OCaml bindings to the GDAL and OGR Libraries

OCaml GDAL and OGR bindings

This library provides access to the GDAL library (http://www.gdal.org/). It provides both direct, low-level access to GDAL and OGR library functions as well as a higher level, more OCaml-like interface.

The API is viewable here.

Using the bindings

Linking to the underlying GDAL library is performed at runtime. To initialize:

Gdal.Lib.init_dynamic ();

The init_dynamic function takes an optional ~lib argument which may be used to specify the specific shared object to link against. It defaults to libgdal.so.

it would be nice to have a stdlib-like hashtbl interface

Hi Hezekiah,
It would be nice to have a module which can be used as a drop-in replacement
for the stdlib Hashtbl module.
So that users can trivially switch from a small in-memory Hashtbl to a huge
on disk one.
Regards,
F.

super simple key-value store example

Hello,
Is it possible to use your bindings to implement a key-value store?
With both keys and values being strings.
I am looking for a super simple code example.
Thanks!

Field.get_name points to the wrong C symbol

See d91f57a#commitcomment-24695758

Broken on 32-bit systems

... because of this int literal in src/geometry.ml:

let int_of_wkb = function
  (*...*)
  | Point25D -> 0x80000001

Gdal.Driver.get_* may return NULL

A NULL result is not currently handled properly by the bindings. The bindings should either return an option or raise an exception if the driver name/id is invalid.
