We have considered the Checksum_registry module approach, but it hardly
scales if you consider that a large portion of any project is composed
of third-party libraries. What if the user of my network protocol
intends to marshal PXP trees? I somehow need to fetch the checksums of
the PXP modules defining the the relevant type. This is the reason for
looking for a solution which integrates with the virtual machine (* i.e.
the abstract machine executing the Ocaml program *). However, you are
telling me that on this point, the bytecode VM and the native code VM
implement two different abstractions.
Apparently, what we'll need to do is to better integrate the present md5
digest generation phase with the build process, until our caml breeders
will give us type safe marshalling.
