I have a problem regarding FFI in Haskell and the interactive mode of GHC again.
Consider FFISo.hs
:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
module Main where
import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B
import FFIFun.Foo
main :: IO ()
main = do
B.putStrLn "main"
callMeFromC
callMeFromHaskell
return ()
c.c
:
#include <stdio.h>
void callMeFromC(void);
void callMeFromHaskell(void)
{
printf("callMeFromHaskell\n");
callMeFromC();
}
FFIFun/Foo.hs
:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
{-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-}
module FFIFun.Foo where
import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as B
foreign import ccall "callMeFromHaskell"
callMeFromHaskell :: IO ()
foreign export ccall callMeFromC :: IO ()
callMeFromC :: IO ()
callMeFromC = B.putStrLn "callMeFromC"
and a Makefile
:
SHELL := bash
GHC_OPT := -Wall -O2 -fno-warn-unused-do-bind
all: ffiso
test: ffiso
./$<
ffiso: FFISo.hs c.c
ghc --make $(GHC_OPT) $^ -o $@
clean:
rm -rf *{.hi,o,_stub.*} ffiso FFIFun/*{.hi,.o,_stub.*}
ghci: ffiso
ghci -package bytestring FFIFun/Foo.o c.o FFISo.hs
you find it also here as a gist.
So, my problem now:
$ make ghci
[...]
Ok, modules loaded: Main, FFIFun.Foo.
Prelude Main> -- fine, it's loading.
Prelude Main> :t callMeFromC
<interactive>:1:1: Not in scope: `callMeFromC'
Prelude Main> -- uhm, why?
Prelude Main> :t main
main :: IO ()
Prelude Main> main
GHCi runtime linker: fatal error: I found a duplicate definition for symbol
FFIFunziFoo_callMeFromC_info
whilst processing object file
./FFIFun/Foo.o
This could be caused by:
* Loading two different object files which export the same symbol
* Specifying the same object file twice on the GHCi command line
* An incorrect `package.conf' entry, causing some object to be
loaded twice.
GHCi cannot safely continue in this situation. Exiting now. Sorry.
Hrmpf, what is wrong here? Interestingly I get an different error on i686
(above, it's a x86_64
system, but both GHC 7.4.1):
GHCi runtime linker: fatal error: I found a duplicate definition for symbol
__stginit_FFIFunziFoo
whilst processing object file
./FFIFun/Foo.o
This could be caused by:
* Loading two different object files which export the same symbol
* Specifying the same object file twice on the GHCi command line
* An incorrect `package.conf' entry, causing some object to be
loaded twice.
GHCi cannot safely continue in this situation. Exiting now. Sorry.
Also, is there some documentation about it? I feel like I'm the only one who has hard times with FFI and GHCi out there.
edit:
note, that make test
works fine:
$ ghc --make -Wall -O2 -fno-warn-unused-do-bind FFISo.hs c.c -o ffiso
