DB.all will return duplicate libraries in cases when it has 2 names for the same
library. This fix changes all to return a set of values. This is to indicate and
guarantee the uniqueness.
- Add a Sub_system module that allows to register sub-systems
that are implemented in a single file
- Add a Syntax module to deal with versioned syntaxes
Other changes:
- Add location to all library dependencies in jbuild files, to report
properly located errors
- Change the type of functions in Lib to return (_, exn) result
rather than (_, Lib.Error.t With_required_by.t) result, which was
hard to use
- Remove With_required_by.t as it was unused
- Rename With_required_by to Dep_path
- Cleanup a bit the Exe module, move a lot of stuff that was specific to
executable stanzas in gen_rules.ml
- Add String_with_vars.Unexpanded.sexp_of_t
- Rework a bit the code in Lib, in particular factorize the code
for taking the transitive closure of libraries
- Add an ?extra_vars argument to functions that expand variables
in Super_context
- Fix the printing of dependency path
- Merge the handling of dependency path between the build system and
the Lib module
- make sure type t always come first
- Map.map, Map.fold, ... never pass the key to the callback while Map.mapi, Map.foldi, ... do
- removed the ~key and ~data labels, I find them useless and annoying
- Set.elements --> Set.to_list
- Map.bindings --> Map.to_list
- Map.of_alist --> Map.of_list
- added Ordering.t for comparison functions
- renamed Inl/Inr to Left/Right. The latter seems clearer
- moved List.longest to String.longest
- added a Pp module with a nicer API than Format
Lib module
----------
We have a new module Lib that replaces Lib, parts of Lib_db and parts
of Findlib. It is used to manage all libraries (internal and
extrernal). Lib.t represent a completely resolved library, i.e. where
all the dependencies have been resolved. Lib.Compile is used to
provide what is necessary to build the library itself. Lib.Meta
provides what is necessary to generate the META file for the library.
We also have library databases represented as Lib.DB.t. A library
database is simply a mapping from names to Lib.t values and and
created from a resolve function that looks up a name and return a
Lib.Info.t. A Lib.Info.t is the same as a Lib.t except that
dependencies are not resolved.
A library database can have a parent database that is used to lookup
names that are not found in the current database. In practice we have
the following hierarchy:
1. For every scope, we have a library database that holds all the
libraries of this scope. In this DB, a library can be referred by
either it's name or public name
2. the parent of each of these databases is a database that holds all
the public libraries of the workspace. In this DB libraries must be
referred by their public name
3. the parent of this DB is for installed libraries
(1) databases are accessible via Scope.libs
(Super_context.find_scope_by_{name,dir} sctx xxx)
(2) is accessible via Super_context.public_libs sctx
(3) is accessible via Super_context.installed_libs sctx
The dependencies of a library are always resolved inside the DB it is
part of. When we compute a transitive closure, we check that we don't
have two libraries from two different DB with the same name. So for
instance linting Base should now supported.
Jbuild.Scope_info
-----------------
Jbuild.Scope was renamed Jbuild.Scope_info
Scope module
------------
This replaces Lib_db. A Scope.t is now just a pair of a
Jbuild.Scope_info.t and a Lib.DB.t. Scope.DB.t is an object used to
lookup scopes by either name or directory.
We no longer have an external scope or special anonymous
scope. Instead one should use Super_context.installed_libs or
Super_context.public_libs depending on the context.
This required to remove the labeled ~dir arguments in Action because
one would have had to use the same label for the expansion context in
String_with_vars, which would have been odd for generic expansion
functions.
This implies that an atom can only contain a single variable, such as
${@}, and not something like xxx${@}xxx. The internal representation
was changed not to be able to represent the latter.
Define the representation for quoted variables, adapt the test of
strings made of a single variable, and add a constructor.
[String_with_vars.t] is not yet able to use that representation
because the necessary information is not available from the parser.
We are now computing the transitive closure of findlib packages
lazily. This simplify the code and prepare for subsequent changes to
library management.
Fix#484 at the same time
* Make Lib.t abstract
This requires removing the external/internal separation in most places in the
source code. Briefly, these are:
* Special casing of external libs for incremental compilation in jsoo
* .merlin generation
* stamp file generation
* transitive closure having a flag for walking external libs
* checking if a lib is a driver (checking various names)
These cases are fixed by introducing an src_dir, obj_dir abstractions, and the
ability to check if a library is local.
It should be keyed by a unique name because the old key - the internal name,
isn't unique. Also take this change to fix the instalable -> installable typo.
Before, jbuilder used to stop its execution after an error was
encountered. Now it continues until all branches have been explored.
To implement this feature, Future was rewritten as a Fiber module with
a simpler semantic.
This patch contains various other refactorings.
Instead of doing a single call to ocamldep, do one per file. This is
needed to support "menhir --infer".
This should also make compilation go further when there are files with
syntax errors.
* Build_system.prefix_rules
Add a way to implicitly add a build prefix to all rules added by the given
function
* Make sure that on_load_dir callbacks handle the prefix right
* Make sure that prefix_rules prefixes don't contain targets
* Move prefix validation to user facing function
* document prefix_rules
This commit introduces explicit scopes in Lib_db and refactors dune to use these
scopes where appropriate. Briefly, they are appropriate whenever we previously
used a directory to resolve the scope with Lib_db.find ~dir and friends. So a
Lib_db.Scope.t replaces a (dir, Lib_db.t) pair.
This allows to be explicit about the anonymous and external scope. Which is
important when building ppx drivers.
We also harmonize the error handling with the Findlib module. In both cases
we use a flat string list of errors. Rather than the more specific type we had
before in Findlib.
jbuild-ignore should only refer to directories in the current directory
(unlike .gitignore): referring to subdirectories doesn't work.

The -o option in the Microsoft C Compiler is deprecated (and has been for
a very long time). The warning is tedious, so use /Fo instead. The only
problem with this is that "-o foo.obj" must become "/Fofoo.obj" with no
space, which requires a little support in Arg_spec.

The legacy DOS readonly attribute is a tedious difference on Windows,
because a user may have permission to delete a file, but unlink fails
because the attribute is set.

* Change jbuilder to load rules lazily
Rules are now loaded on a per directory basis as needed. This speed up
the start up time on large workspaces.
Does various refactoring as well.
* Simplify the handling of META files
We no longer generate a META.foo.from-jbuilder file. Nobody is using
this feature and it's making the new code more complicated.
* Accept correction files produced by ppx_driver so that [@@deriving_inline] works
* Change promote-if so that it doesn't promote the file when the source file doesn't exist in the source tree
* Let variables say whether they are Concat or Split
To concatenate the contents of a split variable, put it in a string:
"${var} ".
Fixes#300

are ran using the host *for* building targets. Final target artifacts are
compiled using the target toolchain
