Hello,
when compiling ocaml to bytecode with the -output-obj flag, a c file is created containing essentially the produced bytecode in a c array, which will be fed to caml via caml-startup functions.

This doesn't relate to generating C source with a translation for your functional code in Ocaml.

I don't have any knowledge of a tool that covers your need, but i am not an expert on these issues.

Sincerely,

Rabih Chaar

Subject	[Caml-list] Compiling Ocaml sources to c sources

Hello,

We are currently planing to participate to a programming contest. This contest allows the use of four languages (C/C#/C++/java) but not OCaml.

We would like to use Ocaml as it is to us the language that fits the most the kind of exercises proposed. The organizers don't mind if we use OCaml as long as we provide an easily compilable C source to them, even if it is not readable.

Is there any platform independent way to compile OCaml sources to C sources? And if not, do you have any pointer (we gave a try at compiling OCaml sources to C object files using the -output-obj option but couldn't compile then the resulting file with our C compiler)?

Best,
