"ghc" thinks that "Errno" should be an instance of "Num":
System/Posix/Aio.hsc:117:15:
No instance for (Num Errno)
I expect so it can compare it to -1(throwErrnoIfMinusOne). But if the
return value is actually an errno and not -1 to indicate error (which
it is if I read the manpage correctly), you don't want
throwErrnoIfMinus1 anyway; I suspect you want to wrap the return value
of c_aio_return (which should be IO CInt) in an Errno constructor,
then use errnoToIOError if you really want to raise an IOError.
(What were you expecting for "count"? I see none, just an errno.)
Note that it *never* returns -1; it returns 0 for successful
completion for the aiocb, EINPROGRESS if it's still working, and the
appropriate errno if it failed.
You might want to decide if you want to use the aio_return style
interface or something more Haskell-ish before designing this part of
the API. If you want to stick close to the C interface:
aioReturn :: AIOCB -> IO (AIOCB, Errno)
aioReturn aiocb = do
allocaBytes (#const sizeof(struct aiocb)) $ \ p_aiocb -> do
poke p_aiocb aiocb
err <- c_aio_return p_aiocb
aiocb <- peek p_aiocb
return (aiocb, Errno err)
I'd actually consider something more Haskellish, e.g. a variant of
StateT IO where the state is the aiocb and errno, the errno
initialized to eINPROGRESS and set by aioReturn and aioError (and once
aioReturn is called, it can't be called again so return the cached
value if needed).
