I don't have a E/FromHs.hs~ in my repo so this patch can't apply, perhaps something odd is going on?

Have you removed yours in your working branch? I'm working against http://repetae.net/john/repos/jhc

Could you explain a little more about this patch? thanks.

Well, I've got "foreign export ccall" generating E that typechecks and gets translated into grin for pure functions... but it isn't yet added to grinEntryPoints. Also, somehow "f"s are getting stuck on the beginning of the names... For example: import Jhc.Int import Jhc.Enum foreign export increment :: Int -> Int foreign export succ :: Int -> Int But don't try: import Jhc.IO import Jhc.Num foreign export foo :: IO Int foo :: Num a => IO a foo = returnIO 1 -- because I haven't figured out how to generate the code for those quite yet. I think I might need unsafePerformIO? P.S. sorear (stefanor) and dons say that we'd be interested in hearing about what FunctorM has that Control.Applicative lacks. libraries@haskell.org recieves library complaints, questions, and comments *very* well. Basically, we want to know what the problem is so we can fix it ;-).
