And Hugs too. The issue isn't extending the FFI but implementing it more accurately and consistently. As you point out, systems compiling via C have been extending the FFI to a function+macro interface, which is incompatible with systems compiling to native code. Having been bitten by the same thing in the opposite direction (macros that work with ffihugs or ghc -fvia-C don't work with ghc -fasm), I'd favour turning off the macro interface, preferably with #undef, at least by default. _______________________________________________ FFI mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ffi
