\end{code} Desugaring of @foreign@ declarations is naturally split up into parts, an @import@ and an @export@ part. A @foreign import@ declaration \begin{verbatim} foreign import cc nm f :: prim_args -> IO prim_res \end{verbatim} is the same as \begin{verbatim} f :: prim_args -> IO prim_res f a1 ... an = _ccall_ nm cc a1 ... an \end{verbatim} so we reuse the desugaring code in @DsCCall@ to deal with these. \begin{code}

\end{code} %************************************************************************ %* * \subsection{Foreign import} %* * %************************************************************************ Desugaring foreign imports is just the matter of creating a binding that on its RHS unboxes its arguments, performs the external call (using the @CCallOp@ primop), before boxing the result up and returning it. However, we create a worker/wrapper pair, thus: foreign import f :: Int -> IO Int ==> f x = IO ( \s -> case x of { I# x# -> case fw s x# of { (# s1, y# #) -> (# s1, I# y# #)}}) fw s x# = ccall f s x# The strictness/CPR analyser won't do this automatically because it doesn't look inside returned tuples; but inlining this wrapper is a Really Good Idea because it exposes the boxing to the call site. \begin{code}
