Subject: Very strange camlp4 error when using records
Date: Fri, 13 May 2005 20:54:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050513195425.GA5994@furbychan.cocan.org> (raw)

I have a strange case where the generated code looks completely
correct - indeed, I can pretty-print the code, save it to a file, and
compile it using ocamlc just fine.  However when using the camlp4
preprocessor directly (ocamlc -pp "camlp4o ./pa_test2.cmo" ...), it
fails to compile.

$ ocamlc -pp "camlp4o pa_extend.cmo q_MLast.cmo" -I +camlp4 -c pa_test2.ml
$ ocamlc -pp "camlp4o ./pa_test2.cmo" -I +camlp4 -c test2.ml
File "test2.ml", line 1, characters 11-18:
Unbound value t.a
$ camlp4o ./pa_test2.cmo pr_o.cmo test2.ml
type t = { a : int }
let rec t t = Array.iter print_endline [| string_of_int t.a |]
      (* generated code above compiles just fine in toplevel or ocamlc *)

-- pa_test2.ml -----------------------------------------------
let rec generate loc name = function
  | <:ctyp< int >> ->
      <:expr< string_of_int $lid:name$ >>
  | <:ctyp< { $list:fields$ } >> ->
      let fields = List.map (
	fun (loc, fname, mut, tdef) ->
	  let name = name ^ "." ^ fname in
	  generate loc name tdef
      ) fields in
      <:expr< Array.iter print_endline [| $list:fields$ |] >>
  | _ -> assert false

DELETE_RULE
  Pcaml.str_item: "type"; LIST1 Pcaml.type_declaration SEP "and"
END

EXTEND
  GLOBAL: Pcaml.str_item;

  Pcaml.str_item:
    [[ "type"; tds = LIST1 Pcaml.type_declaration SEP "and" ->
	 let typedefs = <:str_item< type $list:tds$ >> in
	 let values = List.map (
	   fun ((loc, name), tparams, tdef, cl) ->
	     let body = generate loc name tdef in
	     <:patt< $lid:name$ >>, <:expr< fun $lid:name$ -> $body$ >>
	 ) tds in
	 <:str_item<
	   declare
	     $typedefs$;
	     value rec $list:values$;
           end
         >> ]];
END
--------------------------------------------------------------

-- test2.ml --------------------------------------------------
type t = { a : int }
--------------------------------------------------------------

Ideas?

Rich.
