Re: [Caml-list] Wrapping OCaml function returning a variant

[Joel Reymont <joelr1@gmail.com>]

I came up with this. Is it sound?

char *morph(char *code, char** error, int *line, int *start, int *end)
{
   static value *closure = NULL;
   value v;
   char *res;

   if (closure == NULL)
     closure = caml_named_value("morph");

   v = callback(*closure, caml_copy_string(code));

   switch (Long_val(v)) {
   case 0: /* success */
     res = String_val(Field(v, 0));
     *error = NULL;
   case 1: /* error  */
     res = NULL;
     *error = String_val(Field(v, 0));
     *line = Int_val(Field(v, 1));
     *start = Int_val(Field(v, 2));
     *end = Int_val(Field(v, 3));
   }

   return res;
}

	Thanks, Joel
