Hello, caml-list.

  Some time ago there was a discussion about measuring
sizes of ocaml values.  I've got some "round tuits" and
released a library that I use in my programs for some
years.  Maybe it will be useful for other people too.
  It is better than pure ocaml solutions because it
doesn't build hash table of visited values, and it uses
two bits for each visited value in worst case (but in my
practice it used no more than 120kb of additional memory
when I measured sizes of 300Mb-values).

This doesn't seem to work on 64-bit. First I get:

configure.c:24: warning: format ‘%i’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 2 has 
type ‘long unsigned int’
...

Replacing %i with %ld in configure.c, this compiles but then I get:

$ make
gcc -ansi -W -Wall -Werror -Wno-long-long -pedantic \
            -c configure.c -o configure.o
gcc configure.o -o configure.exe  && \
        rm -f configure.o
./configure.exe > ocamlsrc/config/m.h  && \
        rm -f configure.exe

  Thanks for testing, now it works on your platform too.
