Hello,

     I don't want to write kludgy Haskell code!

typedef struct blah
{
       int val1;

       union {

           int  val2;

           struct {

                 int val3;

                 int val4;
           }
       }
}    C_type;

question: in Haskell, can I embed definition of the "union" inside of the C typedef, i.e. recursion definition? Or must I have a separate definition for the "union" which I "instantiate" inside the Haskell "typedef", i.e. Haskell "data"?

Assuming all of these are semantic, you can say

newtype HS_type = HS_type (Int, Either Int (Int, Int))

But you lose named fields.

It's hard to give other advice without some idea of /why/ you want to do something like this.
