Re: [Haskell] Using putStrLn/printf from DLL in GUI application

withConsole doesn't make much sense. The meaning of allocConsole/freeConsole is more like showConsole/hideConsole. You may want to show the console from DllMain when the dll is loaded and to hide it when it is unloaded. You can't do this with withConsole.

OK, then I misunderstood the meaning of those functions and simply demonstrated my virtually non-existent knowledge of the Win32 API details. ;-) I had a quick look into MSDN, and your proposal seems to make sense then. Nevertheless, a strange naming, but of course it is good to choose the same names in Haskell as in C... Cheers, S.
