[Caml-list] cmx files installed

[Michal Moskal]

Is there any reason, that `make install' copies .cmx files, that are
present in .cmxa archives anyway?

.ml files are copied for easier debugging and .mli for documentation, am
I right?

.cmx'es contain small functions to be inlined, plus some internal
information that makes direct calls from module to module, otherwise
auxiliary(and uneeded) closures will be created resulting in indirect
calls - read SLOW.
