Re: passing a Handle to a C function

In local.glasgow-haskell-users, you wrote:

For Unix, use Posix.handleToFd to get a descriptor, then fdopen() (in C, or write a foreign import) to get a FILE*. Also, don't forget about synchronisation issues between the C and Haskell interfaces to the descriptor (e.g. buffering).

After the 'handleToFd', there shouldn't be any issues of interference because the handle becomes unusable in Haskell-land. Volker -- http://www-i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/stolz/ *** PGP *** S/MIME rage against the finite state machine
