I would like to create a datatype that contains some memory managed by the GHC runtime, the natural fit is ByteArr#, however, in the common case, the ByteArr# won't actually have anything in it. would it be possible to have a single constant 'nullByteArr#'? I can't define a top level value of type ByteArr# and creating these values is in very performance critical code so I am not quite sure what to do. It would also be nice if byteArrContents# returned 'nullAddr#' for such byte arrays, but it is not a strict requirement. John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
