John,
Could you please give an example of such constant definitions? Is it possible to look at the include file?
Incidentally, I looked at hsffig. There were a couple issues with using it for this: 1) It didn't declare types for the imported constants, so Haddock wouldn't generate a list over it. 2) It included all sorts of other #defined items, from other headers (stdio.h maybe), making it unsuitable to re-export directly to the user. (I'd have to re-key everything anyway) 3) It tried to list some of the GCC internal conditionals as constants, making the .hsc not compile unless I manually removed some of them. I really like the idea, though. Autodetecting these is great, since they could vary somewhat from implementation to implementation. Right now, I'm using hsc2hs, and writing something like this: #enum LDAPInt, , LDAP_PORT, LDAPS_PORT, LDAP_API_VERSION, LDAP_VENDOR_NAME, \ LDAP_OPT_API_INFO, LDAP_OPT_DESC, LDAP_OPT_DEREF, \ LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT, LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, \ LDAP_OPT_RESTART, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, LDAP_OPT_SERVER_CONTROLS, \ That boils down to this: ldapPort :: LDAPInt ldapPort = 389 ldapsPort :: LDAPInt ldapsPort = 636 So I still lack typechecking, and have to manually key in all the identifiers, but at least the system pulls their values and types in for me. -- John
