Last I knew, this was impossible in Poly/ML due to no callbacks from C. Has something crucial changed?
The CInterface structure has had callbacks for a long time. They're only implemented on X86 but that covers the vast majority of users. There's an example in mlsource/extra/CInterface/Examples/ForeignTest.sml.
