ocamlbuild: caching and -dtypes

Hi,

 

I've been trying out ocamlbuild, very cool indeed, thanks!

 

But I wonder, am I the only one who is experiencing ocamlbuild caching fewer
generated files than I would expect?  I haven't had time to investigate
fully, but when building native code I see something like only two thirds of
the files being cached from one successful build to the next when no sources
are modified.

 

Also, has anyone trained tuareg to look for .annot files in the build
directory, or else taught ocamlbuild to put the .annot files back?

 

Cheers,  Josh

When no source is modified the second run shouldn't trigger any
command. In my tests I use the -nothing-should-be-rebuilt option to
ensure it. If you find a counter example of reasonably sized I'll dig
a little to see what's wrong.

That's a known issue, the tuareg mode will be upgraded soon.
