`Typenv__Envaux_hack.Error(...)` and Dune integration
Since debug informations provided by bytecode file sometimes are not enough to use to debug. It is a good point that if we can use merlin config produced by dune.
And we can upgrade the user experience by available to list debuggable programs via dune integration.
Hello, i am very new to ocaml, so please do not be angry with me! I am having trouble understanding the difference between using ocamlc -g main.ml approach and compiling using dune producing main.bc file. Is it only used to debug utop examples? What is the difference between the files produced by ocamlc -g and dune produced *.bc file? How different is it from "traditional" approach? You still provide lanch.json file. I am very confuse... Could somebody explain? Thanks in advance!
It is my impression dune might have stopped or may stop producing those .merlin files replacing them with a new command
dune ocaml-merlin
Or that it may still be producing .merlin files but this is supposed to be better.
I understand it may work a little like LSP: you start dune process with this command, feed requests to its stdin and read answers from stdout. This is touted to be a better facility as you presumably can ask questions about particular source files rather than get folder-level info.
I haven't found many references online but links from changelog provide useful info
Thank you. I have found this command and dune describe command both can be used. I'm investigating which is best fit our case.
