects documentation written in a collaborative way, by users and developers together. Please help by adding new sections, and by clarifying and improving existing ones.
- Using GHC
- How to write a Haskell program
- GHC FAQ
- Using GHCi
- The GHCi debugger
- Using Cabal (including with DLLs)
- The Haskell Performance Resource, for advice on improving the performance of your code
- Running GHC under Wine
- GHC extensions
- Type system extensions in GHC
- Using GHC as a library
- Concurrent programming in GHC
- Template Haskell is a (GHC) extension to Haskell that adds compile-time metaprogramming facilities.
- Dynamically loaded Haskell modules: Don Stewart's hs-plugins library
- Using the Foreign Function Interface
- GUI programming in GHC
- Using RULES in GHC
- Data Parallel Haskell: using nested data parallelism in GHC
Development of GHC
