Abstract
The increasing popularity of
component-based programming tools offer a big opportunity to designers of
advanced programming languages, such as Haskell. If we can package our
programs as software components, then it is easy to integrate them into
applications written in other languages.
In earlier work we described a preliminary integration of Haskell with
Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM), focusing on how Haskell can create
and invoke COM objects. This paper develops that work, concentrating on the
mechanisms that support externally-callable Haskell functions, and the
encapsulation of Haskell programs as COM objects.
