[Caml-list] smarter #load directive

[Caml-list] smarter #load directive

[Francois Berenger]

Hello,

Was this integrated in the subversion trunk?

I mean the
#load "toto.ml";;
that creates a Toto module automatically.

Thanks a lot,
F.

Or was it '#use "toto.ml";;' ?

Following the caml-list discussion, and PR submission #5825 by
Grégoire Henry (with a patch!), the directive #mod_use "foo.ml" was
added in trunk last November.

It does not correspond to "load" because the module is not compiled
using ocamlc (no .cmo is produced), but compiled by the toplevel in
the current toplevel environment. The current implementation is a bit
hackish, I think, and in particular toplevel directives are not
allowed inside foo.ml -- I think they even are silently dropped. It
behaves exactly as if you entered "module Foo = <content of foo.ml
(minus toplevel directives)> end;;" directly in the toplevel.

So far I remember, this is the intended meaning. Directives do not make
sense inside modules. If they are not rejected, I'd consider this as an
error, though.
