Subject: [Caml-list] automatic extaction of the .mli (and a little more) from the .ml
Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 12:43:35 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51A81C67.50902@riken.jp> (raw)
Hello,
Is there some recommended tool/script to generate a .mli
from the corresponding .ml?
I want a little more than ocamlc -i:
- I think there should be tags in the .ml file as comments
that say "export this" to the .mli.
By default, things are not exported.
- maybe it should have an option to say to replicate
the ocamldoc comments in the .mli.
- it could be nice if the order in which things are exported
to the .mli can be specified, maybe as an argument of the tag.
So that the .mli can be more readable (only backward references
to concepts, etc.)
If there is a need to create a tool, let's call it "nomli". :)
Regards,
F.
PS: I'm not going to maintain both a .mli and a .ml.
I feel it is a dumb and error-prone job and that
itches me.
