[PATCH v2 10/17] tools/ocaml/libs/mmap: allocate correct number of bytes
Posted by Edwin Török 3 years, 6 months ago
OCaml memory allocation functions use words as units,
unless explicitly documented otherwise.
Thus we were allocating more memory than necessary,
caml_alloc should've been called with the parameter '2',
but was called with a lot more.
To account for future changes in the struct keep using sizeof,
but round up and convert to number of words.

For OCaml 1 word = sizeof(value)

The Wsize_bsize macro converts bytes to words.
