Hi,
I'm trying to writing a simple C binding for statfs(2). Simplifying,
writing an hsc file that contains the following snippet:
#include
data CStatfs
foreign import ccall unsafe "sys/vfs.h statfs"
c_statfs :: CString -> Ptr CStatfs -> IO CInt
getFileSystemStats :: String -> IO CLong
getFileSystemStats path =
allocaBytes (#size struct statfs) $ \vfs ->
useAsCString (pack path) $ \cpath -> do
res <- c_statfs cpath vfs
case res of
-1 -> return 0
_ -> do
bsize <- (#peek struct statfs, f_bsize) vfs
bcount <- (#peek struct statfs, f_blocks) vfs
bfree <- (#peek struct statfs, f_bfree) vfs
bavail <- (#peek struct statfs, f_bavail) vfs
-- Just for demonstration: the original code creates a data structure
return $ bsize + bcount + bavail + bfree
gives rise, when using hsc2hs, to this translation:
getFileSystemStats path =
allocaBytes ((84)) $ \vfs ->
useAsCString (pack path) $ \cpath -> do
res <- c_statfs cpath vfs
case res of
-1 -> return 0
_ -> do
bsize <- ((\hsc_ptr -> peekByteOff hsc_ptr 4)) vfs
bcount <- ((\hsc_ptr -> peekByteOff hsc_ptr 8)) vfs
bfree <- ((\hsc_ptr -> peekByteOff hsc_ptr 16)) vfs
bavail <- ((\hsc_ptr -> peekByteOff hsc_ptr 24)) vfs
return $ bsize + bcount + bavail + bfree
(where i have deleted LINE directives). The problem is that the size and
some of the offsets of the C struct statfs computed by hsc2c are wrong:
i'm in a 32bit linux system, and i've checked, using a C program, that
sizeof(struct statfs) is 64 (hsc2 is giving 84 -- although perhaps
Haskell needs additional space for housekeeping?), and that the offsets
of f_bfree and f_bavail are, respectively, 12 and 16 (not 16 and 24).
Also, i know that 12 and 16 are the right values because putting them by
hand gives me the correct statfs values.
(This is ghc 6.10.4 on a debian/sid system)
What am i doing wrong?
TIA!
jao
