#10505: more specific types in the generated *_stub.h files -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: imz | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler (FFI) | Version: 7.6.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: Type of failure: Other | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: #2979, #8222 | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by imz): The same problem and wish as mine are illustrated in http://stackoverflow.com/q/23629000/94687 by an attempt to use a Haskell function on Strings . The solutions so far: Either manual editing of the `.h` file (which may result in inconsistencies with the real code, and which is additional burden), or casting in the C code (which opens the door wide for inconsistencies with the real Haskell code). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10505#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
