Hi Frank, You are looking for the foreign function interface (FFI) for Haskell. Googling this will produce no end of _somewhat_ useful results. Basically you can call Haskell from C and vice versa. I'm not aware of a hs ffi explicitly for C++, but it is essentially the same/likely short work to do the C<->C++ interface for any particular application. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/FFI_Introduction http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/Using_the_FFI There is some code that I wrote for an abandoned project that might help you out at lotusstem.us/ffi.zip (sorry for the random site, the code somehow ended up on that server and I'm without a laptop to easily move it now). If i remember correctly I had issues with hsFFI.h so just avoided using it entirely. Likely not the correct approach but hopefully enough to get you started.

Hi, I have recently been introduced to Haskell and find it quite fascinating. I am interested in incorporating it into a C++ project on which I am working, porting pieces of that program to Haskell when practical. Is Anyone able to point Me in the direction of a "crash course" or "quick start" guide for Anyone used to programming in C++ seeking to call Haskell code from the C++ portion and/or vice versa? I am especially interested in knowing how to pass information from, say, the C++ standard template library containers (e.g., vector, valarray, etc.) and into Haskell functions/methods/procedures/etc. While I might have missed such information when I performed a web search on the topic, I did not find any information to help. Any assistance in finding such material would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Frank D. Martinez

wxHaskell uses C to bind to wxWidgets, which is written in C++. See for instance: https://github.com/wxHaskell/wxHaskell/blob/master/wxc/src/cpp/wrapper.cpp A short introduction how to write a C wrapper can be found at: http://wewantarock.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/who-is-my-community/ look for "Wrapping C++ for beginners" Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- Folding@home What if you could share your unused computer power to help find a cure?
