Instead of hard-wiring the current year in macros.hva,
use Hevea's `year` counter, as set by `xxdate.exe`.
Hevea treats `year` as a LaTeX counter, to be used as `\arabic{year}`.
pdflatex treats `\year` as a plain TeX counter, to be used as `\number\year`.
A macro definition is needed to hide the difference. I went for the minimal
change.
Introduce caml_process_pending_actions and
caml_process_pending_actions_exn: a variant of the former which does
not raise but returns a value that has to be checked against
Is_exception_value.
I keep the current conventions from caml_callback{,_exn}: For a
resource-safe interface, we mostly care about the _exn variants, but
every time there is a public _exn function I provide a function that
raises directly for convenience.
They are introduced and documented in caml/signals.h.
Private functions are converted to their _exn variant on the way as
needed: for internal functions of the runtime, it is desirable to go
towards a complete elimination of functions that raise implicitly.
Get rid of the distant logic of caml_raise_in_async_callback. Instead,
caml_process_pending_events takes care itself of its something_to_do
"resource". This avoids calling the former function in places
unrelated to asynchronous callbacks.
This option allows to build self-contained bytecode executable and is aimed to replace `-custom`. The main difference between the two is that executables produced by `-output-compete-exe` can be stripped.
This commit adds dynlink support for ocamldebug. As a side effect, it also:
- factorizes the various functions searching for a code fragment into one,
called [caml_find_code_fragment];
- removes the [caml_register_code_fragment], which does not seem to
be used anywhere, and which clearly should not be used by external code.
The Graphics library is now distributed as a separate package.

This commit removes support for gprof-based profiling (the -p option to ocamlopt). It follows a discussion on the core developers' list, which indicated that removing gprof support was a reasonable thing to do. The rationale is that there are better easy-to-use profilers out there now, such as perf for Linux and Instruments on macOS; and the gprof support has always been patchy across targets. We save a whole build of the runtime and simplify some other parts of the codebase by removing it.
After consultation on the core developers' list I am proposing this patch to remove support for compiler plugins.
The main motivations for removing compiler plugins are:
- They are a potential security risk.
- They increase the complexity of the build system and make maintenance of the Dynlink libraries more difficult (although actually, this complexity could probably be reduced after #2268 is merged).
- Many applications of plugins should be able to be expressed by building custom compiler drivers that link against compilerlibs.
* Remove compiler plugins and hooks
* Add new function Dynlink.unsafe_get_global_symbol but keep it outside the documented API.
* Remove otherlibs/dynlink/nodynlink.ml
* Update Changes
* Creating a new section in the first chapter of the manual
* Add an introduction of custom printer for int
* Add an easy example of %a combinator
* Add an example of using the printf function on complex data structure
* Delete the deprecated vmthreads library
It was deprecated in 4.08.
* Remove the byte/native argument of init_path
It is no longer necessary.
* Error out when passing --{enable,disable}-vmthreads to ./configure
