Re: Foreign.destructArray

Doesn't look like it. I looked around the full archive and the only mention of destructArray is from Marcin's post from March 2001:

If not, I'm going to add also destructArray and destructArray0 to MarshalArray, and lengthArray0 while I am at it (it was used internally so it makes sense to be provided separately), and document it.

Regardless, it would be nice if functions were first deprecated and then removed. I'm really wishing at this point that I hadn't upgraded to ghc 5.04; most of my programs no longer compile due to the library restructuring and for every function I use that's not pure Haskell 98 (which is a fair amount, unfortunately), I've had to grep around the imports directory to find out where it moved to. I don't mean to point a finger at anyone for this, but I was expecting either a smoother transition or for the version number of GHC to change significantly. A minor version change should not break programs (imo). Sorry for the tirade, but I'm pressured to get some code out soon and this isn't helping things. -- Hal Daume III "Computer science is no more about computers | hdaume@isi.edu than astronomy is about telescopes." -Dijkstra | www.isi.edu/~hdaume On Wed, 24 Jul 2002, Manuel M T Chakravarty wrote:

what happened to Foreign.destructArray? I can't seem to find it anywhere...

Was removed. The rational should be in the archive of ffi@haskell.org.
