Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-caml-list@pauillac.inria.fr Precedence: bulk Why does ocamlc load dlls during linking? From reading bytecomp/bytelink.ml it doesn't seem like it does much with the information except for getting paths (which you could do without loading the dll), yet this is a big problem for a) dlls that aren't in the path during build, and b) dlls that do complex stuff in their dllmain. Am I missing something and this is really necessary? ocamlopt doesn't do it, for what it's worth.
