So, why do you mention C? Well C/C++ code suffers from several classes of error which don't affect other languages, and this is what makes static linking particularly undesirable for C libraries. The other reason for avoiding static linking -- avoiding duplication of code -- happens anyway in C libraries (think: headers/inlining), and even more so in the OCaml compiler which does cross-module inlining when possible. Anyway, see my other reply for more details about what OCaml is doing. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
