Hi Bernie,
I've been playing with the FFI in GHC 5.02.2
I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly because I get a space leak in my program.
I just tried your example and it seems to run in constant space here with 5.02.2. The code looks fine - this isn't something we really envisaged people doing with the RTS API, but there's no real problem with it except that of course you don't get the benefits of type checking. I'm sure you have very good reasons for building Haskell expressions in C :-) Can you give us any more clues? What were the symptoms when you ran it? Cheers, Simon
