Camlp5 Version 8.00: -------------------- * [26 Dec 2020] several changes * support ocaml 4.12 syntax: injective type-parameters and prefix-ops containing hash. * debug-printing via pa_ppx -- requiring 'pa_ppx.base' will load 'pa_ppx.deriving_plugins.show'-based pretty-printers for Camlp5's AST types. Camlp5 Version 8.00-alpha07: -------------------- * [18 Oct 2020] BIG change: the type of expressions (MLast.expr) is switched to using longidents instead of the old "ExAcc"/"ExUid" stuff. This is a vast improvement in correctness as well as allowing better support for things like "M.N.( ... expr ...)" The old quotation syntax <:expr< $e1$ . $e2$ >> is discontinued. Instead you should use: <:expr< $longid:li$ >>: for a module-path or constructor <:expr< $longid:li$ . ( $e$ ) >>: for a local-open <:expr< $e$ . $longid:li$ . $lid:id$ >>: for a qualified field-name, e.g. x.Location.txt <:expr< $e$ . $lid:id$ >>: for a simple field-name, e.g. x.txt Camlp5 Version 8.00-alpha06: -------------------- * [01 Oct 2020] multiple small changes * export "pa_macro_gram.cmo" as the findlib package "camlp5.macro_gram": this provides IFDEF support in grammars. * in Q_ast, add "stri" as a valid antiquotation for str_item. And add tests. * factored out base of Q_ast, so we can use it in PPX derivers that generate quotations for other types than Camlp5's AST Camlp5 Version 8.00-alpha05: -------------------- * [24 Sep 2020] add support for 4.11.0 quoted-extension, viz {%foo|argle|} and {foo bar|argle|bar} * [19 Sep 2020] multiple small changes * export more names from Reloc * in Q_MLast, allow Qast.Node to take a dotted name, e.g. Qast.Node "A.B.C" and convert it into an access-expression, so we can use quotations over types not in MLast. Camlp5 Version 8.00-alpha04: -------------------- * [01 Sep 2020] Add support for Ocaml 4.11.1. Support "#-types" with extended longidents (module-applications). Test support for same. Camlp5 Version 8.00-alpha03: -------------------- * [22 Aug 2020] Add support for Ocaml 4.10.1. Camlp5 Version 8.00-alpha02: -------------------- * [18 Aug 2020] fixed original-syntax pretty-printing bug in class-decl params. * [16 Aug 2020] added "-version" to succinctly print out camlp5 version (like "ocamlc --version"). Added "constructor" quotation to q_MLast and q_ast, we can pattern-match with quotations, on constructor-declarations. * [15 Aug 2020] fixed "-verbose" bug in mkcamlp5 (and updated doc) * [13 Aug 2020] rehabilitated q_ast parsing kit and verified that it works just as q_MLast does (for revised syntax). Still haven't done so original syntax (and it won't, since original syntax has ambiguities when introducing antiquotations everywhere). Also rehabbed the "test" tests, but not all of them work (e.g. "quot_o"). Changed revised syntax (only revised -- original syntax remains the same) of GADT declarations to allow them to be pattern-matched with quotations. Example: instead of type t = A : t1 -> t2 -> t use type t = A of t1 and t2 : t This allows quotations like type t = [ A of $list:args$ : $t$ ] ; * [05 Aug 2020] Fixed top/rprint so that in revised syntax toplevel mode, exceptions get printed out correctly. TODO: Devise a unit-test for this, and go thru and verify that it works for all "outcometree" types. * [01 Aug 2020] Added purely-internal "ppxprint" (PPX-derived printers for AST types) so we can use it to debug. It's disabled by default, so no external users should need to worry about it. To enable, build camlp5 with "BOOTSTRAPPED=1" as an extra toplevel make argument. TODO: add this to the "configure" script. * [30 Jul 2020] fixed parser lookahead-too-far bug in revised syntax. Input {|(F.f 1);|} was causing lookahead to the token after the semicolon. * [25 Jul 2020] add "extfold" to META. Move much documentation from README.md to Sphinx/RST docs. Add example of extending Ocaml syntax to tutorial. * [24 Jul 2020] update META to allow use of all syntax-extension