Bug#600408: ocaml: Building OCaml with LOCAL_CALLBACK_BYTECODE enabled
Package: ocaml
Version: 3.12.0-1~38
Severity: normal
I'm currently having issues with C++ callbacks to OCaml, and digging into
the callbacks.c file, I discovered that OCaml in Debian is not built
with the LOCAL_CALLBACK_BYTECODE macro enabled.
It seems to me that the current situation might be a can of worms and
segfaults, and I'm wondering whether it would not be a good idea to
build OCaml with LOCAL_CALLBACK_BYTECODE enabled.
