I'm wrapping a C++ library in ocaml bindings. Originally I wrote an in-C++ object pool handler returning integer handles, and wrapped the constructor, destructor, and the main compute function in my lmclient.ml file as create, destroy, and compute functions, then declared in OCaml as external create : string -> int -> int = "lmclient_create" external destroy : int -> int = "lmclient_destroy" external compute : int -> string -> string = "lmclient_compute" I can call them as Lmclient.create, etc. The create returns an integer handle which is then used by others to compute and destroy the corresponding C++ object inside my pool manager. Now I want to avoid the explicit destroy, and want to add more methods, so I'd like to wrap these three and more into an OCaml object. How do I glue the external definitions to object methods? Apparently method external or external method doesn't parse... Cheers, Alexy
