Subject: [Caml-list] empty mli for executable
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2013 12:50:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKR7PS_7qKvQUx1tm2DaSJWZG-viDhfbdRLTrYB1yxE=Vq6Upw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

ocaml compiler executables have empty mlis with the following comment
(*
  this "empty" file is here to speed up garbage collection in ocamlopt.opt
*)

Can someone explain this in more detail?
How does empty interface lead to faster gc-ing?

Thanks,
     Milan
