]> Hi In his book Paradigms of AI Programming, P. Norvig mentions that Lisp functions with keyword arguments [1] suffer a large degree of overhead and that this may also be true for optional and rest arguments, although to a lesser degree [2], depending on the platform [3]. I'm wondering if the same is true for O'Caml. I'm guessing that it's not, since complete function applications using labels can be transformed into "normal" function calls at compile time. Am I right? Thanks, Oleg [1] Called "arguments with labels" in O'Caml [2] In Lisp, optional arguments do not have labels associated with them [3] Chapter 10.3 ------------------- 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
