Subject: Toplevel - loading dependencies
Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2009 14:23:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49675DE7.5030000@uj.edu.pl> (raw)
Another problem with loading modules in the toplevel:
I need to use the module A. So I write:
#load "A.cmo"
to get a messsage "Reference to undefined global B"
So I prepend a line:
#load B.cmo
and get another "undefined global". Then it repeats prohibitively many
times.
This is resolving dependencies by hand, one by one.
The solution would be to have a special version of cmo that knows
locations of all other cmo's it depends on.
In special cases I could use cma archives, but this is only applicable
when there is well defined and stable set of modules I need.
But in practice the modules I use in ocaml scripts are constantly
evolving. It leads to having multiple cma aggregates and maintaining
their building description. Again, lots of work.
If I put everything into one big cma, then I have to recompile it every
small change. It takes so long time, that it would make no sense to use
the interpreter at all.
Could I ask ocamlbuild to produce proper loading preamble for my scripts?
What is the right solution?
