"ocaml_beginners"::[] Where do those .o files come from ?

Hello all,

when I use ocamlopt, it creates not only a *.cm[ix] for each .ml file, but also
a .o for each .ml file (although I do not use C programs at all in my OCaml code).
Is that a normal behaviour ?

Yes. The '*.o' file contains the actual machine code which implements
your functions. The '*.cmx' file just contains some meta-information.
