Disassembly The Harpy package also contains a disassembler, so let's put it to work.
disasm :: e -> s -> CodeGen e s a -> IO String
disasm e s cg = do
    let cg' = do cg; getCodeBufferList
    (_, r) <- runCodeGen cg' e s
    case r of
        Left msg -> error (show msg)
        Right bs -> fmap concat $ mapM disAsm bs
  where disAsm (ptr, n) = do
            r <- disassembleBlock ptr n
            case r of
                Left msg -> error $ show msg
                Right insns -> return $ unlines $ map showIntel insns
Using the same example as in the last post we get.
main = do
    let fun x = (x+1) * x `quot` 2
    str <- disasmIO fun
    putStr str
And here is the sad truth:

I said it would make any compiler writer weep. :)

No worries, I'll make it better.
