Template Haskell: support other FFI calling conventions

    • Closed Issue created by mtolly @trac-mtolly

    In the Template Haskell syntax representations, an FFI calling convention can currently only be CCall or StdCall. I'd like to generate code with GHCJS JavaScript imports, which use a "javascript" calling convention. The FFI section of the Report mentions other potential conventions, and specifically says that implementations can create new ones as appropriate, so perhaps a new constructor could be added which takes an arbitrary string? Something like:

    data Callconv = CCall | StdCall | Callconv String
    deriving( Show, Eq, Data, Typeable )
    Trac metadata
    Trac field Value
