Hi, GreenCard is still widely used, but doesn't offer any support for what you're wanting to do.
Is the auto-generation of proxy code around the Haskell functions you want to export worth your while to get started with HDirect? Don't know, you may want to try doing it manually for a couple of the functions (perhaps by looking at the Haskell code that HDirect generates for the server/ example) & then decide. hth --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Conway Wirt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 07:46 Subject: FFI > > I'm looking for opinions as to the best way to do a C (or C++) > foreign interface to GHC haskell code. > > It looks like there are three options.
