Subject: RE: [Caml-list] How to handle system decencies in Ocaml (like O_ASYNC not implemented in cygwin)

Dear Jérôme,

the issue is that the O_ASYNC flag isn't even defined in the Cygwin headers, so I can't simply pass an unsupported flag and wait for open to flag it. I could invent a value for the flag, but I am not sure if this is a good idea. So I thought the cleanest way is to raise an exception in the function which returns the value of the flag.

Best regards,

Michael
