Why not:
isNullPtr = (==nullPtr)
? Oh sure....sorry.... i tried this before, but i had a small confusion with my type-signatures in my program and it didn't work. Now i fixed my signatures and its working.... But there is one more (small) question: If i am using the "peekCString" function with a null-pointer my program crashes, because the peekCString function is trying to read a String from an illegal address. But is this normal behaviour of this function? Shouldn't it check for a null-pointer and then return an empty String, raise an exception or do something else than crashing my program?
Oh, and my compiler is ghc-5.04.2 on linux-2.4.20 thx christian
