[Ocaml-lib-devel] Problems with ocaml 3.08

[Jere S. <xm...@xm...>]

Hi,

since 3.08 is now officially released, I think extlib should support it as
well. I use the MS windows port of ocaml and when using DynArray I get the
following linking errors:

extlib.lib(dynArray.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_obj_block
extlib.lib(dynArray.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_obj_dup

.. coming from these two lines in dynArray.ml:
--
external idup : 'a intern -> 'a intern = "obj_dup"
external imake : int -> int -> 'a intern = "obj_block"
--
And when I changed them to:
--
external idup : 'a intern -> 'a intern = "caml_obj_dup"
external imake : int -> int -> 'a intern = "caml_obj_block"
--
everything started to work again..

I have no idea how to make extlib to work with both 3.07 and 3.08 at the
same time. Also haven't checked whether other parts of extlib use similar
tricks.