kits with original syntax. Some of these will be breaking; we'll undo them as we find that they break (assuming nothing can be done to fix the breakage). Camlp5 Version 8.00-alpha01: -------------------- * [07 Jul 2020] Massive number of changes to support PPX extension/attribute syntax, PPX rewriters, and syntax changes thru Ocaml 4.10.0. Also support for Ocaml 4.11.0, but not for syntax changes therein (that'll come in the next release). It is fair to say that this release has lots of incompatibilities with the previous stream, hence the bump in major version number. Many camlp5 users will find that things continue to work; others will find that they do not, I'm happy to help them upgrade their code. I'll maintain the 7.xx stream of code as long as I can (in the face of Ocaml changes), but new function will appear here as part of 8.xx. I'll try to list big changes below: * New set of packages in META file, so you should be able to use camlp5 almost exclusively via ocamlfind (not having to resort to the camlp5{,r,o} commands). * New documentation in Sphinx/RST format (thanks to Kakadu@ !) and this is the documentation that will be updated, going forward. I'll keep the old docs around for the next few releases until the new docs are fully-updated and cleaned-up, but eventually they'll get deleted. * Support for all the syntax up to 4.10.0, including all PPX attributes and extensions, parsed, represented in parsetree, pretty-printed, passed properly to Ocaml compiler. Of course, all the syntax is supported in "original" syntax; with few exceptions, all of it is also supported in "revised" syntax. * Most of the places where Ocaml introduced module-prefixes (e.g. "M.N.(A e1 e2)") are now supported. The glaring exception is in *expressions*, and this will be fixed in a coming release. This means that instead of pattern-matching on (for instance) patterns to take apart a module-prefix, you pattern-match to extract a "longid" and that longid itself can be pattern-matched to reveal the module-identifiers. * Camlp5 version 7.11 added support for "blank module-binders" in all syntax locatinos where module-names can be introduced (to follow Ocaml's introduction of same), and also "empty" functor arguments and argument-types", viz: in struct-items: module _ = struct ... end module F = functor () -> struct ... end module F = functor (_ : sig ... end) -> struct ... end and many other locations (look in the Ocaml documentation for those locations). in signature-items: module _ : sig ... end This necessarily means that in places where there was a string (module-id binder), you'll now have a string option; in places where there was a "string * ctyp" (bound module-type) you'll have "(string option * ctyp) option". * This new version preserves compatibility with Ocaml versions >= 4.00.0, though new function (e.g. PPX syntax, is ONLY tested with ocaml version 4.10.0 and above). More precise: all pre-existing camlp5 function (module bugfixes and API changes) should work with all ocaml versions; new function only works with ocaml >= 4.10.0. * A breaking change to the Grammar API of lib/grammar.mli. This can only affect code that constructs grammar-rules programmatically, rather than by using the "pa_extend.cmo" syntax. So literally no code in camlp5 is affected. The only example I know of that is affected is the "elpi" package. Previously, a grammar-rule consisted in a tuple of a list of symbols, and an "action" (code). Now, it is a thruple of: a list of symbols, a hashcode (of the AST of the action), and the action. This change is necessary to allow left-factorization to work properly for, e.g. rules like [ [ OPT [ "foo" ] ; x = INT ] | [ OPT [ "foo" ] ; x = STRING ] ] because implicitly, the OPT symbol involves an action that returns "()". * a breaking change to the Plexing API of lib/plexing.mli. This can only affect code that defines its own lexer (for example, defining a new language wholly