I have added some code for Qeditas to call qednet for things. Things are looking good so far.
One thing, though. I looked at the "frame" used to create the initial distribution ctree (in qeditasinit.ml in the initdistr branch):
let fr10 = flevs 8 FAll;;
let fr2pk = flevs 8 fr10;;
let fr2s = flevs 8 fr10;;
let fr0 = FAbbrev(FBin(FBin(FAbbrev(fr2pk),FAbbrev(fr2s)),FAll));;
I wanted to save this frame in the database and potentially share it with peers, but the serialization of it was surprisingly large (over 100K). Looking closer it was clear this could be improved by using sharing. I changed the serialization code (seo_frame and sei_frame) to check if the two children of a binary FBin node are equal and treat this separately from the "real" binary case. This made the serialization of the frame above only 9 bytes(!).
Here's the modified serialization code:
https://github.com/trentrussell/qeditas/blob/trdev/src/ctre.ml#L706I tried to do things the same was as was described in the Serialization chapter of:
http://qeditas.org/qeditastechdoc.pdfThis change makes sense, and your code conforms to the style of the other serialization code. One issue worth noting is that two different serializations can deserialize to the same frame (one using sharing and one not), but this shouldn't be a problem.
I still haven't yet looked at the C++ qednet code, but hope to do so soon. Thank you for your efforts.
