Hi Frederic,

I tried writing my thoughts on your question in this gist here: https://gist.github.com/darcykimball/74dd7973b2dbad22b7091135a3b9d472. There's probably much more to it than what I wrote, but I'm figuring that stuff out the more I think about it. I'll try to add more when I'm convinced I get it.

Best,

Kevin

Hello, I am writing some code whcih use FFI.

one of my C functions has an array of pointer has imput

extern HklBinocularsCube *hkl_binoculars_cube_new(int32_t n_spaces,
                                                                           const HklBinocularsSpace **spaces);


from Haskell, I have a list of ForeignPtr
so my question how can I have something like withForeignPtr for an array of ForeignPtr

[ForeignPtr a] -> ([Ptr a] -> IO b) -> IO b

Thanks for your help.

Frederic
