Re: [Caml-list] Optimizing Float Ref's
Xavier, Thanks for the comments. I thought that float ref's were unboxed by default! In fact, I find that breaking out the code into a stand- alone example which loops through matrix multiplies only indeed does not have any calls to caml_modify; everything is unboxed and stored on the stack (I'm on x86) as you say. It must be the remainder of my application that is producing the calls to caml_modify (the profile I was using was embedded in a larger application with lots of inlining going on, so maybe something that calls caml_modify is getting inlined around the matrix multiply and confusing the profiler).

Re: [Caml-list] Why don't you use batteries?
Hi, It seems like batteries' adoption isn't quite as thorough as expected. We in the batteries devel team would love to know why you don't use batteries. Here's some of our guesses: Batteries is a great project, and you guys shouldn't feel discouraged if it doesn't take over the world overnight. There's unfamiliarity and inertia to overcome, and that takes time. Personally, I've installed Batteries and played with it, but I'm not using it (yet) on my projects. Going back to your list, here's why: 2) It's not 1.0 yet, I'll try it then That's indeed a factor. 3) It makes my executables too big This used to be a bigger problem. Previous versions of Batteries would pack everything into a module, disabling the linker's ability to link only effectively used code. Thankfully newer versions are going towards a flatter hierarchy. 4) It's too hard to install (dependencies, godi failures) Never ran into this problem. 5) It's difficult to compile against Not an issue. 6) It doesn't work on my platform Not an issue. 7) It uses camlp4 Not an issue for me. There's this thing called a build system that should handle all that transparently, so I couldn't care less if it required carrier pigeons to compile my programs. But yes, I admit it may be an issue for more constrained platforms. 8) Other (please explain) a) Lack of exposure to the advantages of Batteries. It borrows lots of cool ideas from Haskell, but that may not be immediately apparent. You guys should take advantage of the Ocaml Planet to run a publicity campaign: you can make a number of tutorial posts showing the old way versus the Batteries way. There's more to Batteries than just a collection of APIs, and that message may not be getting through. b) I'm already using Extlib extensively, and that reduces the advantage for Batteries.

Re: [Caml-list] Why don't you use batteries?
I have been planning to start using Batteries for several months, but here are some reasons I have not yet: - It did not compile under godi, but I haven't tried in a while. - The migration will require changes across our code base. It's hard to set aside the time for such an undertaking. - Core language features are altered. For example, the Batteries way is to use input's instead of in_channel's. Documentation explaining such changes would help. The API documentation is excellent, but what is missing is a book on An Introduction to OCaml with Batteries. Perhaps a well planned wiki would help get this started. - Some assurance that Batteries really will become the de facto standard would also help. Having said that, I'm switching to Batteries soon.

Re: [Caml-list] Why don't you use batteries?
8) Other (please explain) It's not part of the standard distribution. Using it in an open source project adds a lot of dependencies. I understand that the Batteries team doesn't decide what gets included in OCaml. Still, many projects are very hesitant to add extra dependencies (even if batteries was entirely self-contained). I imagine there are a fair number of people who take parts bits and pieces out of the batteries sources and use those in their projects. Tom Hutchinson ___ Caml-list mailing list.

If I am wrong on these points I would be glad to know it. This is, I think, a common and unfortunate misunderstanding with Batteries. In its current state (and likely in all future iterations), camlp4 extensions/syntax changes are _not_ required to use Batteries with your OCaml code. If you simply link with Batteries (ex. -package batteries using ocamlfind) then there will be no changes to the syntax. There are simple mechanisms to make use of the syntax extensions provided by Batteries, but they are not required for Batteries to work I think it is important for adoption of any new thing to give people a low-cost way to get started, and an incremental path towards using it fully and depending upon it. My impression is that with Batteries you must take or leave the whole thing. A full-featured de facto standard library for OCaml is a great idea, but it must be a *library*; you must be able to use only the parts you want to use. The easiest way to use Batteries is to take or leave the whole thing, but it is not the only way. Hopefully some more documentation, particularly in the form of tutorials for folks new to OCaml as well as Batteries, will help clarify what Batteries _always_ provides and what it _can_ provide when desired.

Re: [Caml-list] Why don't you use batteries?
Hello Erik, 2009/9/4 Erik de Castro Lopo mle+oc...@mega-nerd.com: If batteries is available for 9.10 Batteries is available for 9.10: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=batteries and I like it enough I will probably grab the 9.10 source package and backport it to 6.06 and 8.04 and then push it into our personalised Ubuntu package repository. Here is the official Debian package used in Ubuntu: http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/ocaml-batteries.html Yours, d.

Re: [Caml-list] Documentation to start
Hello, 2009/9/3 vernade vern...@free.fr: I just downloaded ocaml (and caml-light) . I am looking for documentation on pdf or any format that I can easily download , read and print. I need basic information. As you probably speak French, take a look at Le Langage Caml book: http://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/books/llc.pdf It is dedicated to Caml Light but code examples can be adapted fairly easily to OCaml. It is a very good book! Yours, d. ___ Caml-list mailing list.
