# Bigstringaf
|
|
|
|
The OCaml compiler has a bunch of intrinsics for Bigstrings, but they're not
|
|
widely-known, sometimes misused, and programs that use Bigstrings are slower
|
|
than they have to be. And even if a library got that part right and exposed
|
|
the intrinsics properly, the compiler doesn't have any fast blits between
|
|
Bigstrings and other string-like types.
|
|
|
|
So here they are. Go crazy.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
Install the library and its dependencies via [OPAM][opam]:
|
|
|
|
[opam]: http://opam.ocaml.org/
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
opam install bigstringaf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
To install development dependencies, pin the package from the root of the
|
|
repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
opam pin add -n bigstringaf .
|
|
opam install --deps-only bigstringaf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After this, you may install a development version of the library using the
|
|
install command as usual.
|
|
|
|
For building and running the tests during development, you will need to install
|
|
the `alcotest` package:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
opam install alcotest
|
|
make test
|
|
```
