Module documentation for 0.28.2

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.

Changes

TO GITHUB AND ARE DESCRIBED IN THE MAIN ChangeLog FILE.


2005-12-12 Manuel M T Chakravarty <[email protected]>

2002-01-15 Manuel M T Chakravarty <[email protected]>

* gen/GenBind.hs (mergeMaps): now, the read map overrides any
entires for shared keys in the map that is already in the monad;
this is so that, if multiple import hooks add entries for shared

* gen/GenBind.hs (expandHook): revised to properly handle struct,
union, and enum tags as C identifiers in pointer hooks; also

* c/CTrav.hs (findTypeObjMaybe): added
(lookupDeclOrTag): added
(enumName): added

* toplevel/Version.hs (versnum): 0.9.2

2001-05-02 Manuel M. T. Chakravarty <[email protected]>

* 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

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