As explained in detail here: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ffi/2012-June/001867.html, it may be useful to have a form of foreign declaration that creates a static stub for a haskell function without exporting a symbol. Here is a ticket for that: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7048. It is not particularly clear how such a declaration would look like syntactically. In the ticket I proposed the following: foreign import ccall myCallbackPtr :: FunPtr (IO ()) = myCallback but please do suggest better alternatives. It would also be useful to see some use cases of this new form of declaration. Library binding authors: would this be a welcome addition for you? BR, Paolo
