[C2hs] Re: On the disappearance of CLDouble

Duncan Coutts:

GHC 6.12 removes the CLDouble type from the FFI libs. Of course this means c2hs currently does not compile. The question is what level we should handle this at. Do we also stop recognising and translating long double in C code? Perhaps we should recognise it but fail with an error message to the effect that there is no corresponding Haskell type.

Yes, failing with a helpful error message seems best, especially as support for the type should be back at some point. Manuel
