I agree with Manuel here:

* errno *is* a thread local thing, of course.
Not a Haskell thread local thing, unfortunately. I *really* don't want to have a private errno in each Haskell thread object, which gets copied in after every foreign call. Anyone have any bright ideas here?
* s/Marshal/MarshalUtils/
ok, that seems to be the consensus. Cheers, Simon

Well, you could have a private errno in each Haskell thread object, which gets copied in at every Haskell thread switch... -- Fergus Henderson <fjh@cs.mu.oz.au> | "I have always known that the pursuit | of excellence is a lethal habit" WWW: <http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~fjh> | -- the last words of T.

Not StorableUtils, to show that it's a set of wrappers and utils extending basic Storable things? -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK

Hmm, StorableUtils would be more precise, but it sounds quite strange, I think. Manuel
