I think I've answered my own question regarding the callbacks
as well. I realized that the only reason I made those sections
of code classes in OCaml, even though there would only be one
instance of them, was so I could do forward referencing. I'm
hoping that I'll get function pointers instead of delegate
pointers if I convert the class back to a module.
Sorry for talking to myself, but I'm hoping someone will help me
out. The above idea doesn't work. It appears that only the main
program file is going to have function pointers while modules and
classes will have delegates. So, does a library that uses
callbacks need 2 callback register functions as well as parallel
storage mechanisms, or is there a fairly simple way to make it
polymorphic? I was hoping a newbie would be able to use this
library, but not many newbies are going to understand this. I
suppose I could tell them to call registerFunction and if they
get a compiler error, then call registerDelegate? Or am I
missing something?
