Subject: Saving the OCaml interpreter state
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 15:08:21 -0700 [thread overview]

I think I asked roughly this question several years ago, but I would
appreciate
a reminder.
In several read-eval-print loops for functional languages (e.g. Poly,
SML/NJ,
various LISPs), it's possible to save and restore the current state so
you can
start up again in an environment with all the same objects and name
bindings
present. OCaml does not currently allow this. How hard would it be to
modify
OCaml to support save/restore of sessions? At the moment I'm forced into
OS-specific checkpointing of processes.
John.
