There is no callcc in Ocaml. You may have used this feature with other
implementations of ML, say SML-NJ. The implementation technology
of the latter is based on continuations, which makes callcc
easily available. Ocaml implementation is not based on continuations,
but on stacks: it proved to be fairly more efficient, but 
you lose callcc.

Hi,

I am relearning Ocaml. I thought something as "call with current
continuation" was implemented. But a search for it in the reference manual
didn't give anything.

O'Caml doesn't support call/cc.  Scheme (my favourite
impl is: http://www.plt-scheme.org/) and SML/NJ do.
