Subject: try .. finally using new camlp4
Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2007 01:14:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200707080114.42213.jon@ffconsultancy.com> (raw)
I'm just getting my toe wet with the new camlp4 and I can't get this simple
syntax extension to work. AFAICT, the following code:
open Camlp4.PreCast;;
let expr : Camlp4.PreCast.Ast.expr Camlp4.PreCast.Gram.Entry.t =
Gram.Entry.mk "expression"
module Example (Syntax : Camlp4.Sig.Camlp4Syntax) = struct
open Camlp4.PreCast
include Syntax
let printer =
let module P = Camlp4.Printers.OCaml.Make(Syntax) in
new P.printer ()
EXTEND Gram
expr: LEVEL "top"
[[ "try"; f=expr; "finally"; g=expr ->
<:expr<
((function
| `Val v, g -> g(); v
| `Exn e, g -> g(); raise e)
((try `Val($f$) with e -> `Exn e), (fun () -> $g$)))
>>]];
END
end
module M = Camlp4.Register.OCamlSyntaxExtension(Id)(Example)
should provide the syntax extension. Compile with:
$ ocamlc -dtypes -pp camlp4of -I /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.0/camlp4 -linkall
camlp4lib.cma unix.cma Camlp4Parsers/Camlp4OCamlRevisedParser.cmo
Camlp4Parsers/Camlp4OCamlParser.cmo Camlp4Printers/Camlp4AutoPrinter.cmo
Camlp4Bin.cmo pa_tryfinally.ml -o pa_tryfinally
Drop into a top-level with the extended syntax and the extension works but it
seems to have replaced the original try .. with syntax rather than added a
new one:
$ ocaml camlp4of.cma pa_tryfinally.cmo
Objective Caml version 3.10.0
Camlp4 Parsing version 3.10.0
# try raise Exit finally print_endline "Foo!";;
Foo!
Exception: Pervasives.Exit.
# try raise Exit with _ -> print_endline "Foo!";;
Parse error: "finally" expected after [expr] (in [expr])
I've tried various things to correct this but I can't get it to work. What am
I doing wrong?
