I'm curious if you have read the following paper: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/papers/Cha99b.html describing C2Hs tool used to provide bindings for C libraries for Haskell? From the abstract: "The tool obtains information about the C data type definitions and function signatures by analysing the C header files of the library. It uses this information to compute the missing details in the template of a Haskell module that implements a Haskell binding to the C library. Hooks embedded in the binding file signal where, which, and how C objects are accessed from Haskell. The Haskell code in the binding file determines Haskell type signatures and marshaling details. The approach is lightweight and does not require an extra interface description language." Sincerely, Gour -- The senses, the mind and the intelligence are the sitting places of this lust. Through them lust covers the real knowledge of the living entity and bewilders him.
