Ha. So that explains why it sort-of worked before, since the promotion doesn't happen if there is a prototype. Well spotted. How absolutely horrible. Why do the C people have such a bizarre set of rules? J _______________________________________________ FFI mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ffi
