The OCaml Journal article "Calling C code from OCaml" (10th July 2008) described an OCaml program that invoked a C function both via a stub written in C and via JIT compiled interface code using LLVM (no more stinking C stubs!). I would like to write more on JIT-compiled interface code in the future and perhaps write a library to make it easy. > My goal is to compile an AST into code that uses OCaml functions within the > same binary that's doing the compiling. > > I don't think it can be done with OCaml since it requires a standalone > assembler, linker, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Sounds like you really want HLVM. :-) > Thanks and Happy New Year, Joel Happy New Year! -- Dr Jon Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/?e _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
