OCaml Bytecode Portability

Question

I compile the OCaml program in bytecode on the x86 machine and pass the bytecode to the ppc64 machine. Assuming the ppc64 machine has ocamlrun (compiled for ppc64), can I run my program on ppc64 architecture? It's simple?

In other words, is the bytecode content resistant?

If not, what is the purpose of the bytecode?

Answer 1

I assume that you do not need any external function; otherwise, of course, you need binary code.

Yes, the bytecode is resistant to content (and word size) for systems supported by Ocaml.
