I am chceking OpenAL CVS Log. Because I'm waiting that my patch is applied.
It will when I have time to look at it more closely...
And I saw this message: http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/cvs-libraries/2005-October/004551.html
Log: For some obscure/unknown reason, OpenAL uses ccall, even on WinDoze...
So I send again below message, and I notice where is the problem on windows. [...]
I am not sure if we are talking about the same problem here: As I've recently noticed to my surprise, the API entries in openal32.dll use the _cdecl calling convention! AFAIK this is very unusual for a WinDoze DLL, so the above commit makes sure that the Haskell binding always uses ccall, even on WinDoze. I've raised this issue on the OpenAL developer's list and asked for the rationale behind this, but got no real answer: http://opensource.creative.com/pipermail/openal-devel/2005-October/001555.ht... My personal guess is that this just happened by accident. :-) Cheers, S.
