[Ocaml-lib-devel] Recent Subjects

[Nicolas C. <nca...@mo...>]

Hi list,

I don't use anymore my old mail account so I just resubscribed and 
catchingup with recent threads.

- ExtArray is cool, although ExtLib is trying to "promote" DynArray has 
being more convenient.

- Unzip is implementing the "Inflate" algorithm used by ZLib. They would 
be additional work for supporting the Zip file Format which store 
several files by using this compression algorithm with an index. If 
implemented I'm pretty sure it could be added to the Unzip module.

- I'm interested in a patch for the IO.pipe problem

- The Int32.float_of_bits was only added 3.08 I think so that's why it 
was not part of IO module. Maybe that now a lot of people moved away 
from 3.07 it would be nice to have it (?)

BTW, I'm using ExtLib intensively is several big projects such as the 
MTASC compiler (http://mtasc.org) and the haXe compiler 
(http://haxe.org). The NekoML language (http://nekovm.org) also have its 
standard library designed based on ExtLib experience.

Best,

Nicolas
