There is at least one source of nondeterminism in the compiler: the generation of temporary file names. And it can be influenced by the contents of the /tmp directory, especially when a previous compiler run has crashed and left its temporary files there... There may be other sources of nondeterminism, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. > gc? No, the GC is completely deterministic (thank God). -- Damien ------------------- 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
