Subject: Camlp4 in a Unix pipe
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 15:20:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <437C91B0.9030507@barettadeit.com> (raw)
I'm musing a little with camlp4. Specifically, I'm trying to get it to
preprocess input written according to some syntax extension and output the
result. Of course, since I'm just playing, I'd like to do this in type-eval-loop
kind of interface. I tried typing the following command in my shell:
$ cat - | camlp4 pa_o.cmo pa_extend.cmo pr_o.cmo pa_openin.cmo
Camlp4 dies miserably discarding it's standard input. So then I tried the following:
cat - | camlp4 pa_o.cmo pa_extend.cmo pr_o.cmo pa_openin.cmo -impl /dev/stdin
Again, camlp4 dies miserably with the following error message:
I/O error: Illegal seek
Short of writing my own Pr_stdout module, is there any way to achieve the result
of interactively getting camlp4 to preprocess some code and print it back to stdout?
Alex
