------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
I encounter a strange 'ghc panic' bug when I try to export the function
 onKeyDown below. I'm using ghc 6.4 and WindowsXP on x86.

 The bug seems to be caused by the use of {{{Bool}}} in
 {{{DumaKeyCallback}}}, because when I change the {{{Bool}}} to an
 {{{Int}}} everything compiles ok. Therefore I wonder if this is something
 to do with the compilation of "wrapper" imports not liking a Bool in the
 type signature?

 Anyway here is the full standalone example and session transcript:
 {{{
 module Keyboard
         ( Key(..)
         , KeyCallback

         , onKeyDown -- compiles fine if this export is commented out

         ) where

 import Foreign.Ptr

 data Key
         = KeyLButton -- other keys ommitted
         | KeyDown
         deriving (Enum)

 type KeyCallback = Key -> IO ()

 type DumaKeyCallback = Bool -> Int -> IO () -- Crashes GHC

 -- type DumaKeyCallback = Int -> Int -> IO () -- But this compiles
 fine!!!! ?

 foreign import ccall "wrapper" mkDumaKeyCallback :: DumaKeyCallback -> IO
 (FunPtr DumaKeyCallback)

 toDumaKeyCallback :: KeyCallback -> DumaKeyCallback
 toDumaKeyCallback f = \alt key -> f (toEnum key)

 foreign import ccall duma_onKeyDown :: FunPtr DumaKeyCallback -> IO ()

 onKeyDown :: KeyCallback -> IO ()
 onKeyDown f = mkDumaKeyCallback (toDumaKeyCallback f) >>= duma_onKeyDown
 }}}
