Keeping track of OCaml toolchain related issues

[samoht]

This is just a place to hold the various issues I've found while trying to integrate with the OCaml toolchain.

Pre-processors

• no option in the compiler to dump the parsetree. workaround: https://github.com/samoht/ocaml-dumpast
• no option in camlp4 to output the dumped AST in a file (other than redirecting stdout)
• the -impl file is not passed properly to the preprocessor (only file). workaround: separate pre-processing and compile phases

ocamlfind

• ocamlfind duplicates some output: workaround: https://github.com/samoht/assemblage/blob/master/lib/as_ocamlfind.ml#L59
• missing query P1 P2 -X P3 option in ocamlfind. workaround: none

ocamldep

• ocamldep -sort does not work on cmo and cmx files
• ocamldep always include .
• ocamldep assumes that build artefacts are located in the same location as source files

ocamldep doesn't work with symlinks or I'm crazy ?

I'm crazy. My symlinks were wrong...
