opttopfind is a port of the topfind library, shipped with
ocamlfind, compatible with the native toplevel.
It depends on compiler-libs-opttoplevel
and on a specific fork of OCaml 4.11, available
here.
This package is a temporary port and the aim is to integrate this work into upstream ocamlfind once the unification of the native and bytecode toplevel as a simple patch.
It was initally created for a prototyping a version of MDX
using ocaml-jit but if you wish to play around with the
native toplevel and still benefit from #require directives you can give it a try!
To use the above mentionned compiler fork in a fresh local switch, run the following command:
opam compiler create --switch=. NathanReb:jit-hook-411
Then, in addition to pinning this repo, you'll likely need to pin compiler-libs-opttoplevel
as opam doesn't handle transitive pin-depends:
opam pin add compiler-libs-opttoplevel.0.1.0 git+https://github.com/NathanReb/compiler-libs-opttoplevel.git#0.1.0
opam pin opttopfind.0.1.0 git+https://github.com/NathanReb/opttopfind.git#0.1.0
Alternatively you can also add the following pin-depends field to your opam file so that
opam install ./ does the right thing:
pin-depends: [
[
"compiler-libs-opttoplevel.0.1.0"
"git+https://github.com/NathanReb/compiler-libs-opttoplevel.git#0.1.0"
]
[
"opttopfind.0.1.0"
"git+https://github.com/NathanReb/opttopfind.git#0.1.0"
]
