your patch is great, but it is incompatible with Unix and Win9x systems
Yes, it's just partial modified files. I don't test to build on Unix yet. But if we want to support Win98, we can use opencow (or MSLU) like Win32 package HEAD.
i've heard about this MSLU, but don't known that it is supported in Win32 package. so, we need to define only: open = #if WINDOWS wopen #else open #endif
may be, you will be interested to work on low-level IO library as proposed in http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library/IO ?
Yes, I'm interested in it.
in this case, i propose the following plan - write and test this library and only then write patch for the base. i think that debugging of independent library should be easier than working directly with base source modules for this library can be extracted from Streams (File, MappedFile) and base (System.Directory.*, System.Posix.Internals) if you are student, you can apply for SoC ticket dedicated to this work: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1113 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/wiki/StudApply -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
