# Bigstringaf

The OCaml compiler has a bunch of intrinsics for Bigstrings, but they're not

widely-known, sometimes misused, and programs that use Bigstrings are slower

than they have to be.  And even if a library got that part right and exposed

the intrinsics properly, the compiler doesn't have any fast blits between

Bigstrings and other string-like types.

So here they are. Go crazy.

[![Build Status](https://github.com/inhabitedtype/bigstringaf/workflows/build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/inhabitedtype/bigstringaf/actions?query=workflow%3A%22build%22)

## Installation

Install the library and its dependencies via [OPAM][opam]:

[opam]: http://opam.ocaml.org/

```bash

opam install bigstringaf

```

## Development

To install development dependencies, pin the package from the root of the

repository:

```bash

opam pin add -n bigstringaf .

opam install --deps-only bigstringaf

```

After this, you may install a development version of the library using the

install command as usual.

For building and running the tests during development, you will need to install

the `alcotest` package:

```bash

opam install alcotest

make test

```
