Subject: How to call OCaml from C++
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:11:55 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9dfe358d1002221911x27e70e1h7c1521b38184e372@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Does anyone call OCaml code from C++?
C can call OCaml with the OCaml foreign interfaces.
But when we call OCaml from C++, we need to consider ‘extern C'
stuff, like what we do when call C from C++, because the bridge
functions between C and OCaml are written in C.

However, those functions have not been prefixed with 'extern C',
and some functions, such as caml_alloc_dummy in libasmrun, have not
been exposed
in a head file. So it is hard to define a wrapper to let it work in C++.
When linking C++ and libasmrun, caml_alloc_dummy cannot
be found by the linker.

Does anyone happen to know how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot.
Jianzhou
