[Caml-list] [ANN] Bisect_ppx 1.0.0 – Modernized code coverage for OCaml

[Anton Bachin <antonbachin@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

We would like to announce the release of Bisect_ppx 1.0.0, a code coverage tool
for OCaml with appealing reports:

  https://github.com/rleonid/bisect_ppx


You can see a live coverage report here:

  http://rleonid.github.io/bisect_ppx/coverage/

Reports can also be submitted to Coveralls.io using ocveralls [1]. See an
example here [2].


Bisect_ppx is a fork of the original Bisect by Xavier Clerc, with extensive
further development. Differences from Bisect, and from earlier versions of
Bisect_ppx, include:

- the nicer and more legible HTML reports,
- more thorough instrumentation, now including nested functions and or-patterns,
- improved compatibility with other PPX rewriters,
- an Ocamlbuild plugin,
- many bugfixes, and
- usage, performance, and documentation improvements.


Bisect_ppx was originally forked to update and maintain Bisect's PPX mode, with
the OCaml community moving to PPX. Bisect_ppx does not have Bisect's Camlp4
dependency. We do not believe that the original Bisect is being actively
maintained.


Regards,
Anton & Leonid


P.S. If you are working on a project that uses Bisect_ppx, please let us know!
