Subject: | Re: [Caml-list] about Obj.magic |
An 'almost legal' use of Obj.magic is to populate an array with dummy values. For example: class Deep .. let a = Array.make 100 (Obj.magic 0 :> Deep) in let len_a = ref 0 in This is roughly as safe as an unsafe array access, only now the array length is a variable. -- John Max Skaller, mailto:skaller@ozemail.com.au snail:10/1 Toxteth Rd, Glebe, NSW 2037, Australia. voice:61-2-9660-0850 ------------------- 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
