How does HsStablePtr differ from HsDouble in this respect? (except that the C side can do even less with HsStablePtr.) You know it somehow corresponds to a pointer on the Haskell side, but that doesn't seem relevant. _______________________________________________ FFI mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ffi
