[Caml-list] ocamldep & compilation units

[Remco Vermeulen <r.vermeulen@vu.nl>]

Hi,

I’m kind of stuck on the following situation.

foo.ml:
	...
 	module BAR = struct
 		…

		let x () = ...
	end
	...
	end

bar.ml:
       …
       let y () = …

baz.ml:
	open Foo
	...
	BAR.x ()
        …
	Bar.y ()

ocamldep -modules baz.ml, as used by Omake, returns baz.ml: BAR bar.
The manual of ocamldep states that the -modules option returns the compilation units referenced in the source file.
But shouldn’t, in this situation, only Bar be a compilation unit?

In the current situation, Omake adds the compilation unit BAR to the dependencies of baz.cm(o|x),
meaning that it will search for the file bAR.ml to satisfy the dependency.
This has the unfortunate effect of using bar.ml on a case-insensitive filesystem (the default on OSX) resulting in the error:
"Wrong file naming: bar.cmi contains the compiled interface for Bar when BAR was expected”

So my question is. is BAR in the above example correctly identified as a compilation unit by ocamldep?

Cheers,
Remco
