Maybe the code generated by Hugs should be something like: #ifdef MACROS_ARE_COOL #undef malloc #endif ? (I'm not likely to implement this anytime soon but if someone has the energy to do so, go right ahead.) From what I know of NHC, it probably has the same extension and would benefit from the same cleanup. -- Alastair _______________________________________________ FFI mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/ffi
