[Haskell-cafe] Control.Concurrent export/import weirdness

13 Apr 2009


      Why is this function exported then imported?

    foreign export ccall forkOS_entry
        :: StablePtr (IO ()) -> IO ()

    foreign import ccall "forkOS_entry" forkOS_entry_reimported
        :: StablePtr (IO ()) -> IO ()

    forkOS_entry :: StablePtr (IO ()) -> IO ()
    forkOS_entry stableAction = do
            action <- deRefStablePtr stableAction
            action
