best way to implement c/c++ FFI for ocaml ?

[b***@aracnet.com]

I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on the best way
to approach writing ffi's to c or c++ code in ocaml.

I looked at the camlidl, but I can't tell if it's more specifically
for windows.

Is the swig implementation for ocaml in useful shape ?

Any other comments or advice ?

thanks

Writing the interface by hand is simple enough. Depends, of course,
on the platform you are using and the nature and extent of the C or
C++ library you want to interface with.
