Thanks a lot it works now :)

You can alias HklFactory:
type HklFactory = Ptr ()

Or if you want to avoid mixing HklFactory and other pointers, you can use:
newtype HklFactory = HklFactory (Ptr ()) deriving (Storable)

The latter requires the GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving extension, see: https://wiki.haskell.org/Foreign_Function_Interface#Renaming_and_Storable_instances

Ok, so now I get this error


ghkl.hs:20:18:
    No instance for (Foreign.Storable.Storable HklFactory)
      arising from a use of ‘peekArray’
    In a stmt of a 'do' block: peekArray n factories
    In the expression:
      do { factories <- c_hkl_factory_get_all ptr;
           n <- peek ptr;
           peekArray n factories }
    In the second argument of ‘($)’, namely
      ‘\ ptr
         -> do { factories <- c_hkl_factory_get_all ptr;
                 n <- peek ptr;
                 .... }’


What should I do to create a Storable for HklFactory which is a simple pointer.

Thanks

Frederic
