Big thanks, that works for me as well. Doesn't GHC check whether a
type is allowed (like CInt,...) or not (like Bool,...)?

No, it doesn't, since version 6.10.1:

As it happens, FFI requires translating Haskell Bool from C int (unlikely to be 1 byte), while GCC translates C++ bool to 1 byte. At a suitable moon phase and planet alignment (or data alignment), mixing up an int with a byte will be funny.
