09:21 <Dieb> lo all

09:25 <Dieb> let d=[|"A";"B";"C"|];; let main() = d.(2) <- "F";; will produce - : string vect = [|"A"; "B"; "F"|] => good! However, type en = {name:string; lst: string list; val: int};; let c= [|{name="A"; lst = ["B"; "C"]; val = 2};{name="B"; lst =["F"];val=3}|];; let main() = c.(0).val <- 0;; will produce : "L'étiquette val n'est pas mutable. " Why?

10:56 <Dieb> anybody could tell me how to store a new value in a type? for exemple " a : lst = {name = "E"; lst = ["f"; "l"]; val = 5}" to store 4 in the val field of a ?

11:00 <Demitar> Is the val field mutable_

11:01 <Demitar> If so then simply do: a.val <- 3;;

11:01 <Dieb> well, no it isn't. And i don't know how to declare a field mutable

11:02 <Demitar> Do it in the type definition, change 'val : int' to 'mutable val : int', or do the entire operation in a functional way, ie copy the whole object.

11:03 <Demitar> Look at section 1.4 and 1.5 http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/htmlman/manual003.html

11:03 <Dieb> ok for the first solution. But i don't see what you mean with the second

11:03 <Dieb> ok thx for url, i will take a look

11:29 <Demitar> Hello gl.

11:29 <gl> hi demitar

14:59 <Demitar> Is there a way to access htonl or equivalent from ocaml?

16:27 <Demitar> How would I turn a nativeint into a string, array of chars or whatever? (Want to append it to a buffer.)

19:06 <}Topaz{> Has anybody successfully compiled OCamlSDL as a native windoze binary?

19:06 <}Topaz{> My attempts fail on it being unable to find the 'local_roots' external

22:08 <smkl> try adding -custom if you are using bytecode

22:29 <Demitar> Is there a nice way to build a list in a for loop?

22:30 <smkl> nope

22:31 <Demitar> Perhaps I should pass the number in recursively then...

22:31 <Demitar> That would probably use even more space though (it's a one line builder).

22:33 <Demitar> Or I choose the nasty path and builds a list of the numbers...

22:35 <Demitar> Otoh it probably is cleanest to build an array...
