Hi,
I am currently looking at:
Int32.pack
Int32.unpack
functions.
If I try:
open Batteries_uni
let s = String.create 4
Int32.pack s 0 42_l;
everything seems fine.
However, if I try:
let s = String.create 5
Int32.pack s 0 42_l;
I am getting an exception:
Fatal error: exception Failure("Int32.pack: pos + 4 not within string")
I would like to ask: is this the expected behavior?
Why doesn't /pack/ simply use the first 4 bytes to the string and ignore all the other bytes that may be part of the string?
