I think it would be a usefull addition to the haskell windows tool chain, and help facilitate the creation of bindings to libraries on windows where no appropriate import library exists. I am sure if you put it "out there" in whatever form, someone will find a use for it and perhaps build upon it. jvl Stephen Tetley wrote:
Hi All,
Would a pure Haskell version of pexports be useful to the Haskell community?
For a Sunday afternoon hack that turned out to take a bit more effort (its now Wednesday), I thought I'd code up a tool that extracts function symbols from .dll's (also when I first looked at the C pexports it seemed somewhat unadopted, though checking today it appears to in MinGW, so my local MinGW must be out-of-date).
If there are compelling uses that aren't covered by pexports and would ease Haskell C binding problems on Windows, I don't mind polishing up my tool, but otherwise I've exhausted my natural interest.
Best wishes
