Name: storable-enum Version: 0.0 Synopsis: Wrapper that makes any Enum type Storable Description: In foreign function interfaces you will often want to use enumeration types but defining 'Storable' instances is cumbersome. This package provides the type @Enum.Storable.T w e@, where e.g. @Enum.Storable.T Word8 Ordering@ means that values of type 'Ordering' are stored in a 'Word8'. The 'Storable' methods store the numeric values of the enumeration elements as obtained by 'fromEnum'. E.g. 'EQ' is stored as @1@. The type itself stores a Haskell enumeration element, such that GHC can apply all of its optimizations for enumerations. It is not checked, whether the storage type @w@ is large enough to hold all admissible numeric values of @e@. It is also not checked, whether the storage type @w@ supports negative values whenever the enumeration of @e@ contains ones. . See the @bool8@ package for the special case of a 'Bool' stored in a 'Word8'.
