Message: Logged In: YES user_id=349837 OK, I will have a try on this. I sort of understand x86 and x86_64 abi at the moment. There is only one question left at the moment: After I jump to StgFunPtr (a StgFun?) what will happen? Is this (a) a normal C land function that will require its argument (StgStablePtr hptr) as a 1st argument of the "universal" calling convention OR (b) some other kind of magic (from what source code?) that will pop its argument from the stack? Any answer would be appreciated. aanno ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gour (ggd) Date: 2005-01-08 11:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=728695 Hi! Just to add it's important issue for me since it affects the general gui-availability for Haskell language on amd64 platform since gtk2hs bindings also depend on it. Pls. raise this priority a little bit - amd64 is really a very 'natural' platform for Haskell :-) Sincerely, Gour ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Wolfgang Thaller (wthaller) Date: 2005-01-06 22:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=566359 Yes, this is just a "missing feature". A small piece of platform specific code (<50 lines) is required to get foreign import "wrapper" declarations to work, and wxhaskell uses them a lot. A volunteer who wants to fix this would need enough knowledge about assembly language in general to really understand a calling convention (literature on amd64's particular calling convention is available somewhere). Most of the amd64-specific details can be picked up on the job. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=358032&aid=1097471&group_id=8032
