Where does the missing primitive unix_inet_addr_of_string comes from ?

[kit-ty-kate]

I got this missing primitive and I wanted to know where does it comes from. Because it should appears only if the unix package is used (directly or as a dependency) but I only use eliom.client.

$ js_of_ocaml -noruntime -pretty -debuginfo -noinline +js_of_ocaml/runtime.js +eliom.client/eliom_client.js +js_of_ocaml/weak.js +js_of_ocaml/classlist.js src/client/cumulus.byte -o src/client/cumulus.js
Missing primitives:

  unix_inet_addr_of_string

ocamlobjinfo ~/.opam/4.01.0/lib/eliom/client/eliom_client.cma reference Unix..

[kit-ty-kate]

The only Unix call in eliom.client (without its dependencies) is Unix.gettimeofday. I don't know if there is something else, in the dependencies of eliom.client maybe.

unix_inet_addr_of_string is used to build toplevel values in Unix module. That why it cannot be removed easily from the generated js.

Ok. Oh well, Unix.gettimeofday was under a comment. So I really don't know where is the call to Unix :/

And the interesting thing is that it doesn't appears using js_of_eliom instead of js_of_ocaml (with exactly the same options)

[hhugo]

I guess it has nothing to do with js_of_ocaml but rather with how the bytecode program is compiled. you should check the difference between js_of_eliom and the your myocamlbuild plugin

Ok, got it. It was due to the use of -thread. See: https://bitbucket.org/Engil/cumulus/commits/104560d5a89cc44625e9dc664025fffa86ca368e

Thanks
