You can use FunPtr and wrapper imports to convert a FunPtr into a Haskell function. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.7.0.2/docs/Foreign-Ptr.html#g:2 You may be interested in my dynamic-linker-template package [1] to avoid having to write boilerplate wrappers. For now it only works with dynamic linking from System.Posix.DynamicLinker, but it could be easily extended to support other platforms. It automatically generates wrappers for all the functions in a record as well as the code to load symbol addresses and to convert them into Haskell functions (examples [2,3]).
