I'm no expert on Caml, so maybe the wizards have done something clever, but interfacing other languages to C++ is normally best done by writing an adaptor in C++ that provides a pure C interface to the C++ code (usable by C code, compiled by a C compiler, not C++), and then call *that* from your favourite language. -- Bruce ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr.
