Subject: [Caml-list] Differences between Array and Strings
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 13:51:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <sympa.1304077303.17524.902@inria.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 

Hi, I'am failing to understand the behavior of the code below. Why the string
is not regenerated ? Why strings and array have not the same behavior ?

> let l () = "1" ;;
> (l ()).[0] <- '2';;
> l ();;
> l()==l();;

> let l () = [|1|] ;;
> (l ()).(0) <- 2;;
> l ();;
> l() == l() ;;

# val l : unit -> string = <fun>
# - : unit = ()
# - : string = "2"
# - : bool = true
#   val l : unit -> int array = <fun>
# - : unit = ()
# - : int array = [|1|]
# - : bool = false
