Are there plans to include C99 'complex' type in Foreign, maybe as CFloatComplex, CDoubleComplex
A separate library for new types to add to Foreign would be the easiest way forward. Just put the foreign-c99 package on Hackage?
(...) I could actually have some arbitrary sized parameter as argument to a function or as a return value (and not its pointer), what did I saw wrong? I understand only Foreign.C.C* types or forall a. => Foreign.Ptr.Ptr a can be used like that.
Oh, you mean you need to teach the compiler about unboxed complex types?
I'm sorry, maybe I didn't understand you well. Are you saying that I could get this 'CComplex' type using unboxed types and other things already available? Maurício
