3//! # `CAMLParam` Macros
4//! The following macros are used to declare C local variables and
5//! function parameters of type `value`.
6//!
7//! The function body must start with one of the `CAMLparam` macros.
8//! If the function has no parameter of type `value], use [CAMLparam0`.
9//! If the function has 1 to 5 `value` parameters, use the corresponding
10//!
11//! `CAMLparam` with the parameters as arguments.
12//! If the function has more than 5 `value] parameters, use [CAMLparam5`
13//! for the first 5 parameters, and one or more calls to the `CAMLxparam`
14//! macros for the others.
15//!
16//! If the function takes an array of `value`s as argument, use
17//! `CAMLparamN] to declare it (or [CAMLxparamN` if you already have a
18//! call to `CAMLparam` for some other arguments).
19//!
20//! If you need local variables of type `value`, declare them with one
21//! or more calls to the `CAMLlocal` macros at the beginning of the
22//! function, after the call to CAMLparam. Use `CAMLlocalN` (at the
23//! beginning of the function) to declare an array of `value`s.
24//!
25//! Your function may raise an exception or return a `value` with the
26//! `CAMLreturn] macro. Its argument is simply the [value` returned by
27//! your function. Do NOT directly return a `value] with the [return`
28//! keyword. If your function returns void, use `CAMLreturn0`.
29//!
30//! All the identifiers beginning with "caml__" are reserved by OCaml.
31//! Do not use them for anything (local or global variables, struct or
32//! union tags, macros, etc.)
