OCamlSpotter for OCaml 3.12.0+rc1

[Jun Furuse <jun.furuse@gmail.com>]

Hi Caml-list,

I have updated OCamlSpotter, a compiler enhancement for source code
browsing, to version 3.12.0.0.0, which supports new syntax constructs
introduced in OCaml 3.12.0+rc1. This is a very quick porting version
for people who are already using OCamlSpotter with OCaml 3.11.2.

OCamlSpotter is a tool which finds definition places of various names
(identifiers, type names, modules, etc) in OCaml programs
automatically for you. The original OCaml's -annot option provides the
same sort of functionality but OCamlSpotter provides much more
powerful browsing: it can find definitions hidden in the deep nested
module aliases and functor applications.

 - The -annot option of ocamlc and ocamlopt is extended and creates
<module>.spot files (<module>.spit for .mli), which record the
location information of the names defined and used in the module.

 - A small application ocamlspot provides automatic where-about
spotting of the definition of the name you are interested in, using
<module>.spot files created by the patched compilers.

 - ocamlspot.el provides interactive ocaml-spotting of definition
locations in emacs.

 - Interfaces for other editors such as vi could be built easily, if you want.

The source code is available from Mercurial repo at ocamlforge:

which will be moved to ocamlforge soon.

Happy hacking.
