Subject: invoke function from its name as string
Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 12:07:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d6c7b34d0803122107i392eabc6rea0570d8c4f05452@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

First, hello everyone as it is my first message to this list ;)

I'm trying to solve this problem:
I have a module name and function name in string variables,
and I would like to call this function, like :
let mod = "MyMod" in
let fn = "my_fun" in
what_come_here mod fn

Can this problem be solved?
Was thinking that camlp4 could help ... not sure as it change the
syntax tree but I don't see how to get access to module name 'mod'.

Any pointer are greatly appreciated :)
thanks
