Are there any future plans to go with the SWIG group http://www.swig.org/ for interfacing with C code? They claim to support Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, Ruby, Guile, MzScheme, Java, OCAML, CHICKEN, and C#, and as I've understood, you just run something like "swig -python" on your header file to create everything you need to interface C to Python. At the moment, I'd like to generate Haskell access to all the functions and enums defined in the Oracle database C library libsqlora8 http://www.poitschke.de/libsqlora8/. Something like SWIG sounds ideal for that. C2hs looks good. But somehow, if I do it in c2hs I have to read and understand all about the ffi, stable pointers and foreign pointers etc. Is the problem just too complicated in Haskell to automate completely? Amanda
