[Caml-list] Unix.truncate for Windows

[Caml-list] Unix.truncate for Windows

[Florent Monnier]

Hi,

I wrote some stub code for the function Unix.truncate for Windows:

https://github.com/fccm/ocaml_unix_truncate_win32

I mainly found the code from Rosettacode:
https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Truncate_a_file#Windows

Now I would like to know if the upstream would be interested to get
this code included?
If yes, what's next? should I try to make the change to ocaml's git (I
would need some help then) or some upstream developer will do the job?

Regards
Florent Monnier

Dear Florent,

Yes, it would be a nice to fill out the Windows implementation of Unix.truncate!

Best would be if you could open a PR to the official OCaml repository at

  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml

General guidelines about the procedure are available at:

  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/trunk/CONTRIBUTING.md

If you need any help with the mechanics of this or modifying the
compiler source code, I will be happy to lend you a hand, just let me
know.

Best wishes,
Nicolás