in camlp5). Please consult the definition of the type "Plexing.Location' for details. The only downstream package affected (that I know of) is "elpi". Camlp5 Version 7.12: -------------------- * [29 Apr 20] Added a new "topfind.camlp5" script that can be "#use"-ed just like "topfind"; it defines #camlp5o and #camlp5r commands (like topfind's #camlp4o and $camlp4r commands) * [29 Apr 20] upgrade to minimal support for Ocaml 4.11.0 (specifically 4.11.0+dev2-2020-04-22). This does not provide support for any new stuff in 4.11.0; indeed, stuff may break. This is just minimal "build and bootstrap" support. Camlp5 Version 7.11: -------------------- * [26 Mar 20] forgot to add that this supports ocaml version 4.10.0. added findlib packages for "camlp5.pr_o", "camlp5.pr_r" and "camlp5.pr_dump", which load the appropriate archives into the toploop and preprocessor. Added a "topfind.camlp5" file that can be "#use"ed instead of "topfind", and will provide the commands "#camlp5o" and "#camlp5r". * [29 Oct 19] Added compatibility with ocaml version 4.08.2. * [29 Oct 19] Added compatibility with ocaml version 4.09.1. * [03 Feb 20] Added compatibility with ocaml version 4.10+beta2. * This release supports blank module-names in binders as well as generative functors. Camlp5 Version 7.10: -------------------- * [24 Aug 19] Fixed problem of compatibility with ocaml versions less than 4.08, lost after camlp5 version 7.08, making compilation of camlp5 impossible. Due to dynamic loading. Camlp5 Version 7.09: -------------------- Camlp5 Version 7.08: -------------------- * [02 Aug 19] Updated for (incoming) ocaml version 4.10.0. * [02 Aug 19] Updated for ocaml version 4.09.0. * [27 Jun 19] Updated for ocaml version 4.08.1. * [27 Jun 19] Updated for ocaml version 4.08.0 (by github user madroach). * [27 Jun 19] Added raw string syntax (by Check Murthy). * [21 Dec 18] Fixed bug: in printer pr_o.cmo, comment did not get passed through after "let in". Camlp5 Version 7.07: -------------------- * [10 Oct 18] Changed '/bin/rm' into 'rm' in Makefiles. Can be changed by user by 'make RM=...'. * [08 Oct 18] Updated for ocaml version 4.07.2. * [19 Sep 18] Updated for ocaml upcomming version 4.08.0. * [18 Sep 18] Fixed bug: using camlp5 in ocaml toplevel, the errors locations in files (with #use) where not displayed. * [30 Aug 18] Updated for ocaml version 4.07.1 and upcomming version 4.08.0. Camlp5 Version 7.06: -------------------- * [17 Jul 18] Support nonrec type declaration (Kakadu). * [27 Jun 18] Updated for ocaml upcomming version 4.08.0. * [19 Jun 18] Add support for OCaml 4.07.0 * [19 Jun 18] Fix OPAM file [in particular avoid the filesystem deletion bug] * [06 Apr 18] Safe API for grammar extension (Pierre-Marie Pedrot). Camlp5 Version 7.05: -------------------- * [22 Feb 18] Fixed compilation failure when compiled with ocaml versions 3.08.0 to 4.02.4 due to the time when the constructor Pconst_integer was created (at ocaml version 4.03.0 actually). * [22 Feb 18] Added compatibility with (old) ocaml version 4.03.3. * [20 Feb 18] Changed "make install" and "make uninstall" so that they do nothing if "configure" had failed. Camlp5 Version 7.04: -------------------- * [19 Feb 18] Updated for ocaml version 4.06.1 and 4.06.2. * [02 Jan 18] Fixed missing treatment of native, 32 and 64 integers. Camlp5 Version 7.03: -------------------- * [20 Oct 17] Updated (again) for ocaml version 4.06.0. Camlp5 Version 7.02: -------------------- * [07 Oct 17] Updated for ocaml version 4.06.0. * [22 Jul 17] Now "a.