Subject: [Caml-list] Generating a module implementation from a module
 signature using camlp4

Hi list,

I am trying to write a bit of camlp4 that will take as input a module
signature, preferably in mli form, and generate a module
implementation as an ml file. My goal is to implement a mocking
framework for OCaml modules.

It seems that I would want to use a camlp4 filter to do this, but as
far as I can tell it's not possible to create a filter from sig_items
to str_items. Is a filter the right approach? Am I going to have to
define my module signatures as module type definitions from within ml
files? Can anyone give me some some advice on how to do this properly?

Mike
