[Caml-list] [ANNOUNCE] virt-mem 0.2.8 has been released

[Perhaps people wonder what I do at Red Hat. Copied below is an announcement of some virtualization management tools that we wrote in OCaml. This might be interesting to people on this list because it heavily uses DSLs written in camlp4 and other camlp4 features such as "Reflective OCaml". It's

Re: [Caml-list] native vs bytecode

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 What do you mean by "dynamically load"? You cannot mix native and bytecode generally speaking. I don't know of any speed comparisons of OCaml bytecode. You can always compile to native code, which is faster, so I don't understand why you would wan

Re: [Caml-list] [camlp4] expr_of_string, string_of_expr functions exist?

Quoting Richard Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Maybe a simple question, but does camlp4 have functions to turn expr and patt AST structures to and from strings? One way to do it is to use the Camlp4.Printers module. To illustrate the idea, here's a complete working program that prints out all e

[Caml-list] native vs bytecode

hi As I try to acquire more knowledge about Ocaml I made a bit of an unpleseant discovery today. I always was fascinated by the execution performance of Ocaml. But now I've learned, that this is only true for native binaries and I'm a little confused now: - is it possible to dynamically load nativ

Re: [Caml-list] Re: how do you compile

Use ocamlbuild. You can simply type "ocamlbuild lazy_lists.native" or "ocamlbuild lazy_lists.byte" to produce native or byte code respectively. All compiled files get put in a separate directory called _build. On Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 10:39 AM, Ben Aurel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > then, the 'fi

[Caml-list] how do you compile

hi If you have a simple source code like lazy_lists.ml what is the best way to compile that in your opinion? I though it would be usefull to have anything but the .ml source code in a bin directory. What do you think of that? If I try that with "ocamlc -o bin/lazy_lists lazy_lists.ml" then,
