Tools for generating Haskell function dependency (control flow) graph?

Yes, there certainly are. If you look in the Development category on Hackage, you’ll find tools for:

  • graphing package dependencies — n.b requres older cabal
  • graphing module dependencies
  • graphing function calls
  • graphing running data structures

In particular, SourceGraph contains many analysis passes, including:

  • visualizing function calls
  • computing cyclomatic complexity
  • visualizing module imports

Other tools that you might be interested in are:

  • HPC, for visualizing test coverage
  • ThreadScope, for visualizing runtime behavior
  • lscabal, extract modules from a package

Here is the functional call graph produced by SourceGraph run over cabal2arch:
