OCaml 3.11.0 release candidate

OCaml 3.11.0 release candidate

[Damien Doligez]

Dear OCaml users,

We are closing in on version 3.11.0.  A Release Candidate is now  
available.
If there are no show-stoppers in this RC, then 3.11.0 will be officially
released next week.

The release candidate is available here:
< http://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-3.11/ >
(look for 3.11.0+rc1)

As usual, we need a few brave souls to try and install it on their
favourite architecture and report the result to me.

Happy hacking,

-- Damien Doligez for the OCaml team.

For GODI, what's the CVS branch one should use?
Am I correct in assuming "ocaml3110rc1"?

Also, using GODI and the "ocaml3110rc1" branch,
I get a compilation error:

make[8]: execvp: ./build/mixed-boot.sh: Permission denied
make[8]: *** [ocamlbuild-mixed-boot] Error 127

I reckon the problem is that the mixed-boot.sh script does not
have the executable flag set.  Anyone else encountering this
problem?

Cheers,
Dario Teixeira

The documentation for 3.11 is also available from the same place.  The
HTML manual can be browsed online at

http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml-311/index.html

Enjoy,

Is there a document listing new features / bug fixes between 3.10 and 3.11?

Re: [Caml-list] OCaml 3.11.0 release candidate

[Jacques Carette]

In the CYGWIN32, SUPPORT_DYNAMIC_LINKING version of 3.11.0+rc1, file 
unix.c has the following lines:

178:   return flexdll_dlopen(libname, flags);
193:   return flexdll_dlsym(flexdll_dlopen(NULL,0,1), name);

My version of gcc is extremely unhappy about line 193 [and says so 
loudly by quitting], since it corresponds to a call to flexdll_dlopen 
with an incorrect number of parameters.

Maybe it is a good opportunity to replace the CAMLprim of chapter 18 by
CAMLexport (even though they are supposed not to be needed anymore IIRC).

Thanks for your work,

I'm just rebuilding all the Fedora 11 packages right now.  I can
report so far that the base 3.11.0+rc1 package builds fine.

Two camlp4 packages so far have given this error message, which is new
since I tried 3.11.0+beta1:

File "_none_", line 1, characters 0-1:
Error: Error while linking /usr/lib/ocaml/camlp4/camlp4lib.cma(Camlp4):

That's probably a fix to be done in the packages using camlp4. See:

  http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=4568

Maybe it should be documented as a "can possibly break existing code
(actually, Makefiles)" in the Changes file...?

As it turns out, many packages using camlp4.

So as I understand this, every package which uses camlp4lib.cma has to
be changed to add 'dynlink.cma' before camlp4lib.cma?

Yes. For Findlib-aware build systems, the proper fix would be to make
camlp4 depend on dynlink.

So far our tests have compiled and run successfully in most platforms  
[1] excepting Windows 64 bits (but it's the first time I attempt to  
compile in this architecture). I am getting this error message:

Entering directory `/home/andres/ocaml-3.11.0+rc1/byterun`

ws2_32.lib libcamlrun.lib

Any suggestions?

There are two problems with Windows 64 that I forgot to fix before
this RC1 release; this is one of them.  A patch is available at

http://gallium.inria.fr/~xleroy/ocaml-3.11rc1-win64.patch

The CVS release branch contains this fix.

Thanks. This time the compilation went further, but failed with the  
errors below.

The patch was successful and OCaml has compiled cleanly.

It is definitely no showstopper, but what about the request which has
circulated on this list to add .cmxs default target to ocamlbuild?

Are we still in time for that?

Cheers.

I have a question about the behavior of camlp4orf (and family) in  
3.11.0. Now with the availability of native dynlink, it seems like  
camlp4orf and camlp4orf.opt can load external modules inside the core.  
If one looks at their respective help:

<file>.(cmo|cma) Load this module inside the Camlp4 core
<file>.cmx       Load this module inside the Camlp4 core

This is a feature I've been looking for to speedup compilation times.  
However, if I try the native version, here is what I get:

samson:src andres$ camlp4orf.opt poyExtension.cmx
Error: don't know what to do with poyExtension.cmx
Use option -help for usage

Is the usage different for the camlp4*.opt preprocessors?

best,

Andres

You should try with .cmxs files.

Oh, of course! Thanks, I was blinded with the help message, maybe it  
can be made explicit on it?

Definitely not a show-stopper but I am quite puzzled by the semantics
of the newly-introduced "Printexc.get_backtrace" function (and hence
also by "Printexc.print_backtrace").

Things are not pleasant to me regarding programs involving multiple  
threads.
By using "Printexc.get_backtrace" one may get an exception raised in
another thread. In the following program, there is no guarantee that the
two "print" expressions will output coherent results: the backtrace  
printed
may be the one of an exception thrown by another thread.

   try
     (...)
   with e ->
     print_endline (Printexc.to_string e);
     print_endline (Printexc.get_backtrace ())


Of course, coherence could be ensured by using a lock/mutex but I find  
the
solution heavyweight (and even in some cases tricky because of existing
synchronization). Another option (involing changes to the OCaml runtime)
would be to attach each backtrace to either its exception or to its  
thread.


Am I wrong ? Is the problem of no practical importance ?
Any comment or correction is very welcome to enlighten me.
