This is a repost. Somehow, my original post did not seem to get through.
*****
I have a beautiful quotation expander which boils SQL code down to Ocaml code,
thereby allowing the type checker to verify queries at compile time. This
quotation has been working perfectly in the build system for a couple of years.
Just now I have made a findlib package which allows me to load the quotation
expander in a Camlp4-enabled toplevel, but I am unable to get it to work. Here's
what happens: the quotation expander is called, and it generates the correct
code, but the toplevel complains about a syntax error. If I cut-and-paste back
into the toplevel the dumped code generated by the quotation, the toplevel
accepts it without a wink. What's going on? Is it a problem with my findlib
package or is it a form of miscommunication between the camlp4 parser and the
toplevel?
Here's a transcript of a toplevel session showing the problem.
