Hi, I'm trying to learn about Haskell's FFI (running 6.0.1 on linux) and see the following weird behavior with ghci:
You're seeing the right behaviour. ... The size of a Word64 value is 8 but the size of a pointer is always the same no matter what the pointer points to. Since most machines have 32-bit addresses, the size of a pointer will be 4 on most machines.
Yes, I was confused and thought it would give me the size of what it pointed instead of its size. Thanks for all replies. -- Ben Escoto
