No, this isn't so, at least not in bitstring. You can link your program with bitstring.cma and get access to the Bitstring.* library functions like the ones here: http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/bitstring/html/Bitstring.html#reference but you cannot use the special bitmatch syntax without preprocessing your source code with camlp4. It's trivial to add the preprocessor if you use ocamlfind, so in practice this is not a problem. Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
