This introduces a tiny change of behavior since command line options which affect the
printing of dependencies (-modules, -all, -ml-synonym, -mlfi-synonym) are taken into
account even for files mentioned before on the command-line. This is probably not going to break
anything.
Note: this commit also reverse the ordering of the output, but we will normalize it in the next
commit anyway.
This module checks all the AST invariants. This is to ensure that all
invariants are written down in one place and are consistently checked
between the various clients of the AST (typer, pprintast, ...).
The invariants are checked in Pparsee, after applying the ppx
rewriters.
The formatters used for printing warnings have text mode translation
enabled which means that any Windows endings which creep into warning
texts (e.g. from attributes) result in \r\r\n in the output.
The effect is largely innocuous, except that it causes the
deprecated_module_use test to fail on Windows.
Extend the previous patch allowing make -f Makefile.nt flexdll
install-flexdll not to require the install-flexdll stage.
OCAML_FLEXLINK is utilised as required to allow compilation of the entire
system using an in-tree compiled flexlink. The build process simply
required the flexdll target to appear before world.
opt.opt compiles a native code version of flexlink.exe as flexlink.opt.
install always installs flexlink.exe if it was compiled along with any
required .manifest files. It also installs the appropriate .o/.obj files
to $(INSTALL_LIBDIR).
At present, the bootstrapping is not extended to the Cygwin ports.
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.
I'm not familiar enough with Subversion to know how properties work
there, but the translation for detecting binary files to git using
attributes is incorrect. Checking for the binary attribute with
check-attr only detects if the file has been *specified* as binary.
Script altered to use a "well-known" plumbing command to detect whether
git regards a particular file as binary. This takes into account
.gitattributes, but also works if the file has been automatically
detected as binary by git.
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.

The stripping is done during bootstrap, when copying the new ocamlc, ocamllex and ocamldep to boot/. The new "stripdebug" tool performs this task.
As a consequence, comparing the new compilers with the boot/ compilers at the end of bootstrap is more complicated, since the debug section must be ignored. A new tool, "cmpbyt" in tools/, performs this comparison.
