Hmm. That depends on what the output of the haskell program is. If I understand
you corrrectly the output of the program is what it writes to the stdout.
In this case you'll can do the job using popen(2) (or whatever is available
in your OS) - you create process to run 'runhaskell file.hs' and redirect
its stdout to a pipe.

There is also an FFI which allows you to call functions written in Haskell
from other languages. In this case your Haskell program must export C-level API
to be used from C++.

Or, and of cause you can use IPC to connect your programs.
