Subject: | [Caml-list] Long constant strings? |
I want to create a long, constant string- by long I mean 64K characters (it's basically an 8-bit lookup table). Needless to say, I don't a 64K long line (256K actually, as every character is of the \xxx, where x is digits). So currently I'm building the string up as the concatentation of 4K 16-character strings (each 16-character string fits nicely on a line). But looking at the assembly code output of this, I notice that it's concatenating the strings at run time. Am I missing some nice way of doing this? If not, is there any chance that a future rev of the compiler will recognize this idiom and concatenate the strings at compile time? -- "Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea -- massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it." - Gene Spafford Brian ------------------- 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
