[Caml-list] unmatched paren when using #use in toplevel

[Caml-list] unmatched paren when using #use in toplevel

[Kenichi Asai]

When I have a file with unmatched parenthesis:

test.ml:
1 + (2 * 3

and include it using #use, the ocaml toplevel says:

% ocaml
        OCaml version 4.02.1

# #use "test.ml";;
Syntax error: ')' expected, the highlighted '(' might be unmatched
#

with underline at the space immediately after "#use", but it should
show a file name, line number, and characters.  In case of a type
error:

test.ml:
1 + (2 *. 3)

% ocaml
        OCaml version 4.02.1

# #use "test.ml";;
File "test.ml", line 1, characters 5-6:
Error: This expression has type int but an expression was expected of type
         float
#

It displays the place of the error correctly.  (In OCaml 3.12.1, both
worked fine.)

Sincerely,

Could you submit a bug report on the OCaml bug tracker?
