(patch by Josh Watzman) Add absolute directory names to bytecode format for ocamldebug to use The need for a long list of -I directives makes interactively using ocamldebug a pain in the butt. Many folks have solved this with various `find` invocations or even Python wrappers, but those lead to other problems when it might include files you weren't expecting (or miss things you were). But all of this is really annoying since the tooling should be able to figure out itself, even heuristically, where your source files are -- gdb gets this right, why can't we? This patch implements one of the more important heuristics from gdb: you typically debug on the same machine you built on, so looking for the source files and built artifacts in the absolute paths where they were during compilation is a good first try. We write out absolute paths into a new structure at the beginning of the debug section and then automatically append those directories into the load path. This means mean that if you happen to be debugging on a machine where the original source and build artifacts are *not* available in their original absolute locations, things will work as before, using the standard load path mechanism. You can also explicitly use -I to prepend directories to the load path and override the defaults located by this new mechanism. I personally find this makes using ocamldebug much more pleasant :) git-svn-id: http://caml.inria.fr/svn/ocaml/trunk@14533 f963ae5c-01c2-4b8c-9fe0-0dff7051ff02 |
