194,Stricter than GHC about newtypes in FFI code,nomeata,,"Hi,

this is Haddock version 2.10.0 as shipped with GHC 7.4.1. The package GLUT-2.1.2.1 contains FFI code that GHC warns about, but haddock fails:

{{{
[ 9 of 21] Compiling Graphics.UI.GLUT.Window ( Graphics/UI/GLUT/Window.hs, dist-ghc/build/Graphics/UI/GLUT/Window.o )

Graphics/UI/GLUT/Window.hs:113:1:
    Warning: newtype `Window' is used in an FFI declaration,
             but its constructor is not in scope.
             This will become an error in GHC 7.6.1.
    When checking declaration:
      foreign import ccall unsafe ""static glutCreateWindow"" glutCreateWindow
        :: CString -> IO Window
}}}
vs.

}}}

But something is fishy, the {{{[..]}}} part contains a few of the {{{Warning: newtype `CInt' is used in an FFI declaration,}}} warnings, so maybe something else is amiss here.",defect,new,major,,2.9.4,,,
