The issue #9050 comes (partly) from #2281 forgetting to add the
compilerlibs/ocamlmiddleend archives in the installation target. The
present patch should solve this issue once and for all, by using
a wildcard to install all archives that have been built in
compilerlibs/, instead of using a manual listing.
Compared to trunk, the following extra files are installed in
$(LIBDIR)/compilerlibs: ocamlmiddleend.{a,cma,cmxa}. There are no
other changes in the installed-files list.
(make -C ocamltest) will run the first rule of the ocamltest Makefile,
which happens to be the 'all' rule. This is not robust to the addition
of new rules in some of the included Makefile, and indeed a previous
version of the previous commit broke it inadvertently.
The Git configuration value ocaml.configure is now passed to the
configure script's arguments before $@ if (and only if) OCaml is being
configured from a Git clone.
This allows, for example:
- Developer-specific preferences (e.g. `--disable-ocamldoc` or
`--disable-debug-runtime`)
- Automatic use of autoconf cach files (-C option)
It is implemented by inserting a test at the top of `configure`, which
is bypassed if `.git` doesn't exist.
This commit makes it possible to build the OCaml compiler according to
its configuration by simply runnning make. There is no need to specify
neither world nor world.opt explicitly, although the two targets
remain available.
This commit also introduces (and starts making use of) the
NATIVE_COMPILER build variable whosse value is true when the native
compiler is enabled and false otherwise.
This commit defines five default argument modules in
Main_args.default. Those modules provide a default implementation
for the argument of ocaml, ocamlnat, ocamlc, ocamlopt, ocamldoc,
ocamlcp, ocamloptp, and expect_test.
Grouping together those implementations allow to share as much as
possible similar implementation across executables. It should make
easier to keep synchronized the various implementation, or reuse
those implementation in alternative drivers.
Separate the description of the IR from the transformations
performed on it by moving type declarations from linearize.ml
into their own file, called linear.ml.
Makefile.dev is only included if a Git clone is detected.
make evaluates macros in target specifications when the Makefile is
read, which meant that the build-all-asts target caused `git ls-files`
to be called on every invocation of make. This tweaks it to be a
recursive call to make which puts the $(AST_FILES) macro in the recipe
where it is only evaluated when the target is requested.
This commit makes e.g. make -s world.opt completely
silent when everything works, in order to increase the visibility of
any unexpected message occurring during the build.
This will be useful for instance during CI, in particular it should
make it easier to catch undefined build variables.
The implementation is straightforward. The OCAMLLEX_FLAGS variable is
defined in Makefile.common.in and then used consistently by all
lexing recipes.
In addition, in tools/Makefile, the two rules producing the lexers
from cvt_emit.mll and make_opcodes.mll have been replaced by a
pattern-rule and the useless .SUFFIXES target has been removed.
Previously, if the native-code compiler is not supported
(e.g. because configure doesn't recognize the target architecture,
or is run with --disable-native-compiler), "make world.opt"
fails late and with a mysterious error message
(a warning about undeclared C functions in runtime/roots_nat.c
or runtime/backtrace_nat.c, typically).
This commit ensures that "make world.opt", "make opt" and "make opt.opt"
fail immediately with a meaningful error message if the native-code
compiler is not supported.
Note: in "world.opt", make sure that "checknative" is run, and only
then "coldstart"; don't run them in parallel.
* Various file moves in the middle end: this is the first stage of improving separation between the middle end and backend.
* Creation of file_formats/ directory (with associated file moves) to hold the definitions of compilation artifact formats.
* Creation of lambda/ directory (with associated file moves) to hold Lambda language definition files, transformation passes and construction passes from Typedtree.
* Disable (hopefully temporarily) dynlink, debugger and ocamldoc for the dune build.
The Graphics library is now distributed as a separate package.

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
Persistent_env is a new module that handles the relation between the
type-checking state and the "persistent" typing information laying in
.cmi files on the filesystem. In particular, it handles the collection
and production of CRC information for the .cmi files being read and
written to the filesystem; the using modules (in our case, only Env)
are in charge of turning the cmi files into higher-level information
(components and signatures).
Persistent_env exposes a type `'a t` of a persistent environment,
which acts as a mutable store of `'a` values. There is no global state
in the module itself: while Env (and thus the OCaml type-checker) uses
a single global persistent environment, it should be possible to
create several independent environments to represent, for example,
several independent type-checking sessions.
