That is, if you use the optional specification of a header file for each foreign import, and if your Haskell compiler can compile via C, then any checking that types match between Haskell and C can be performed automatically, by the backend C compiler.

Would this method work with return types since C compilers tend to let you ignore those? In this example that brought up this discussion it was in fact an ignored return value that caused the problem.

I've tried to look at GCC's warning options, but couldn't make it emit a warning on an ignored result. (Doesn't mean it isn't in there, of course) -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
