Comment:
The problem here is simply that a foreign import with a "&" should not
have an arrow in its type. See the
[http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ffi/ffi/ffise4.html#x7-150004
FFI spec].
GHC should not crash though. Now it says
{{{
T7506.hs:6:1:
Unacceptable type in foreign declaration: Int -> IO ()
A foreign-imported address (via &foo) must have type (Ptr a) or
(FunPtr a)
When checking declaration:
foreign import ccall safe "static stdio.h &putchar" c_putchar
:: Int -> IO ()
}}}
