ANNOUNCE: OCaml CSV (comma-separated values) mini-library 1.0.3

[Richard Jones]

I'm pleased to announce version 1.0.3 of the mini-library for handling
CSV files in OCaml.  This library is released under LGPL with the
OCaml linking exception.

http://merjis.com/developers/csv

This version comes with a handy command line tool called 'csvtool' for
processing CSV files from shell scripts.

Rich.

JIT ?

[Christopher Alexander Stein]

Can the ocamlrun bytecode interpreter do just-in-time compilation
or is ocamlopt the way to go for performance instead of ocamlc?

Thanks

Lex

ocamlopt is the way to go for performance.

ocaml JIT compiles to bytecode which is then interpreted. ocamlc compiled to 
bytecode which is interpreted. ocamlopt compiles straight to native code and 
typically produces programs which are several times faster.

Basile Starynkevitch wrote a real JIT compiler for OCaml (compiling to native 
code on-the-fly) called ocamljit:

Ocamlrun is a pure interpreter (but a relatively fast one). There is
(was ?) a JIT interpreter for ocaml (at least in my memory i have
heard something about it) but the common way to go for performance is
indeed ocamlopt.

See http://cristal.inria.fr/~starynke/ocamljit.html for ocamljitrun.