[i] := b" generates a call to Bytes.set instead of String.set, as from ocaml version 4.02.0. * [18 Jul 17] Updated for ocaml future version 4.05.1. * [13 Jul 17] Compilation from OCaml version 4.00.0 now using parsetree distributed with OCaml (-I +compiler-libs), no more the one copied from OCaml sources (on ocaml_stuff directory). Set at "configure" time. (Not fully implemented: the magic numbers are still read in ocaml_stuff directory.) Is going to simplify Camlp5 update when new version of OCaml is released. * [11 Jul 17] Fixed problem of associativity in backtracking grammars, preventing Coq to compile with CAMLP5PARAM=f or b. Camlp5 Version 7.01: -------------------- * [26 Jun 17] Fixed bug in associativity of entry levels in extensible grammars; was introduced by an old experiment, resulting a failure in Coq test-suite/success/rewrite_strat.v. * [26 Jun 17] Fixed bug: compilation failed while using OCaml versions between 3.05 and 4.01.1, and jocaml versions. Camlp5 Version 7.00: -------------------- * [26 Jun 17] Release number is 7.00 instead of 6.18 because of big improvements on extensible grammars which can use now limited and full backtracking algorithms on demand. * [16 Jun 17] Entry.parse_token has been renamed Entry.parse_token_stream. * [04 Jun 17] Added limited backtracking (functional streams) to extensible grammars. Can be set with "Grammar.parse_algorithm Functional" or by setting the environment variable CAMLP5PARAM=f. * [01 Jun 17] Backtrack parsing seems to work well now. Camlp5 and Coq can be compiled using it by setting CAMLP5PARAM=b. * [31 May 17] Fixed bug: Entry.parse_token did not accept backtrack parsing. * [31 May 17] Fixed ocaml parsing for case of record {foo () with ...}. * [31 May 17] Fixed bug backtrack parsing for function Entry.of_parser. * [28 Apr 17] Updated for ocaml 4.04.2 which was missing. * [07 Apr 17] Updated for ocaml trunk 4.06.0 * [19 Feb 17] Fixed bug: locations of all identifiers were missing resulting of error messages giving "" as source file name and no line and column number in the source. * [04 Jan 17] Updated for ocaml trunk 4.05.0 * [09 Dec 16] Fixed bug: was not compatible with ocaml compiled with option -safe-string. * [09 Dec 16] Fixed bug: make uninstall did not take DESTDIR into account. * [07 Dec 16] Fixed bug virtual methods in signatures generated syntax tree of virtual val. Bug notified by Kakadu. Ex: "class foo : object method virtual bar : bool end" * [07 Dec 16] Fixed bug not separated idents were not allowed in 'let open' constructs. Bug notified by Kakadu. Ex: "let open Mod1.Mod2.Mod3 in ..." * [06 Dec 16] Fixed bug dumping module definitions with constraints. Bug notified by Kakadu. Ex: module type Item = sig type t end module type Sig = sig type t module Node : Item end module Make (S : Sig) : Sig with module Node = S.Node and type t = S.t * [06 Dec 16] Fixed bug extra option word during pr_dump for optional args. Bug notified by Kakadu. Ex: "class t : ?name:string -> object end" * [05 Dec 16] Fixed bug dumping of open object types. Bug notified by Kakadu. Ex: "type t = " * [05 Dec 16] Fixed bug dump parsetree without throughing away module type annotation. Bug notified by Kakadu. Ex: "module rec A : sig end = struct end" Camlp5 Version 6.17: -------------------- * [09 Sep 16] Added pretty print of type [< ... ] when ended with "> `ident". * [24 Jul 16] Added compatibility with ocaml 4.04.0 and 4.04.1. * [24 Jul 16] Added compatibility with ocaml 4.03.1. Camlp5 Version 6.16: -------------------- * [28 Apr 16] Fixed problems of compatibility with previous versions of ocaml. Camlp5 Version 6.15: -------------------- * [23 Jan 16] Fixed bug on optional types (ocaml 4.02). * [15 Jan 16] Fixed bug on methods wrongly interpreted as vals. * [05 Jan 16] Updated for ocaml trunk 4.03.0 (git version be2a7e2f830911b331657b8cfa462f5219dfec5b) * [26 Nov 15] Updated again for ocaml trunk current version (4.03.0). * [23 Sep 15] Updated for ocaml trunk current version (4.03.0). Camlp5 Version 6.14: -------------------- * [30 Jul 15] Updated for ocaml version 4.02.3 and 4.02.4 Camlp5 Version 6.13: -------------------- * [20 Apr 15] Accept 'fun/try' case list like the change of 22nd Apr 13 on 'match' in revised syntax, allowing them to write "|" .. "end" or "[" .. "]", both being accepted. * [12 May 15] Updated for ocaml version 