[Caml-list] <newbie> OCamlIDL?

[Corey O'Connor]

This is probably a stupid question, but were is OCamlIDL and it's
documentation? It sounds like OCamlIDL will generate the ml/mli code and
C stub interfaces for C headers so I don't have to, or do I just have the
wrong idea?

Thanks!

That's almost the idea: it does generate the stub code and ml/mli
interfaces, but from an "IDL description" of the C code to be
interfaced.  The IDL description looks like a C header file with
additional annotations.  Depending on the C code in question, the
annotations can either be straightforward or quite hard to figure out...
