Matching defined types (lookupDftMarshIn "CH" [DefinedET gcry_cipher_hd_t h; "CH"])
by Einar Karttunen 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hello I have a library that defines handles which are pointers as something like typedef void* ch_t; Wrapping with C2HS I can do: {#pointer ch_t as CH #} But when I try to use it like: {#fun ch_close {`CH'} -> `()' #} C2HS complains: >>> Missing "in" marshaller! There is no default marshaller for this combination of Haskell and C type: Haskell type: CH C type : (CH) When looking at the internals it comes to a call like: lookupDftMarshIn "CH" [DefinedET ch_t h; "CH"] Why don't they match and what should be changed to make things work? - Einar Karttunen

A new kind of output marshallers *- (patch attached)
by Einar Karttunen 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hello When wrapping libraries that return error codes from functions a monadic output marshaller that does not return a value is very useful. This implements *- output marshallers that take the value and consume it, but don't return a result. This is used like: foo_error_t foo_something(random, arguments); type Err = {#type foo_error_t#} {#fun {`Foo', `Bar'} -> `()' handleError*- #} handleError :: Err -> IO () handleError ... - Einar Karttunen

Hello This switches to the new Set API. GHC 6.2 only supports the old one, 6.4 both and 6.6 only the new one. - Einar Karttunen

Re: [C2hs] Marshal Haskell list into monolithic arrays

Hi Udo and Duncan, Yes, I made a mistake in C syntax. Now, I call the function in Haskell like this: ------------------------- lowPassFilter :: [CFloat] -> CFloat lowPassFilter fs = (unsafePerformIO (lowPassFilterWrap fs)) where lowPassFilterWrap :: [CFloat] -> IO CFloat lowPassFilterWrap fs = do mfs <- newArray fs fsP2 <- malloc r <- f_lowPassFilter mfs fsP2 returnF <- peek fsP2 return returnF foreign import ccall "static fmr.h lowPassFilter" f_lowPassFilter :: Ptr (CFloat) -> Ptr (CFloat) -> IO (()) --------------------------- and the C function is defined as: //////////////////////// void lowPassFilter(float *buff, float *sum) { // Work part for (i = 0; i < NUM_TAPS; i++) { printf("buff %d = %f \n", i, *(buff++)); *sum += *(buff++) * coeff[i]; } } //////////////////////// It works well! Thank you so much!

Marshal Haskell list into monolithic arrays
by zhu Jun 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hi all, There is a 'newArray' operation in MarshallArray to marshal Haskell list, with the definination of 'newArray :: Storable a => [a] -> IO (Ptr a)'. However, when I pass the 'Ptr a' to a C function, only the the first element of the list is available in C. Could anyone give some hints? The C function looks like: //////////////////// void lowPassFilter(float *fs[10], float *sum) { // Only *fs[0] is available here, why? } ////////////// with the import call in Haskell like this: foreign import ccall safe "lowPassFilter" lowPassFilter :: Ptr (CFloat) -> Ptr (CFloat) -> IO (()) Should I use ' lowPassFilter :: Ptr ([CFloat]) -> Ptr (CFloat) -> IO (())', and define 'float fs[10]' to be Storable in Haskell?

No automatic support for marshaling of structures?
by zhu Jun 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hi All, When I was trying to marshal a C structure in Haskell, I met such error: "Illegal structure or union type! There is no automatic support for marshaling of structures and unions". However, if I try to marshal the pointer to a structure, it works well. Could anyone give me any hints? Thank you! The structure I define in C is: ------------- typedef point{ int x,y; }; -------------- And the marshaling code in C2HS is: -------------- newtype Point = Point {#type point#} -------------- Best wishes, Jun Direct: +46 8 790 4150 Fax: +46 8 751 1793 Post Address: KTH/IMIT/ LECS, Electrum 229, SE-164 40 Kista, Sweden Visiting address: Forum-Building, Isafjordsgatan 39, 8th floor, elevator C
