Re: [Caml-list] how to automatically extract a subset of some ocaml code base?

Hi Francois,

I am currently working on a refactoring tool for OCaml.

     https://gitlab.com/trustworthy-refactoring/refactorer

It contains functionality to compute the file dependency graph of a 
codebase, so perhaps this would potentially work for you? If you have 
the dependency graph, you can extract only the source files that the 
entry point (transitively) depends on.

It is not especially user-friendly at the moment, but if you like I 
could work with you on getting it to do what you want.
