OCAML_FLEXLINK is inspected by ocamlopt, ocamlc and ocamlmklib and allows
the flexlink command to be overriden. This is primarily intended as a
solution for bootstrapping OCaml with FlexDLL, thus allowing a bytecode
image of flexlink launched with ocamlrun to be executed, instead of
requiring flexlink to be in PATH.
Previsously
ocamldoc -g better_html.cmo -html
would just use the standard HTML generator instead of keeping the
generator extended by better_html.cmo. This patch makes sure that when
a standard option (-html, -latex, -texi, -man, -dot) is requested,
extended generators for the same format are chosen if they are
present.
Note that there is still a global "current generator setting", so in particular
-g better_html.cmo -man
will throw away the extended generator, and
-g better_html.cmo -man -html
corresponds to the old behaviour.
This week we merged several changes from Thomas Refis, to allow the
use of exception patterns under or-patterns, to write code such as
match foo x with
| None | exception Not_found -> ...
| Some -> ...
Unfortunately, I failed to properly assess the impact of this change,
and in particular to make sure that Luc Maranget had properly reviewed
this code -- any change to the pattern-matching machinery should be
reviewed by Luc.
The problem that I had not foreseen and that he would have immediately
realized is that, while adapting the pattern-matching *compiler* is
relatively easy (Thomas inserted a transformation at the right place
to separate exception patterns from the others and handle them
separately, using the staticraise construct used by the
pattern-matching compiler to avoid duplicating the
right-hand-side branch), adapting the pattern-matching warnings
machinery is both more subtle and easier to overlook (it may fail
silently and nobody notices, unlike wrong code production). This part
of the compiler is subtle and best understood by Luc, but he does not
have the time to do a proper review of those changes in the timeframe
for the 4.03 feature freeze (mid-December).
I believe the right move in this case, implemented in the present
commit, is to revert the change from trunk (this is not a feature that
we must *imperatively* have in 4.03), do a proper job of understanding
the changes, and integrate the change when we are confident it is
ready. I hope to do this in 2016, together with Luc Maranget and
Thomas Refis -- hopefully this would allow Thomas and I to be more
confident when changing the pattern-matching machinery in the future.
