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from cvt_emit.mll and make_opcodes.mll have been replaced by a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.

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.
- 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
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".
get_unboxed_type_representation is used in several other modules, and
split into its own Typedecl_unboxed unit.
(pair-programming with Gabriel Scherer)
used by `make build-all-asts` and related commands.
Indeed, the idea is to check that the ASTs do not change when the parser is
modified -- the parser's source itself, if included, would always produce a
false positive.
