Re: [Caml-list] The Bytecode Interpreter...

[Jonathan Roewen <jonathan.roewen@gmail.com>]

Hmm,

It might not be the interpreter afterall, or at least I'm ending up
with some very volatile machine code =/

Adding a printf() and a clear_screen() just before "res =
caml_interprete(caml_start_code, code_size);"
startup.c/caml_startup_code, and the problematic code runs fine...

So, not sure where the fault lies on this one... =/
