X-Mailer: VM 7.17 under Emacs 21.3.2 From: Basile STARYNKEVITCH X-Loop: caml-list@inria.fr X-Spam: no; 0.00; basile:01 3.07:01 3.06:01 findlib:01 pervasives:01 gettext:01 faiencerie:01 92340:01 reine:01 nerim:01 tunes:01 ocaml:01 caml:01 recompile:01 btw:03 Sender: owner-caml-list@pauillac.inria.fr Precedence: bulk A question to the caml team whose answer would probably be interesting to the whole list. Is the beta (or the final, when available) release of 3.07 compatible at the the object level with 3.06? In other words, if my application uses a lot of (findlib managed) third parties' libraries, do I need to recompile all of them, or can I use ocaml 3.07 to link with libraries compiled with ocaml 3.06? BTW, I did search (the 'format4' word) in the beta documentation of 3.07 and did not found a clear explanation of the long awaited ('a,'b,'c,'d) Pervasives.format4 type - I would like a *detailed* explanation of what 'a 'b 'c 'd type variables stand for (even if I do guess partly what they are for). Are there any hints for using format4 strings with localisation (ie a wrapper to gettext)? -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basilestarynkevitchnet aliases: basiletunesorg = bstarynknerimnet 8, rue de la Faïencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
