Representations of C types
These types are needed to accurately represent C function prototypes,
in order to access C library interfaces in Haskell. The Haskell system
is not required to represent those types exactly as C does, but the
following guarantees are provided concerning a Haskell type CT
representing a C type t
:
- If a C function prototype has
t
as an argument or result type, the use ofCT
in the corresponding position in a foreign declaration permits the Haskell program to access the full range of values encoded by the C type; and conversely, any Haskell value forCT
has a valid representation in C.
will yield the same value assizeOf
(undefined
:: CT)sizeof (t)
in C.
matches the alignment constraint enforced by the C implementation foralignment
(undefined
:: CT)t
.- The members
peek
andpoke
of theStorable
class map all values ofCT
to the corresponding value oft
and vice versa. - When an instance of
Bounded
is defined forCT
, the values ofminBound
andmaxBound
coincide witht_MIN
andt_MAX
in C. - When an instance of
Eq
orOrd
is defined forCT
, the predicates defined by the type class implement the same relation as the corresponding predicate in C ont
. - When an instance of
Num
,Read
,Integral
,Fractional
,Floating
,RealFrac
, orRealFloat
is defined forCT
, the arithmetic operations defined by the type class implement the same function as the corresponding arithmetic operations (if available) in C ont
. - When an instance of
Bits
is defined forCT
, the bitwise operation defined by the type class implement the same function as the corresponding bitwise operation in C ont
.
