I just noticed that you cannot use your enums as argument or return types of function if you model your IDL-file on the example from the documentation enum e {A=1, B=2, C=4}; you have to use either enum _e {...}; typedef enum _e e; or even better (since it will save a C function call even without a smart optimizer) typedef enum {...} e; to get the full benefit of the translation to a Caml enumerated type. This is of course a ( -- if you think about it long enough -- trivial) consequence of the silly struct and enum syntax of C, but I think that this idiom should probably be mentioned in the documentation. Yours, Florian. ------------------- 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
