Hi,

Is it possible to statically link and initialise a ppx filter before
an OCaml top level runs?  This is needed for IOCaml in it's javascript
variant.

Also, is there a general set of files that should be installed in
order for ppx to work for us static linker types?

Cheers,
Andy

Hi,

Currently, ppx in the compiler is hardcoded to invoke external
processes, see Pparse.apply_rewriter. However, it is possible
to work around that by overriding:
   * Ast_mapper.register_function, to remember the mapper
     structure,
   * and Toploop.preprocess_phrase, to apply the mapper
     to the incoming phrase.
