Hi list,

I stumbled on the following error message, which was quite obscure to me.

Error while loading "foo.cma": foo.cma is not a bytecode object file.

I finally discovered that the foo.cma file had been compiled some time
ago, when I was still using an earlier version of ocamlc (3.10.2 vs
3.11.1). I wonder if there is any piece of meta-information embedded
in the compiled files (*.cm*), that would allow to inform at once the
user that he/she mix things (something like hash/magic-numbers à la
Coq).

With best regards ,
Thomas Braibant
