Subject: [Caml-list] internal representation of string 
Hi

What is the internal representation of string? Is it basically a C-string 
[with or without terminating '\0'] plus integer storing its size? Or is it 
something more sophisticated? Also, do functions like String.sub implement 
copy-on-write mechanism or do they copy when they are called?

TIA
Oleg