4.02.2 Camlp5 Version 6.12: -------------------- * [17 Apr 14] Updated for ocaml trunk (4.02.0) svn rev 14621. * [14 Apr 14] Updated for ocaml version 4.01.1. * [19 Dec 13] Dummy line numbers are now 1 instead of -1 to prevent errors that sometimes happen later at assembling phase. * [19 Dec 13] Fixed problem in top/Makefile when OCLIBDIR contains spaces. * [06 Sep 13] Added flag Grammar.utf8_print to print grammars entries (with Grammar.Entry.print) displaying strings in utf-8 (default: True). Usefull e.g. for Coq in command 'Print Grammar constr' when using utf8. * [27 Aug 13] Fixed bug in normal syntax: "let f { x } = ...", "{ x }" and "let open ..." were refused. Camlp5 Version 6.11: -------------------- * [22 Jul 13] Updated for ocaml version 4.01.0 * [02 Jul 13] Added 'MLast.loc_of_with_constr'. * [02 Jul 13] Fixed bug toplevel with revised syntax; "= 'a" was missing in output in that example: # module type A = sig module type S = 'a; end; module type A = sig module type S; end * [02 Jul 13] Now accept lowercase ident for module types, like ocaml does. Accepted also in revised syntax. Camlp5 Version 6.10: -------------------- * [19 Jun 13] Updated for ocaml version 4.01.0 * [14 Jun 13] (experimental) Now, in revised syntax, a "." followed by a newline is interpreted as a ";", allowing to end phrases with ".". Drawback: will syntax error when writing a record/module access in two lines ending the first one with "." like: foo. bar Camlp5 Version 6.09: -------------------- * [22 Apr 13] Accept now "match with | | ... end" in revised syntax, with a required "|" in the first case, as alternative syntax for match. * [19 Apr 13] Added function 'Pcaml.value greek_ascii_equiv' giving an ascii equivalent to a greek (utf8) letter representing a type parameter. E.g. 'a' for 'α', 'b' for 'β', and so on. * [19 Mar 13] Fixed bug no locations built in some cases of constructors. * [15 Mar 13] Updated for ocaml version 4.00.2. * [13 Mar 13] Fixed bug: in toplevel, the highlighting of errors did not work. * [13 Mar 13] Added option '-dquot' to specify the default quotation name. and the ability to use "#option" directive with two parameters. Therefore, we can use either (e.g.): -dquot "expr" in the command line of camlp5 or #option "-dquot" "expr" inside a file. Camlp5 Version 6.08: -------------------- * [06 Mar 13] Now 'make' displays a message how to compile, instead of doing 'make out'. Old behaviour of 'make' must be now 'make out'. * [28 Feb 13] Now accept identifiers starting with a greek letter as variable names. * [28 Jan 13] Fixed bug: DEFINE FOO=32 while using pa_macro.cmo did not work due to a bad order in grammar insertion. * [08 Oct 12] Fixed bug: parsing greek letters as type variable in constructor declaration did not work when building Camlp5. Camlp5 Version 6.07: -------------------- * [12 Sep 12] Added compatibility with OCaml 4.00.1. * [06 Jun 12] Fixed bug: open record patterns {a=b;c=d;_} did not work. Camlp5 Version 6.06: -------------------- * [01 Jun 12] Added compatibility with OCaml 4.00.0 and (incoming) 4.01.0. * [18 Mar 12] Fixed bug in pr_o: [(let module M = ... in x); y] was displayed without parentheses. * [14 Mar 12] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.12.2. * [02 Mar 12] Added compatibility with JoCaml 3.12.0 and 3.12.1. * [02 Mar 12] Completed with all JoCaml statements in ocaml syntax. Todo: pretty print. Camlp5 Version 6.05: -------------------- * [02 Mar 12] Added compatibility with JoCaml trunk. * [02 Mar 12] Added option -oname in configure to change ocaml command name. The bytecode compiler, native compiler and bytecode runtime are respectively c, opt and run. The default is 'ocaml', implying that the executables are ocamlc, ocamlopt and ocamlrun. Setting it to 'jocaml', fo example, use jocamlc, jocamlopt and jocamlrun. Camlp5 Version 6.04: -------------------- * [01 Mar 12] Added option -name in configure to change command name