The show directive now has some basic facility to show
useful information for constructors of "normal" values,
exceptions and other non-exception extension constructors.
Also updated show_type to print out recursion status
with a default of Trec_first.
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.
This commit removes the pre-arguments -dflambda, -dtiming and -dprofile
from the toplevel. Those pre-arguments were never actualized into actiual
arguments
* 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.
When running a script with "ocaml foo.ml", the toplevel needs to
run foo.ml with a different Sys.argv than the initial value, since
foo.ml must not see the initial "ocaml" argument.
Previously, this was done with Obj.truncate to shorten the Sys.argv
array. This patch changes it by introducing a primitive %sys_argv.
Uses of this primitive expand to a call to a new C primitive, which
returns the argv array (and can be modified by the toplevel).
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
* 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

There is a small change of behavior in this patch due to a different
handling of weak dependencies (those with crco=None); in
Env.check_consistency, only non-weak dependencies would get
[Env.add_import] called, while the `toplevel/` implementations would
also call [Env.add_import] on weak dependencies. After this patch, we
systematically call [add_import] only on non-weak dependencies, even
in `toplevel/`.
([Gabriel:] As far as I can see, the use of [add_import] in the
toplevel never leads to a use of [Env.imports()] for producing
a dependency list, as the toplevel does not produce cmi/cmo files; are
they just no-ops?)
- Add a Load_path module which caches files lookup
- Instead of falling back to the external environment, allow to
declare in the environment that a module comes from the external
world. This allows persistent structures to shadows non-persistent
ones
- Ident.create now takes a scope as argument
- added Ident.create_var to use when the scope doesn't matter
- the current_time and the current_level are unrelated as of this
commit. But one has to remember to bump the level when creating new
scopes.
- 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
