A description of the Caml Light implementation at a very early stage can be found in the following tech report: Xavier Leroy. "The ZINC experiment, an economical implementation of the ML language". Technical report 117, INRIA, 1990. http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/publi/ZINC.ps.gz Some parts of the report are still relevant seven years later, such as the description of the abstract machine. Other parts are hopelessly out of date. Some info on the garbage collector is also available at http://pauillac.inria.fr/~doligez/caml-light-gc/, in particular an excellent overview written by Peter Sestoft at http://pauillac.inria.fr/~doligez/caml-light-gc/Sestoft94.txt Good luck, - Xavier Leroy
