Hi, folks. I have a question about Stream.from. If I create a stream by Stream.from f by some function f, in what order f is called? I mean, is it guaranteed that f is always called as f 1, f 2, f 3, ....? or is the order like f 1, f 3, f 5, f 7, f 2, f 4, .... possible? The manual states nothing, so maybe I have to assume there is no guarantee. But then using a function with side effects is nearly impossible, which is unfortunate. I tried to understand the source, but it is full of magic and anyways, the source does not make any guarantee for the future. -- Yamagata Yoriyuki http://www.mars.sphere.ne.jp/yoriyuki/ ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
