Dear all,
Among Caml header files is one called compatibility.h.
This file defines macros allowing one to use, say, copy_string rather
than caml_copy_string when writing stub functions.
But what is the recommended style for writing stubs ?
Should the caml_ prefix be used, or not ?
The documentation does not seem to mention anything about that.
Thanks,
Sébastien.

The "caml_" prefix was added in 3.08.0 to avoid name conflicts when
linking with other libraries. I believe the relevant entries in
compatibility.h are there so the Caml developers were not forced to
edit all of the sources... but you should use the new "official"
naming in code you write that needs to reference the affected C
globals. :)
