-- combined allocation and marshalling
-- -----------------------------------

-- |Allocate a block of memory and marshal a value into it
-- (the combination of 'malloc' and 'poke').
-- The size of the area allocated is determined by the 'Foreign.Storable.sizeOf'
-- method from the instance of 'Storable' for the appropriate type.
--
-- The memory may be deallocated using 'Foreign.Marshal.Alloc.free' or
-- 'Foreign.Marshal.Alloc.finalizerFree' when no longer required.
--

-- |@'with' val f@ executes the computation @f@, passing as argument
-- a pointer to a temporarily allocated block of memory into which
-- @val@ has been marshalled (the combination of 'alloca' and 'poke').
--
-- The memory is freed when @f@ terminates (either normally or via an
-- exception), so the pointer passed to @f@ must /not/ be used after this.
--

with val f  =
  alloca $ \ptr -> do
    poke ptr val

--

-- marshalling lists of storable objects
-- -------------------------------------

-- |Replicates a @withXXX@ combinator over a list of objects, yielding a list of
-- marshalled objects
--

	 -> [a]			      -- storable objects

			      withMany withFoo xs (\xs' -> f (x':xs'))


-- Haskellish interface to memcpy and memmove
-- ------------------------------------------

-- |Copies the given number of bytes from the second area (source) into the
-- first (destination); the copied areas may /not/ overlap
--
