Hmmm, not so sure anymore... I only had a quick look at the source tar file for nhc98-1.16, and Control.Exception is there. But in the binary distribution it's not. So I guess I have to use some #ifdefs in my code for nhc98. >:-(
This whole situation is a bit ugly: HOpenGL itself does *not* use
non-portable stuff like asynchronous exceptions, but wants to be
correct in case they are supported ('finally' and friends). I'm not
sure what the best solution is. Should nhc98 "support" this stuff?
Functions like 'finally', 'block', 'bracket', etc. are essentially
no-ops when there are no asynchronous exceptions.Cheers, S.
