ok. There's quite a bit of HugsAPI2 code still being used and distributed. My preference is that support for it stayed around.
Really? Where? How much?
Win32 library. SOE. HDirect generated COM client code + libraries. GC, as released, will output HugsAPI3 decls. HDirect outputs HugsAPI2. So, pretty much any code generated by either tool that's out there.
Does it work with the new hierarchial libraries and with yesterday's CVS copy of Hugs (i.e., did it work before my commit)?
The only thing I've got access to now is the Win32 library, which works fine (well, sometime ago I had to go through it and use 'fromIntegral' throughout to do sized Int/Word conversions, as Int and Word dropped support for a bunch of conversion functions.) There's little cost in supporting it, hence my suggestion. I wouldn't mind simply having needPrims() treat 2&3 just like 4. --sigbjorn
