Hi Ryan,
I am trying to avoid "ifdef's" and have all decisions made at run-time (maybe given the nature of Haskell .. i..e static/compile-time type checking this is impossible) ...
I don't see how in any language you could introduce working run-time-determined os-specific code. How would you link with the windows libraries under linux, and vice versa? And moreover, why would you do so? Unless you're talking about running under an interpreter, I don't see how you'd construct a binary that would be able to run under both windows and linux.
A FFI supporting dynamic linking, plus a lot of hope? The binary wouldn't run under both OS's, but the program could pick which library to link against at runtime. -- Tommy M. McGuire mcguire@crsr.net
