I'm trying to create a client application that needs to read and write
data from a socket. What I want to do is to have one thread reading the
socket and another thread writing to the same socket, but I can't get it
to work.



You could take a look at lambdabot:

       http://www.scannedinavian.org/repos/lambdabot/lambdabot/

It has a two-thread structure similar to what you appear to need.  Look
in IRC.hs specifically.



That code looked very much like what I was trying to do. The difference? I had my writer loop running in the main thread. Forking the writer to its own thread did take care of the evil "Fail: thread blocked indefinitely". But I'm still not sure about the scheduling/blocking issue. You do seem to have one thread reading to the same handle as another thread is reading. Isn't that a problem?

Well, the code works well enough for my purposes now. :)

Btw, you import GHC.IO and not System.IO. What is the diffrence between those two?

Thanks,
M�rten
