Subject: [Caml-list] internal representation of string
Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 09:46:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200208261344.JAA23445@dewberry.cc.columbia.edu> (raw)

Hi

What is the internal representation of string? Is it basically a C-string 
[with or without terminating '\0'] plus integer storing its size? Or is it 
something more sophisticated? Also, do functions like String.sub implement 
copy-on-write mechanism or do they copy when they are called?

TIA
Oleg
