The following code works under arm-linux-gnueabi and native, but not under qnx: {{{ #include <stdio.h> #include <ffi.h> /* Acts like puts with the file given at time of enclosure. */ void puts_binding(ffi_cif *cif, unsigned int *ret, void* args[], FILE *stream) { *ret = fputs(*(char **)args[0], stream); } int main() { ffi_cif cif; ffi_type *args[1]; ffi_closure *closure; int (*bound_puts)(char *); int rc; /* Allocate closure and bound_puts */ closure = ffi_closure_alloc(sizeof(ffi_closure), &bound_puts); if (closure) { /* Initialize the argument info vectors */ args[0] = &ffi_type_pointer; /* Initialize the cif */ if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_DEFAULT_ABI, 1, // if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_VFP, 1, // if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_SYSV, 1, &ffi_type_uint, args) == FFI_OK) { /* Initialize the closure, setting stream to stdout */ if (ffi_prep_closure_loc(closure, &cif, puts_binding, stdout, bound_puts) == FFI_OK) { rc = bound_puts("Hello World!"); /* rc now holds the result of the call to fputs */ } } } /* Deallocate both closure, and bound_puts */ ffi_closure_free(closure); return 0; } }}} The formatting's a little off, because I cut and paste it from the libffi documentation. So, that crashes stacks when built with gcc and run on qnx. I looked into libffi some and found that the problem seems to be in two calls of `__clear_cache`, which are meant to clear arm's instruction and data caches, since it's doing tricky stuff in there. They appear to be causing trouble, though... Seems like this person [http://community.qnx.com/sf/discussion/do/listPosts/projects.bazaar/discussi... was having the same trouble with Python on QNX] `__clear_cache` appears to be Linux syscall thing on ARM for this, and while the code is building on QNX, maybe it works differently there, or is broken? Either way, I think I'll have to work on this with the FFI people unless any of you know what's up. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7621#comment:10> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
