Re: Is there a non-blocking version of hGetArray?

Not currently, but I could probably implement the equivalent (hGetArrayNonBlocking).

It is perhaps not closely related, but could we also have Network.Socket recvFrom / sendTo working on raw buffers? I've attached a proposed implementation. It moves most of code to recvBufFrom and sendBufTo, and changes recvFrom / sendTo to use the *Buf* functions. It would be nice if these functions could be used to implement efficient recvFromArray / sendToArray (without copying), but I don't know if it's possible to get the pointer from MutableByteArray. Is there a danger that GC invalidates the pointer? Best regards, Tom -- .signature: Too many levels of symbolic links
