Questions: - Is there any benchmark available ? What is the overhead when dealing with "small" integers ? - How does the library compare with other large/rational numbers implementations ? - The manual mentions two special elements 1/0 and 0/0; it seems that -1/0 is also available. Is it a bug in the manual or the implementation ? -- Alain ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
