I'm puzzled by this superb sentence in the refman: "A weak hash table is a hashed set of values. Each value may magically disappear from the set when it is not used by the rest of the program any more."
I have a use case for an hashtable of values who'll needs to get aged and removed after a while, what can I reuse of the standard lib, under which conditions are the values collected by the GC ? my use case would be to first age out when a threshold of number of bindings is reached, also, after some wall time, flush oldest entries (LRU). -- Philippe Strauss http://www.strauss-acoustics.ch/ -- Caml-list mailing list.
