-- ^ A value of type @'Ptr' a@ represents a pointer to an object, or an
-- array of objects, which may be marshalled to or from Haskell values

--
-- The type @a@ will often be an instance of class
-- 'Foreign.Storable.Storable' which provides the marshalling operations.
-- However this is not essential, and you can provide your own operations
-- to access the pointer.  For example you might write small foreign
-- functions to get or set the fields of a C @struct@.

-- Function pointers for the default calling convention.

data FunPtr a = FunPtr Addr# deriving (Eq, Ord)
-- ^ A value of type @'FunPtr' a@ is a pointer to a function callable
-- from foreign code.  The type @a@ will normally be a /foreign type/,
-- a function type with zero or more arguments where
--
-- * the argument types are /marshallable foreign types/,
--   i.e. 'Char', 'Int', 'Double', 'Float',
--   'Bool', 'Data.Int.Int8', 'Data.Int.Int16', 'Data.Int.Int32',
--   'Data.Int.Int64', 'Data.Word.Word8', 'Data.Word.Word16',
--   'Data.Word.Word32', 'Data.Word.Word64', @'Ptr' a@, @'FunPtr' a@,
--   @'Foreign.StablePtr.StablePtr' a@ or a renaming of any of these
--   using @newtype@.
-- 
-- * the return type is either a marshallable foreign type or has the form
--   @'IO' t@ where @t@ is a marshallable foreign type or @()@.
--
-- A value of type @'FunPtr' a@ may be a pointer to a foreign function,
-- either returned by another foreign function or imported with a
-- a static address import like
--
-- > foreign import ccall "stdlib.h &free"
-- >   p_free :: FunPtr (Ptr a -> IO ())
--
-- or a pointer to a Haskell function created using a /wrapper/ stub
-- declared to produce a 'FunPtr' of the correct type.  For example:
--
-- > type Compare = Int -> Int -> Bool
-- > foreign import ccall "wrapper"
-- >   mkCompare :: Compare -> IO (FunPtr Compare)
--
-- Calls to wrapper stubs like @mkCompare@ allocate storage, which
-- should be released with 'Foreign.Ptr.freeHaskellFunPtr' when no
-- longer required.
--
-- To convert 'FunPtr' values to corresponding Haskell functions, one
-- can define a /dynamic/ stub for the specific foreign type, e.g.
--
-- > type IntFunction = CInt -> IO ()
-- > foreign import ccall "dynamic" 
-- >   mkFun :: FunPtr IntFunction -> IntFunction

-- |The constant 'nullFunPtr' contains a
-- distinguished value of 'FunPtr' that is not
-- associated with a valid memory location.

nullFunPtr = FunPtr nullAddr#

-- |Casts a 'FunPtr' to a 'FunPtr' of a different type.
castFunPtr :: FunPtr a -> FunPtr b
castFunPtr (FunPtr addr) = FunPtr addr

-- |Casts a 'FunPtr' to a 'Ptr'.
--
-- /Note:/ this is valid only on architectures where data and function
-- pointers range over the same set of addresses, and should only be used
-- for bindings to external libraries whose interface already relies on
-- this assumption.
