This commit touches neither boot/ocamlc nor boot/ocamllex
It has the side-effect of fixing the cleanup rules which did not use the
$(EXE) extension when removing a file although it was produced with the
$(EXE) extension.
This moves the configure-generated parts of Makefile.common to a
separate (generated) Makefile, allowing Makefile.common to be a normal
Makefile.
OCaml's build system Makefile's now include Makefile.build_config (which
itself includes Makefile.config) but Makefile.config is still installed
as before. This allows configure to generate variables which are
specific to the build process and are not intended to be exported to the
installation.
The instrumentation code in the instrumented runtime was replaced
with new APIs to gather runtime statistics and output them in a new format
(Common Trace Format).
This commit also exposes new functions in the Gc module to pause or resume
instrumentation during a program execution (Gc.eventlog_pause and
Gc.eventlog_resume).

This commit modifies objinfo_helper so that the caml_plugin_header
symbol is also looked up in the static symbol table, if it is
not found in the dynamic one.
This is useful e.g. on Windows where the symbol can not be found
without this commit.
It is also necessary to look for the _-prefixed version of the symbol.
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 deduplicates some of the Makefile rules used to compile C files.
Rather than having one such rule per Makefile for each directory
containing C files, the relevant rules are moved to Makefile.common.in.
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.
* 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.
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.
- 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
--disable-unix-lib, --disable-vmthreads and --disable-str-lib added to
prevent building these three libraries.
ocamldoc, the debugger and caml-tex are automatically disabled if their
prerequisites are not built. Using --enable-debugger and
--enable-ocamldoc will result in errors if these tools cannot be built.
This change should be a refactoring no-op.
Before, a DEPFLAGS variable existed in some makefiles to contain
include directories to be passed to ocamldep invocations, but no
support for easily adding command-line flags to ocamldep was available
(invocations would systematically use -slash, which was duplicated
across callsites).
With this PR, a new DEPINCLUDES variable contains the include
directories, and DEPFLAGS is repurposed to contain other command-line
flags for the tool -- currently "slash".
- The code responsible for printing Syntaxerr errors is moved to the
Parse module (so that it can depend on the variable printer in
Pprintast).
- Pprintast becomes a dependency for a few tools that link some
compiler modules in an ad hoc way (they would better be implemented
in terms of compiler-libs).
In order to prepare the transition to autoconf, this commit moves the
configuration Makefile out of the config directory which will disappear
and gives it the name it will have once intstalled, namely Makefile.config.
Some Makefiles were using export to set OCAML_FLEXLINK "globally" while
others set a variable FLEXLINK_ENV and set the environment explicitly.
All Makefiles now use FLEXLINK_ENV and also only invoke it on linking
commands (rather than, for example, all invocations of ocamlopt).
The goal of this change is to avoid conflicts encountered by
compiler-libs users that would also use their own MenhirLib runtime
for their own parsers.
I first tried to implement a solution to this module-name-conflict
issue using module aliases and -open, but this proven too fragile and
too difficult to get right.
Uses the new $symbolstartpos feature of Menhir
to get locations identical to the OCamlYacc ones.
REBASE POINT: at the point of this commit, using a diff program
on parser.mly and parser_menhir.mlyp should give identical results
after the header code. If you rebase the Menhir-parser patchset
against a newer ocamlyacc parser (parser.mly), those two files
will have diverged, and you need to merge the parser.mly change
back into parser_menhir.mlyp -- and then deal with them in the
rest of the patch series.
