I can't seem to find any information on how to deal with C functions that return a (pointer to a) struct. C2hs tells me there's no automatic support for marshalling structs (I'm using version 0.14.5). If I'm to do it by hand, is there a preferred way? (E.g. make the type adhere to the type Storable.) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus.therning@gmail.com http://therning.org/magnus Unreadable code, Why would anyone use it?

Yes, you want to make it an instance of Storable. You can use c2hs's get and set hooks to help with this. Duncan
