OCaml 32bits longval

---

You will need OCaml 3.11.2 installed on a i686 linux computer. The archive contains:

• libcamlrun-linux-i686.a
• ocamlrun-linux-i686
• Makefile
• README

The Makefile has two targets:

• sudo make install will save /usr/bin/ocamlrun and /usr/lib/ocaml/libcamlrun.a in the current directory and replace them with the longval binaries.
• sudo make restore will restore the saved files.

If your install directories are not the default ones, you should modify the Makefile. After installing, you can test it with the standard OCaml top-level:

Objective Caml version 3.11.2

# let s = ref “”;;
val s : string ref = {contents = “”}

# s := String.create 20_000_000;;
– : unit = ()

Now you can enjoy big values in all your strings and arrays in bytecode. You will need to relink all your custom binaries. If you are interested in the native version of the longval compiler, you can contact us.

About OCamlPro:

OCamlPro is a R&D lab founded in 2011, with the mission to help industrial users benefit from experts with a state-of-the-art knowledge of programming languages theory and practice.

• We provide audit, support, custom developer tools and training for both the most modern languages, such as Rust, Wasm and OCaml, and for legacy languages, such as COBOL or even home-made domain-specific languages;
• We design, create and implement software with great added-value for our clients. High complexity is not a problem for our PhD-level experts. For example, we helped the French Income Tax Administration re-adapt and improve their internally kept M language, we designed a DSL to model and express revenue streams in the Cinema Industry, codename Niagara, and we also developed the prototype of the Tezos proof-of-stake blockchain from 2014 to 2018.
• We have a long history of creating open-source projects, such as the Opam package manager, the LearnOCaml web platform, and contributing to other ones, such as the Flambda optimizing compiler, or the GnuCOBOL compiler.
• We are also experts of Formal Methods, developing tools such as our SMT Solver Alt-Ergo (check our Alt-Ergo Users' Club) and using them to prove safety or security properties of programs.

Please reach out, we'll be delighted to discuss your challenges: contact@ocamlpro.com or book a quick discussion.
