Subject: C-like macros in OCaml
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 17:00:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1B4EC64C-435D-42C5-95F3-C01869DD41FB@rice.edu> (raw)
Hi there
Is there any way I can achieve the use of C-like preprocessor macros
in OCaml?
i.e.
#define FOO 1
etc.
I am using an array of bits (a bitset) where each bit represents a
flag, and i would like to
access this set by using names rather than remembering which index in
the array represents which flag.
Similarly, is there any way of getting a C-like enumeration? e.g.
enum days {Mon = 1, Tue, Wed...}
I guess that OCaml does not provide these by default, but I wonder if
someone has done some camlp4 magic
to use these.
Thanks
Raj
