== Overview

OCaml is an implementation of the ML language, based on the Caml Light dialect extended with a complete class-based object system and a powerful module system in the style of Standard ML.

OCaml comprises two compilers. One generates bytecode which is then interpreted by a C program. This compiler runs quickly, generates compact code with moderate memory requirements, and is portable to essentially any 32 or 64 bit Unix platform. Performance of generated programs is quite good for a bytecoded implementation. This compiler can be used either as a standalone, batch-oriented compiler that produces standalone programs, or as an interactive, toplevel-based system.

The other compiler generates high-performance native code for a number of processors. Compilation takes longer and generates bigger code, but the generated programs deliver excellent performance, while retaining the moderate memory requirements of the bytecode compiler. The native-code compiler currently runs on the following platforms:

|==== | | Tier 1 (actively maintained) | Tier 2 (maintained when possible)

| x86 64 bits | Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD | NetBSD, OpenBSD | x86 32 bits | Linux, Windows | FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD | ARM 64 bits | Linux | FreeBSD | ARM 32 bits | Linux | FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD | Power 64 bits | Linux | | Power 32 bits | | Linux | RISC-V 64 bits | Linux | | IBM Z (s390x) | Linux | |====

Other operating systems for the processors above have not been tested, but the compiler may work under other operating systems with little work.

== Keeping in Touch with the Caml Community

The OCaml mailing list is the longest-running forum for OCaml users. You can email it at

caml-list@inria.fr[]

You can subscribe and access list archives via the Web interface at

https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/subscribe/caml-list

An alternative archive of the mailing list is also available at

https://inbox.ocaml.org/

You can also access a newer discussion forum at

https://discuss.ocaml.org/

There also exist other mailing lists, chat channels, and various other forums around the internet for getting in touch with the OCaml and ML family language community. These can be accessed at

https://ocaml.org/community/

In particular, the IRC channel #ocaml on https://freenode.net/[Freenode] has a long history and welcomes questions.

== Bug Reports and User Feedback

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues

To be effective, bug reports should include a complete program (preferably small) that exhibits the unexpected behavior, and the configuration you are using (machine type, etc).
