[Caml-list] Custom bytecode

  reach the list ]

Hi,

  I'd like to know whether there are some cases in which ocamlc
  forces executables to be custom ones, even when the -custom
  option is not used.

  Thanks in advance.

Yes. -custom will be automatically assumed if any of the .cma you link
in has itself been built with a -custom option. You can disable this
behaviour with -noautolink.

With dynamic loading, most libraries do not assume -custom any more,
but this can still happen with 3rd party libraries which have not been
converted yet to use ocamlmklib.

This is good to know. Thanks a lot.
