The reason is that mapping C functions pointers to Caml functions is easy, but mapping Caml function closures to C functions is nearly impossible (there is nowhere to store and pass the environment part of the closure). However, CamlIDL support COM interfaces, which are basically a subset of C++ classes. These support two-way conversions between OCaml objects (i.e. more or less collections of Caml functions) and COM objects (i.e. more or less collections of C function pointers + instance variables). - Xavier Leroy ------------------- 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
