Compilers use the same calling sequence whether you tell them about const or not. I believe that we can call all C functions correctly knowing only the calling convention (ccall, stdcall, etc) and the Haskell type. I certainly hope this is true since Hugs' implementation of wrappers depends on it. (Hmmm, some calling conventions do funny things when passing and returning small structs. I don't know much about this though...) >> This is roughly how the Hugs FFI header file will look once my >> current hacking on it is finished. > Looks good. As of course it should since I stole vast swathes from GHC's HsFFI.h :-) -- Alastair _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
