Hi Ryan,
I am trying to avoid "ifdef's" and have all
decisions made at run-time (maybe given the nature of Haskell .. i..e
static/compile-time type checking this is impossible) ...
I don't see how in any language you could introduce working
run-time-determined os-specific code. How would you link with the windows
libraries under linux, and vice versa? And moreover, why would you do so?
Unless you're talking about running under an interpreter, I don't see how
you'd construct a binary that would be able to run under both windows and
linux.
A FFI supporting dynamic linking, plus a lot of hope? The binary
wouldn't run under both OS's, but the program could pick which library
to link against at runtime.
