Answer 1

Just an update. The comment by High Performance Mark on the question did a great job of answering the question. I wanted to provide a link to some more current documentation.

Have a look at C Interoperability which describes the options for calling C libraries. Note that Chapel supports a way to call C code directly (without explicitly using the foreign function interface) with the extern block feature.

extern {
   #include <stdio.h>
   static void hello(void) {
     printf("Hello Chapel and C Interoperability!\n");
   }
}

hello();

There's quite a lot more you can do - see the C Interoperability document linked above for details.

Another interesting option for working with libraries is the Python/Chapel integration module.

Answer 2

There is now the CDO Library which I use extensively to connect to Postgres. Works great!