useful to have transitional and strict versions installed with different names. Default: camlp5. * [01 Mar 12] The default mode at configuration time is now 'strict'. Camlp5 Version 6.03: -------------------- * [09 Jan 12] Updated compatibility with OCaml trunk version (3.13.0). Camlp5 Version 6.02.3: ---------------------- * [20 Oct 11] Updated compatibility with OCaml current version 3.13.0. * [20 Sep 11] Added missing syntax "_" in ending patt records (rev: "_ = _"). * [20 Sep 11] Fixed bug pattern -1L was refused in normal syntax. * [21 May 11] Fixed bug impacting files using q_ast.cmo extension (bad ast). * [03 May 11] Fixed bug: lexeme errors in revised syntax + utf8. * [24 Mar 11] Fixed bug: M.(a+b) was refused in normal syntax. * [16 Mar 11] Fixed bug: incorrect compilation of label patterns of the form ~a:b (or ~{a = b} in revised syntax) in class declarations. * [16 Mar 11] Fixed bug: error while printing label patterns ~a:b with pr_o.cmo (error message "labels not pretty printed (in patt)"). Camlp5 Version 6.02.2: ---------------------- * [15 Mar 11] Fixed bug: bad AST generated for class identifier prefixed by a module. * [15 Mar 11] Fixed differences of locations between OCaml and camlp5o (e.g. in .annot files) * [17 Feb 11] Pretty module now considers strings as utf8 encoded (impacts computation of strings lengths). * [04 Feb 11] Revised syntax: completed syntax multi labels, ~{x=y; z=t} (equivalent to ~{x=y} ~{z=t}) in patterns (in 6.02.1 was implemented only in expressions). * [28 Jan 11] Added installed module 'Reloc': relocations and equalities over syntax trees. * [26 Jan 11] Fixed bug in camlp5o.opt: did not accept '$' as token. * [18 Jan 11] Fixed bug: private flags in type manifest were not correctly treated. * [06 Dec 10] Fixed bug in pr_o.cmo: label expressions were not correctly pretty printed: f ~a gave f a. Camlp5 Version 6.02.1: ---------------------- * [05 Dec 10] In module Grammar.Entry.print, added extra parameter ppf to print in other formatter than (the default) stdout. * [21 Nov 10] Revised syntax: added syntax multi labels, ~{x=y; z=t} equivalent to ~{x=y} ~{z=t} * [16 Nov 10] Updated compatibility with OCaml version 3.13.0-gadt. Camlp5 Version 6.02.0: ---------------------- * [16 Nov 10] Fixed bug in pa_o.ml: !foo.(bar) was interpreted as !(foo.(bar)) instead of (!foo).(bar). Fixed compilation bug in pa_o.ml in transitional mode. * [16 Nov 10] Added parsing and printing utf8 greek letters and arrow in revised syntax. Camlp5 Version 6.02: -------------------- * [12 Nov 10] Added compatibility with OCaml GADT version. * [12 Nov 10] pa_macro: added ability to use ELSIFDEF in match cases (the ending ELSE part being still optional). * [08 Nov 10] Fixed bugs 1/ in pa_o: !Foo.bar was interpreted as (!Foo).bar instead of !(Foo.bar) 2/ in top/camlp5_top.cma: the file ast2pt.cmo was missing. Camlp5 Version 6.01: -------------------- * [03 Nov 10] Added in revised syntax for labels ~{lab x = y} as shortcut for ~{lab = fun x -> y}. * [30 Oct 10] Fixed bug in 'configure': option -libdir did not work. Camlp5 Version 6.00: -------------------- * [28 Oct 10] Updated compatibility with OCaml trunk version (3.13.0). * [01 Oct 10] Make compilation with "make -j" (parallel make) work. * [29 Sep 10] Fixed bug when using constructors named 'True' and 'False'. * [24 Sep 10] Fixed many bugs of parsing comments (typically about quotes). * [23 Sep 10] Fixed bug in pretty printing comments containing '"'. * [22 Sep 10] Fixed bug bad result of unary minus functions. * [22 Sep 10] Fixed bug in printing parameters of types of 'with constraint'. * [22 Sep 10] Fixed bug in revised syntax for class_types. Now application. does not need parenthesis any more (like for other entries of that kind). * [19 Sep 10] In grammars, added list with separator with optional ending separator (LIST0 .. SEP OPT_SEP and LIST1 .. SEP OPT_SEP). * [19 Sep 10] Completed missing statements in