[Caml-list] caml-mode gets confused about context

[Caml-list] caml-mode gets confused about context

[Ed L Cashin]

Hi.  I've noticed that the caml-mode in ocaml 3.06 loses track of
where indentation should be, especially when I comment things out.  My
fix is to kill the buffer and reload it, at which point caml-mode
immediately starts working again, indenting properly according to the
sytax.

I searched google a bit for caml-list discussion about it, but I
didn't see anything.  Is this a known problem?  Is there a newer
version I should use or some kind of workaround?

There's a workaround.  I wish I knew enough emacs lisp to fix
caml-mode itself.

I find that when the indentation gets confused below a comment, I can
go up to the line before the comment, hit tab (which is bound to
caml-indent-command), and then come back to the line I'm working on.
Then indentation will work properly.

I tried to come up with a minimal example that exhibits the problem
but couldn't.  If anyone wants to see the source file that exibits the
problem, let me know, and I'll send it off-list.
