Uh, oh... :-( This is roughly as "safe" as assuming that short, int, long, and long long are of the same size, so this is highly discouraged. The rationale behind the FFI addendum is as follows: * If you want to use a given C API, use the types from Foreign.C.Types on the Haskell side in the foreign imports. * If the C API is under your control, you have basically two options: Either use Foreign.C.Types as above, or use the types/preprocessor #defines in the HsFFI.h header to bind to basic Haskell types. Which option is better suited depends on what you are trying to achieve. This should be easy enough to use and everything else is not guaranteed to work...
