How to... use haskell 'functions' in C(++) sources ?
Everything is in the title. I like "simplicity" of Haskell and would like to use what i write in my c/c++ programs. Thanks a lot by advance.
I recently asked you who knows how to link haskell-made code to C apps, or call haskell code from C code, or encapsulate, traduce, Haskell code in C code. I just want to use haskell when I need advanced algorithms, & C for I/O, and GUI (under windows).. If my question has been answered yet, or if my english is too bad, please say me, or give me links to answers. Thanks. Antoine Utonium wrote:

I guess, there are people who have tried, but failed :-) The easiest way would be to make a COM server in Haskell. You should have a look at the HDirect sources, where there are some examples. Generally using a COM dll from Haskell seems to work, while the other way round seems to be problematic. Karl M. Syring

Thank you for your answer. I don't really know what is a COM server but msdn doc probably will say me more on that. I saw a work at microsoft research, called Pan, which used Haskell code, and translated it to C to compile it. But produced code was too obfusquated to reuse it in C sources. So i'm going to try COM solution.

If the library you want to use is already available under COM, I agree with Karl M Syring that Haskell->COM tools (i.e., H/Direct) are the way to go. If they are available as normal C libraries, I'd recommend using either the foreign function interface (ffi) http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ffi/ or one of the tools that sits atop the foreign function interface. There is a very preliminary and slightly dated overview of all the tools here: http://www.reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/docs/ffi.html The best place to ask for information is on the ffi mailing list (ffi@haskell.org). In general, the more specific your question, the better the answer is likely to be. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ffi/ Hope this helps. -- Alastair Reid
