Subject: [Caml-list]  How much optimized is the 'a option type ?
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 08:35:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <523666417617602473@orange.fr> (raw)

Hello,

Compared to the code :

type 'a option = None | Some of 'a

How do an 'a option value performs ?
Any allocation saved ?
Any indirection removed ?

Is 'a option just like any sum type ?
Or is 'a option more like an ANSI C pointer type ?

Regards,

Damien Guichard