particular in objects, classes, and first class modules. * [08 Sep 10] Added option '-flag O' of pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo which add location comments in the output. * [08 Sep 10] Added new chapters in the documentation: - Directives - Redefining OCaml syntax * [08 Sep 10] Fixed option '-flag E' (equilibrate cases) of pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo which did not work. * [06 Sep 10] Changed revised syntax of 'inherit something [params]' into 'inherit [params] something' (like in normal syntax). * [06 Sep 10] Added missing statements: - 'module type of' as module type, - '(module ... : ...)' as expression, - '(val ...)' ('value' in revised syntax) as module expression. * [02 Sep 10] Added directive "#option" (in files, not in toplevel). * [02 Sep 10] pa_macro.cmo: phrases inside IFDEF statements now are implementation or interface items, which means: - ability to use directives which are, therefore, conditional. - in revised syntax must end with semicolon (incompatibility with previous versions of Camlp5 where these semicolons are syntax errors). - in revised syntax, ability to put several phrases without having to use "declare .. end". * [30 Aug 10] pa_macro.cmo: added ability to use ELSIFDEF and ELSIFNDEF in expressions, structure items and signature items. * [27 Aug 10] Fixed bug in pa_macro.cmo A AND B computed B AND B. * [26 Aug 10] Fixed wrong behaviour: char '"' was printed '\"'. * [25 Aug 10] Added option -no-opt in configure, not to use .opt versions of OCaml compilers. * [20 Aug 10] Added compatibility for OCaml version 3.11.3. * [18 Aug 10] Added function "get" in library module "Ploc", and a statement "lprintf" similar to "pprintf" added by the syntax extension kit "pa_pprintf.cmo". Camlp5 Version 5.15: -------------------- * [09 Aug 10] Updated compatibility for OCaml current version 3.12.1. * [09 Aug 10] Upgraded compatibility for OCaml released version 3.12.0. * [29 Jul 10] Added ability to write AST quotations with a colon before the '<' (e.g. "<:expr:< foo >>") which, in pattern position, generates a binding of the variable "loc" at the top node: 1/ normal usage (still working): "fun [ <:expr< x >> -> 0 ]" which is equivalent to: "fun [ MLast.ExLid _ (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ] 2/ new usage: "fun [ <:expr:< x >> -> 0 ]" which is equivalent to: "fun [ MLast.ExLid loc (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ] * [21 Jun 10] Added compatibility for OCaml trunk version 3.13.0. * [29 Apr 10] Fixed bug in pr_depend.cmo: a.B.c did not add module B. Camlp5 Version 5.14: -------------------- * [28 Apr 10] Updated compatibility for OCaml current version 3.12.0. * [31 Mar 10] Fixed bug in pr_o.cmo: error message when using "#use" Camlp5 Version 5.13: -------------------- * [02 Nov 09] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.11.2. * [02 Nov 09] Updated compatibility with OCaml 3.12.0. * [30 Jul 09] Added 'lazy' patterns (added in OCaml version 3.11). * [09 Jun 09] Fixed bug in pr_r.cmo: did not always break after "in" (in "let..in" statements) even with -flag l. * [08 Jun 09] Fixed bug in pr_r.cmo: missing case "#use" for structure and signature items. Camlp5 Version 5.12: -------------------- * [23 May 09] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.11.1. * [31 Dec 08] In macros (pa_macro.cmo): - added ability to use IFDEF and IFNDEF for record labels declarations. Camlp5 Version 5.11: -------------------- * [19 Dec 08] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.12.0. Camlp5 Version 5.10: -------------------- * [16 Oct 08] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.11.0. * [01 Aug 08] Added flag "Plexer.utf8_lexing" to specify that the lexers built by "Plexer.gmake ()" must consider the input as utf-8 encoded. Camlp5 Version 5.09: -------------------- * [05 Jun 08] Changed all '#!/bin/bash" in shells scripts into '#!/bin/sh' and changed all $(...) into `...