Hi,

1) With utop, you will get what you want:

utop # type t = {
  i: int;
  f: float
} [@@deriving eq,show];;
type t = { i : int; f : float; }
val equal : t -> t -> bool = <fun>
val pp : Format.formatter -> t -> unit = <fun>
val show : t -> bytes = <fun>

2) I believe that you are looking for an option like -dsource for ocamlc
