Subject: Re: [Caml-list] C Interface question about failwith

Hello,

I guess you could apply the generic mechanism described in the user manual:

http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/manual033.html
19.7.3  Registering OCaml exceptions for use in C functions

Maybe Failure is already registered for callback but I don't know…

Cheers,
