Re: [Haskell-cafe] GHC throws IOError on Win32 when there is no console

Hi Paul, Can I have your code that doesn't work? I want to fiddle with it a bit. Thanks -John On 2/12/07, Paul Moore wrote:

It probably wouldn't be hard to write a reasonably general wrapper for this, but it's a bit late now so I'll leave that as an exercise :-)

Sigh. I tried to set this up (using a little external C routine to do the API grunt work) and it doesn't seem to work as I expect. Maybe the C/GHC runtimes do something more complex than just using the API standard handles, maybe I coded something wrong.

In theory, this should work. In practice, Haskell may benefit from an equivalent of the C freopen() function (from stdio), which deals correctly with the internals of handles...

Paul.
