Subject: [Caml-list] Ouch - when bytecode and native behave differently
Date: 02 Oct 2002 07:55:54 -0700

I just encountered a situation where the bytecode and native versions
of a program behave differently.  It turns out that out of bounds
array accesses return a different message:

  Invalid_argument "Array.get"

vs.

  Invalid_argument "out-of-bound array or string access"

I was catching the former but not the latter.  I don't know if I'm
making a mistake by paying attention to the message or if this is a
problem or issue in the standard libs, but I thought I'd point it out.
Thanks,

-david
