| In case you aren't aware of this, Windows DLL's by default, (actually | always, as far as I know) use the stdcall (Pascal) calling convention. | | I personally hope that you won't drop anything which facilitates using | Haskell under Windows. Dead right. I wasn't proposing removing the functionality, just changing how to get at it. More concretely, there are two alternatives 1. Treat C-via-stdcall and C-via-ccall as two different "languages". E.g. foreign import "C/stdcall" "gtk:foo" foo :: Int -> IO Int 2. Treat C as one language, but put the calling convention into the language specific string. E.g. foreign import "C" "stdcall/ gtk:foo" foo :: Int -> IO Int I prefer (1) but it's not a big deal. Simon
