c2hs is an interface generator that simplifies the development of
|
|
|
|
|
Haskell bindings to C libraries. The tool processes existing C
|
|
|
|
|
header files that determine data layout and function signatures on
|
|
|
|
|
the C side, in conjunction with Haskell modules that specify
|
|
|
|
|
Haskell-side type signatures and marshaling details. Hooks embedded
|
|
|
|
|
in the Haskell code signal access to C structures and functions;
|
|
|
|
|
they are expanded by the interfacing tool in conjunction with
|
|
|
|
|
information in the corresponding C header file. A noteworthy
|
|
|
|
|
property is the lightweight nature of the approach.
