I would like to implement the callbacks in OCaml for obvious reasons. Thanks, Joel --- http://twitter.com/wagerlabs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

All the same as C bindings. But using C++ features one can reduce the amount of boilerplate needed. E.g. see http://ygrek.org.ua/p/code/cxx_wrapped/cxx_wrapped.h for a simple template class to wrap C++ objects as ocaml custom values (bindings to non-trivial C++ lib will probably need wrapping smart_ptr's as well). Also simple tricks like RAII for blocking_section save some typing. But all in all it is the same manual translation. -- ygrek http://ygrek.org.ua ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
