[Haskell-cafe] Stable pointers: use of cast to/from Ptr

[Yves Parès]

You mean I have to use a type like StablePtr (IORef Stuff)?
Because there I can only "peek" (deRefStablePtr) the pointer, not "poke" it.

I take it I should return to C a StablePtr to the new value if I don't want
to use IORefs...

Or else I have to use regular Ptrs with Foreign.Marshall.Alloc.malloc
