Wouldn't it be better if this were simply considered a bug in GHC? Doing -fvia-c really shouldn't affect program behaviour IMO, I don't see why the compiler can't create its own private prototype when compiling to its own private C, that guaranteed to behave the same way compiling directly to object code would. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA _______________________________________________ FFI mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ffi
