* Fix#9759: Typing without -principal is broken in 4.11 and trunk
* compile stdlib in -principal mode
* never modify generic part of ty_expected_explained
* use generic_instance where possible
* add comment for -no-principal in stdlib__oo.cmi
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.
- inline Pervasives in Stdlib and re-add Pervasives as a deprecated
module that aliases all elements of Stdlib except the stdlib modules.
- remove special case for Stdlib.Pervasives in printtyp.ml
When AFL instrumentation is enabled, the inlining of Lazy.force
is disabled, so that the GC optimisation of removing Forward_tag
blocks is no longer visible in the instrumentation output.
awk is symbolic link in Cygwin, which means it can't be used in -pp for
a native Windows build. Just use gawk instead, as no other package
provides the awk command on Cygwin.
Except for the Camlinternal* modules and the new Stdlib module, all
modules in the stdlib now compile to Stdlib__<module>.
Pervasives is renamed to Stdlib and now contains a list of aliases
from the long names to the short ones, so that from inside and outside
the stdlib we can refer to the standard modules as just List or
Stdlib.List rather than Stdlib__list.
In order to avoid printing the long names in error messages and in the
toplevel, the following heuristic is added to Printtyp: given a path
Foo__bar, if Foo.Bar exists and is a direct or indirect alias to
Foo__bar, then prefer Foo.Bar.
A bootstrap step was required to replace Pervasives by Stdlib as the
module opened by default.
To finish the bootstrap cycle, run:
make library-cross
make promote
make partialclean
make core
make library-cross
make promote-cross
make partialclean
make ocamlc ocamllex ocamltools
make library-cross
make promote
make partialclean
make core
make compare

After applying this patch, you should run:
make library-cross
make promote-cross
make partialclean
make ocamlc ocamllex ocamltools
and then immediately apply the following patches until the "second
part of Benoît Vaugon's format+gadts patch"; the bootstrap cycle is
not finished yet.
