[Caml-list] Calling C++ from OCaml

[Jean Yang]

Hello,

I've been trying to call C++ from OCaml by using OCaml's external C
interface to call C functions that call the mangled-name version of the C++
functions. I've been running into trouble because I'm not sure how to
specify the C++ object files to link against with ocamlc. (I'm not sure how
to do it using ocaml-make.) Can anyone help?

Also, is this the best way to call from OCaml to C++?

Thanks,
Jean

I am not sure what is the best way to call C++ code from OCaml.
However, we successfully interfaced the Parma Polyhedra Library
core, which is written in C++, to OCaml. You can fetch a source
distribution from http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/ and look into the
interfaces/OCaml directory.
Hope it helps,

Roberto
