This form used to produce Pstr_eval instead of Pstr_let. This would
probably come as a suprise for people matching on the Parsetree (e.g.
for a ppx). This special case is now removed.
To avoid a (probably harmless) regression in bytecode, the compilation
of "let _ = ..." bindings (including local ones) is optimized to remove
a useless introduction of a variable (which would occupy a stack slot
otherwise).
The source code printer (-dsource) now prints Pstr_eval as ";;expr",
which should always be ok. One could avoid ";;" at the beginning of
the structure, but since it is allowed, it is probably not worth adding
complexity here.
Merge of branch 'hex-float'.
- Add support in byterun/floats.c for conversions between floats and strings in hex notation. We cannot rely on the C standard library here because Microsoft consistently fails at supporting hex notation as standardized in C99. Instead, the conversions are implemented from scratch.
- Add support in the lexer so that hex float literals are recognized in OCaml sources.
- Add support in formats. The ISO C99 format letters for hex floats are %a and %A, but %a is already taken. I chose %h and %H, which are rejected today as bad formats (hence no backward incompatibility) and don't mean anything in C either (h is a modifier, not a format letter).
- Add support in printf. All the trimmings are there in the implementation of %h and %H, including sign modifier and fixed precision.
- Benoit Vaugon contributed support in scanf.
Resolved conflicts:
boot/ocamlc
boot/ocamldep
boot/ocamllex
parsing/lexer.mll
The fix consists in representing float literals by their bit patterns (int64) in the Mach and Linear intermediate languages.
A regression test was added to the test suite.
As suggested in the discussion of GPR#272:
- Do not go through fpclassify() (speedup: 2 to 3)
- Add 64-bit variant of the code (additional speedup: 10%-20%)
Unix.sleepf provides sleep with sub-second resolution.
Unix.sleep is implemented on top of Unix.sleepf.
If a handled signal causes the sleep to return early with an EINTR
error, catch it and restart the sleep for the remaining time.
Implementation notes:
- Based on c-cube's GPR#227 code, but many Unix functions were missing.
- For Unix.bind and Unix.connect to a PF_UNIX address, tolerate
file names whose first character is '\000': in Linux, these have
a meaning as "abstract socket addresses", and in other operating
systems, the resulting empty path name causes a EINVAL error
(tested under MacOS X).
- Very lightly tested.
- win32unix remains to be fixed.
Add the following syntactic sugars, in both expressions and patterns:
- { f : typ = x } to mean { f = (x : typ) }
- { f : typ } to mean { f = (f : typ) }
In expressions, the type annotation can also be a coercion. For
instance: { f :> typ } to mean { f = (f :> typ) }.
