Something I've been wanting for a while (And vaguely remember being discussed on the list a while back) is being able to have literal int32 and int64 and nativeint values in source files. For example, I have code that has int32 constants that are too large to fit in a normal caml int, so I'm stuck doing things like let some_value = Int32.of_string "123456789" at the moment, which seems icky. For some reason, I was under the impression that this was going to be in .05. Any chance of it for .06? > - Unix: > use reentrant functions for gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr when available; Nifty. In a vaguely related note, I'm working off and on on adding support for IPv6 sockets to the Unix library. I think I just need to finish the interface code for the C getnameinfo() and getaddrinfo() functions, and do a merge with the 05 code instead of 04. Is there any interest in making this part of a future release? -- Shawn Wagner shawnw@speakeasy.org ------------------- 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
