Module documentation for 0.20.1

There are no documented modules for this package.

C->Haskell assists in the development of Haskell bindings to C libraries. It extracts interface information from C header files and generates Haskell code with foreign imports and marshaling. Unlike writing foreign imports by hand (or using hsc2hs), this ensures that C functions are imported with the correct Haskell types.

after all import hooks anyway

<juhp@01.246.ne.jp> fixes $sys variable setting

* toplevel/Version.hs (versnum): 0.9.4

2001-05-06 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

* gen/GenBind.hs (extractCompType): rewrote that thing again

* c/CTrav.hs (checkForOneAliasName): added

2001-05-05 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

* c/CTrav.hs (chaseDecl): simplified

* toplevel/Version.hs (versnum): 0.9.3

2001-05-03 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

* gen/GenBind.hs (expandHook): added import hook
(mergePtrMap): added
(dumpPtrMap): added

* chs/CHS.hs (loadCHI): added
(dumpCHI): added
(CHSHook): added `import' hook

* chs/CHSLexer.hs: Added the keywords `import' and `qualified'

* toplevel/Version.hs (versnum): 0.9.2

2001-05-02 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

* gen/GenBind.hs (extractCompType): as pointed out by Axel Simon,
we can't return `ForeignPtr's from imported foreign functions
(setGet): the `accessType' story is largely redundant with the new
formulation of `extractCompType', but we still need to check the
marshaled type
(setGet): `DefinedET' now takes a declaration rather than an
identifier as its first argument; this is necessary for anonymous
declerators
(extractCompType): functions are now extracted correctly

* c/CTrav.hs (isPtrDecl): works on identifiers now and chases
declarations
(dropPtrDeclr): added

* gen/GenBind.hs (extractCompType): completely rewrote this
function to properly handle pointer and function types and honour
aliases introduced by pointer hooks

2001-05-01 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

* c/CTrav.hs (isPtrDeclr): functions types without an explizit
pointer constructor are no longer regarded as pointers

* gen/CInfo.hs: renamed `CAddrPT' and `CFunAddrPT' to `CPtrPT' and
`CFunPtrPT', respectively

* gen/GenBind.hs (extractCompType): revised for pointer hooks

2001-04-30 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

`newtype'

* toplevel/Version.hs (versnum): 0.9.1

* gen/GenBind.hs: clean up

2001-04-21 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

* chs/CHSLexer.hs: Added `(' and `)'

* chs/CHS.hs: Added code implementing the `alias' hook and the
`deriving' option for the `enum' hook. This code was contributed
by Axel Simon <simona_@web.de> (also related code in CHSLexer.hs);
but added parenthesis to `deriving'

* c/CTrav.hs: Added code implementing the `alias' hook, which
was contributed by Axel Simon <simona_@web.de>

* gen/GenBind.hs: The following patch was contributed by Axel
Simon <simona_@web.de>: `extractCompType' generates addresses
of type `Ptr <type>' instead of `Addr' (if `--old-ffi=no', which
is the default)

* configure.in: Adapted for ghc 5.00

* toplevel/Version.hs (versnum): 0.9.0 "Blue Ginger"

2001-02-22 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

2001-02-19 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

* c2hs-config.in: generated code needs -package lang for
compilation and linking

2001-02-13 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au>

* lib/NewStablePtr.hs.in: Adaptation layer for StablePtr for the
