Subject: | dynamic loading of Caml bytecode |
I wonder if anyone could elaborate for me on the safety of dynamically loaded Ocaml bytecode? Is it possible to load bytecode that is not well-formed or type-correct (thus resulting in a core-dump or other misbehavior at runtime)? I understand that interfaces are checked for consistency using MD5 hashes, but I'm curious about the internal consistency of the bytecode file itself.
