Severity: feature
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

Full_Name: Eijiro Sumii
Version: 3.09.0
OS: Windows XP Professional
Submission from: ayuko.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp (130.158.77.188)

ocamlwinplus (both 1.9RC4 and 1.9RC5) is just too buggy:

  • It misreads almost anything from stdin (by read_line and such).

  • When I copy-and-paste almost anything with more than 1 lines,
    ocamlwinplus reads only part of it.

  • It often crashes suddenly and arbitrarily. I can't even get this
    problem reproduced...

On the other hand, the interactive session of camlbrowser seems to
work much better. So, why not replace the former with the latter
(or something similar)?

Of course, we can avoid using ocamlwinplus at all, but far too many
beginners (such as new students) are caught by its problems.

OCamlWin has been without a maintainer for several years and was just split off the main OCaml distribution. The OCamlWin sources now live at
https://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/ocamltopwin/
Further bug reports and (even better!) proposed patches should be submitted on this site.
