At the moment, I don't think I need anything, I was just misreading certain features. the ghc backend seems to be working fine with the following caveats:
* all integral types (even Integer) are flattened to Int#.
I'm not sure I follow this - if I do foreign import ccall "static foo.h foo" foo :: Integer -> Integer then GHC tells me Unacceptable argument type in foreign declaration: Integer Unacceptable result type in foreign declaration: Integer Can you explain what you are doing that makes Integer get flattened, please?
* ghc -O on my generated programs crashes with the following:
ghc-6.6: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 6.6 for i386-unknown-linux): primRepHint:VoidRep
Another bug, thanks! Again, this isn't something we claim should work, but it should definitely either work or give a nice error message. I've filed it in trac: #1037. Thanks Ian
