From the top of my head:
module M = struct
type t
external foo : t -> unit = "caml_mine_M_foo"
end
class M {
void foo(void) { }
};
value caml_mine_M_foo(value ml_m) {
CAMLparam1(ml_m);
M *m = (M*)ml_m;
m->foo();
CAMLreturn Val_unit;
}
Wouldn't that do?
It gets harder with inheritance, when you have modules A, B, C for the
different classes and want to be able to pass a C.t to a function
expecting a B.t. You will need to declare a C.as_b function and such.
