Hi all,

After browsing through ocaml code I figured = out the following:

1. CAMLprim is for the functions to be exported and accessed from
ocaml code (functions that return “value”)
2. CAMLexport is for the functions called from C code.
3. CAMLextern is for the function declarations in headers when C = code

is hairy and consists of several = modules.

4. CAMLprim usage is presented as a Good Thing = for all the external code
in the reference manual but it is not even mentioned in the Oreilly = book.

5. CAMLprim & CAMLexport usage are = expecially important when messing
with windows dll’s, but I’ve never worked with dll’s = and can’t understand how
to use it.

Can this information be added in the reference = manual (if it is correct)?

Mikhail
