See New description: A whole lot of types are still missing from `System.Posix.Types` as noted in a TODO comment in the code: {{{ --- ToDo: blksize_t, clockid_t, blkcnt_t, fsblkcnt_t, fsfilcnt_t, id_t, key_t --- suseconds_t, timer_t, useconds_t }}} Specifically the lack of a wrapper for `blkcnt_t` is causing trouble because it's forcing HFuse to re-implement `unix`'s `FileStatus` type to include the missing `st_blocks` field. See [https://hackage.haskell.org/package/HFuse/docs/System- Fuse.html#t:FileStat FileStat docs on Hackage]. I have patches for `base` and `unix` ready to add wrappers for all the types the comment mentions, let's see if I can figure out how to use Phab ;) -- -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12795#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
