Subject: [Caml-list] Announcing an improved version of the pa_macro package.
Date: Mon, 08 Dec 2003 17:27:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3FD52512.3010207@cs.caltech.edu> (raw)
I have added a number of improvements to the pa_macro package that was
added to camlp4 distribution recently.
The improvements include:
- Allow multiple definitions inside a single top-level IFDEF.
- Support INCLUDE directive that allows including "header" files with
macro definitions.
- Support "local" (not just top-level) macro definitions.
- Support a "NOTHING" macro that allows for optional expressions and
function arguments.
- Descend (instead of skipping) into "try..with..", "do" and function
expressions when substituting for macro arguments.
- Allow omiting "ELSE" branches in expressions.
- Use a more descriptive "ENDIF" instead of "END" at the end of
"IFDEF"/"IFNDEF"
- Other minor improvements.
The new pa_macro package can be downloaded/browsed at
http://cvs.metaprl.org:12000/cvsweb/metaprl/util/pa_macro.ml?only_with_tag%3Docaml_3_07
You can also see the patches responsible for individual new features at
the above location.
P.S. I have filed PR #1901, PR #1902, PR #1904, PR #1905, PR #1907 and
PR #1908 asking for these changes to be accepted into the mainstream
distribution.
