[Haskell-cafe] C++ interface with Haskell

[Isaac Dupree]

perhaps

haskell:
foreign export "foo_func" foo :: Int -> IO Int
-- I forget the rest of the syntax here

C++:

extern "C" {
int foo_func(int i);
}

int some_cplusplus_function() {
   int bat = 3;
   int blah = foo_func(bat);
   return blah;
}


Is that all you need to do?
