My question is: does anybody know what the status of the FFI is in the latest Hugs? Should I use the "primitive" keywords instead?
The strategy I used when implementing Apple high-level events on the MacHugs was to pass over strings only: I found two different foreign interfaces in the C source code, combined them in order to provide conversions back and forth to lazy Haskell/strict C strings. Then I hardwired some new primitives in a new module that must be loaded in order to call my extensions in C. Hans Aberg
