Hi,

In ocaml, the max length of array is determined by the predefined constant
max_array_length. Is it possible to build an array with length
longer than this? I noticed that this constant is defined in source code sys.ml by:

let max_array_length = (1 lsl (word_size - 10)) - 1;;

Is it safe to modify this code to set a bigger value for max_array_length?

Thank you in advance for any help on this point.
