Hello,

I have one question :
Is the unicode support of extlib, compatible with camomile ?

Thank you for extlib !

Kind regard

Bonjour Sylvain,

Since that author of Unicode for extlib is the same as camomile ( Yamagata
Yoriyuki ) you should expect that they are compatible, but I'm not sure what
you exactly mean by "compatible" :-) Please have a look at the ocamldoc on
http://ocaml-lib.sf.net

Hello,

Well i maybe mistyped my question ;->

So, the question is : could i have the two libraries ( camomile and
extlib ) at the same time for one app and if i can have it, could i
use the same data structure in the two library ( the second question is
problematic to my mind, because even if they had the same name, the two
data structure could not cooperate... ).

Regard

Both codes are exactly same, so have exactly same interfaces. Since
uchar is an abstract type, you cannot mix both types, that is, you
cannot pass extlib's uchar to camomile's functions and vice verse.  On
the other hand, UTF-8 string is a normal string.  So you can pass them
around.

In future, when extlib is widespread, I may deprecate uchar and utf8
of camomile, and make camomile an extension of unicode facilities of
extlib.

It IS the camomile code :-)
