Say I have a haskell function 'f' that does a forkIO and starts an action "a". I create a DLL of this haskell code and inovke "f" from C. Can I expect the "a" to continue to run once "f" has returned to C?
While you're off in C the I/O manager and garbage collector are suspended. Many C programs are not prepared to deal with the side effects of their operation, such as being interrupted by timer signals; moreover, it is not possible to have multiple handlers at the OS level for a signal, and C programs may want to use the signal handlers themselves. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
