I'm just wondering -- for "primitive" C types (int, float, char, etc), why was the decision made in the FFI to have function declarations look like e.g.
foreign import ccall "math.h sin" sin :: CDouble -> CDouble
rather than
foreign import ccall "math.h sin" sin :: !CDouble -> !CDouble
Haskell doesn't reflect strictness of functions in their types, no matter whether foreign or not.
*sigh* Silly me, that's a rather good point. I guess I was off in Clean-land for a few minutes ... thanks Marcin. -- % Andre Pang : trust.in.love.to.save <http://www.algorithm.com.au/>
