Re: [Haskell-cafe] Storable types with zero size

1 byte alignment might be tricky. When talking about storable, its helpful to keep in mind that it's meant to facilitate c interop, and ask what the corresponds with unit in c land, and I think the answer is 0 bits :) On Friday, December 18, 2015, Douglas McClean wrote:

Can the sizeOf a Storable type be 0?

As far as I can see the documentation doesn't say. I wouldn't expect there to be a problem, but there also isn't an instance Storable (), which I was expecting to see.

If so, should its alignment be 1 or 0?
