ocaml's compiler's documentation

Did anyone have a try to build the ocamldoc's documentation for ocaml's compiler?

Reading the source tree recently, I can get the general idea how it works, but it would be great if there's some documentation since I am afraid I may miss something. Either English or French will be ok for me

Many thanks

http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~hongboz/hongbo_zhang_files/typing.docdir/index.html The code is kept, so you can read the source tree of the compiler when you're traveling

The only ocamldoc comments (they start with (** and obey some formatting) I see in the source tree are in ocamlbuild/, ocamldoc/ and stdlib/.

In particuler, no such comments in asmcomp/, asmrun/, bytecomp/, parsing/...

So, depending on which part of the ocaml compiler you're interested in, the ocamldoc documentation might not exist.


This seems interesting: http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/ocaml-internals/ but is intended for beginners, which you probably aren't anymore.
