compilation with modules

compilation with modules

[Francois Colonna]

Hello

Could somebody tell me how to compile a piece of code ( "my_code.ml")  using
a module ("my_tools.ml")

Here are the files :
___ my_tools.ml ____

module My_tools =
struct
let print_a_string a_string  =
    print_string (a_string)
;;
end

and
 ___ my_code.ml ____

open My_tools
let a_string = "a string" ;;
print_a_string a_string ;;


Thanks
François Colonna

Just change my_code.ml
--- my_code.ml ---

open My_tools.My_tools
let a_string = "a string" ;;
print_a_string a_string ;;
---------------------

compile as follows

ocamlc my_tools.ml my_code.ml

Basically the file a.ml is interpreted by the compiler
as

module A = struct
  contents of a.ml
end

There is a more complete description in the manual
<http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/manual004.html>
(At the end)

Hope it helps,
