I propose to deprecate `freeHaskellFunctionPtr' in Foreign.
Equivalent functionality is now available from
`Ptr.freeHaskellFunPtr'. Normally, we have all `Ptr'
functionality also in a variant for `Addr', but in this
case, this doesn't make sense in my opinion. The reason is
that `Addr' is there as a backup solution when `Ptr' doesn't
fit. But if a `Addr' is used to represent a Haskell
function pointer, I don't see a reason that `Ptr.FunPtr'
could not have been taken.
If there are no objections, I will deprecate
`freeHaskellFunctionPtr' in `Foreign'.
Cheers,
Manuel
PS: It could be argued that `Ptr ()' can always be used
instead of `Addr' and that therefore we should do away
with `Addr' altogether. Opinions?
