Hi everyone, I'm trying to get HBDD compiled under GHC 6.8.1 and now I'm stuck with a .chs file which uses a "foreign label" syntax, which seems deprecated, since the parser can't even recognize it: foreign label "bdd_reorder_stable_window3" bdd_reorder_stable_window3 :: FunPtr (BDDManager -> IO ()) Is there new syntax for this ? Or is it a deprecated functionality ? Thanks in advance, -- Ricardo GuimarĂ£es Herrmann "In a concurrent world, imperative is the wrong default!" -- Tim Sweeney (Epic Games) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FFI%3A-%22foreign-label%22-declaration-tp14279625p1427...

I believe it is now "foreign import" with an ampersand in front of the name of the foreign entity, e.g. foreign import "& bdd_reorder_stable_window3" bdd_reorder_stable_window3 :: FunPtr (BDDManager -> IO ()) Regards, Malcolm

Changing "foreign label" to "foreign import ccall" (with the ampersand) did the trick, thanks. PS: At least it compiled, but I still didn't check if it works ;-) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/FFI%3A-%22foreign-label%22-declaration-tp14279625p1428...
