OCaml French Law Library
This folder contains a ready-to-use OCaml library featuring French public algorithms coded up in Catala.
Organization
Law source
The law_source folder contains the files generated by the Catala compiler.
These files are generated using the following rule from the top-level Makefile
of this repository:
make generate_french_law_library_ocaml
They can be compiled using
make build_french_law_library_ocaml
In particular, law_source/unit_tests/run_tests.ml provides an executable
that runs the unit tests coming from the source Catala examples, and that can
be launched with
make run_french_law_library_ocaml_tests
The law_source files rely on the Catala OCaml runtime, located in
runtimes/ocaml/runtime.{ml, mli}. This runtime defines the types of the values
manipulated by the Catala programs in OCaml and the operations available for them.
Wrappers
Then, the api.{ml, mli} module provides a wrapper around the functions
exported in law_source. These wrappers mostly convert back and forth between
idiomatic OCaml types and the types expected by the Catala programs in OCaml.
api_web.ml is used for the JS library (see the dedicated README).
Finally, bench.ml provides a simple benchmarking executable that runs the
computations of each algorithm a bunch of times with random inputs. You can run it
from the root of this repository with
make run_french_law_library_benchmark_ocaml
