Wrapping a C function could perhaps be provided by something like data IOF a = ... | forall i o. Foreign String i (o -> a) | ... csin :: Double -> IO Double csin x = liftF (Foreign "math.h sin" x id) Tom _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
