Module Ocaml_plugin.Compiler.Make

This is a wrapper for the similar module in Dynloader that takes care of cleaning the compiler afterwards.

Parameters

X : Dynloader.Module_type

Signature

type t

val load_ocaml_src_files : (string list ‑> t Async.Deferred.Or_error.t) create_arguments

val load_ocaml_src_files_without_running_them : (string list ‑> (unit ‑> t) Async.Deferred.Or_error.t) create_arguments

val check_ocaml_src_files : (string list ‑> unit Async.Deferred.Or_error.t) create_arguments

val check_plugin_cmd : unit ‑> Async.Command.t

Command that checks that the anon files given compile and match the interface X given. Also provides a -ocamldep mode allowing only the main file to be passed on the command line.

module Load : Dynloader.S with type t := t

Load contains functions similar to the ones above, and can be used if you want to separate extraction of the compiler from building/loading files. It can be useful if you want to extract the compiler upfront (to improve latency a bit) or if you want to share the cost of extracting the compiler for the current executable over multiple compilations. Probably not needed by the casual user.