` because there are compatibilities problems according to Unix versions. * [31 Mar 08] Fixed bug: "let f ~_x () = ()" generated syntax error. * [31 Mar 08] Fixed bug: "x $ y" generated syntax error (normal syntax). * [02 Jan 08] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.10.3. Camlp5 Version 5.08: -------------------- * [08 Feb 08] Fixed bug in normal syntax: a.{x,y} (access to big array) was interpreted as a.{(x,y)}. * [22 Jan 08] Added missing cases in printers pr_o and pr_r which displayed the message "unable to print ...". * [02 Jan 08] Added compatibility with OCaml 3.09.4 and 3.10.2. * [21 Jan 08] Fixed bug under windows: the file META could not be build if the library path name contained colons. * [13 Jan 08] Added missing man page for camlp5sch (link to the same man page as camlp5). * [05 Jan 08] Added "pr_extprint.cmo", printer rebuilding EXTEND_PRINTER statements in their original syntax. * [05 Jan 08] Fixed bug in EXTEND_PRINTER statement: the match cases with "when" did not work. Camlp5 Version 5.07: -------------------- * [02 Jan 08] Added "pprintf" statement to use the Camlp5 pretty print system more easily and shortly. * [27 Dec 07] Added function [Grammar.Entry.parse_all] returning the list of all solutions when using the parsing algorithm [Backtracking]. Camlp5 Version 5.06: -------------------- * [19 Dec 07] Upgraded to add compatibilitly with OCaml version 3.10.1. Camlp5 Version 5.05: -------------------- * [17 Dec 07] Added function [Pcaml.quotation_location] returning the location of the quotation in the source in the context of a quotation expander. * [04 Dec 07] Added generation of file META for ocamlfind in directory etc (built but not installed). * [28 Nov 07] Upgraded to reflect changes done in parse tree in current OCaml (version 3.11+dev6). * [27 Nov 07] Fixed bug in installation. Some files where installed in the bin directory instead of lib directory. * [27 Nov 07] Fixed bug in parsing comments: comments containing '\' where incorrectly parsed. Camlp5 Version 5.04: -------------------- * [24 Nov 07] Fixed bug in install under MSVC Windows: object and library files were not installed (using wrong extensions). * [24 Nov 07] Fixed bug under Windows: line numbers in error messages were wrong (twice the normal value). * [24 Nov 07] Added ability to change the parsing algorithm of extensible grammars, with the function "Grammar.set_algorithm" whose parameter can be "predictive" or "backtracking". * [22 Nov 07] Added backtracking parsers. Functions defined in the module Fstream (already containing functional streams and parsers). Syntax added in pa_fstream.cmo (already containing syntax for functinal streams and parsers). The new syntax uses "bparser" instead of "fparser" and a backtracking parser returns, together with its result and its remaining stream, the continuation to compute the next solution. Camlp5 Version 5.03: -------------------- * [20 Nov 07] Added commands mkcamlp5 and mkcamlp5.opt to build camlp5 executables with predefined loaded modules. Added installation of ocpp with name ocpp5, instead of just ocpp. * [19 Nov 07] Added more installed cmx and cmxa files to allow building native code linking of all combinations of Camlp5. * [14 Nov 07] Fixed bug in pr_o.cmo: failed with printing "{a.(i) with ...}". * [14 Nov 07] Fixed bug under Windows for the printers (pr_o.cmo, pr_r.cmo and pr_scheme.cmo): extra return character '\r' was added at end of lines. * [09 Nov 07] Fixed bug in camlp5o.opt in strict mode: did not parse correctly, in particular type expression (the version "camlp5o" without ".opt" however worked). * [29 Oct 07] Added [Pcaml.inter_phrases], a way to set, by program, the value of the "-sep" option of the printers kits. * [28 Oct 07] Fixed bug in pa_fstream.cmo (functional parsers): the keyword after "match with" was "parser" instead of "fparser" and its code was wrong. * [27 Oct 07] Added a default lexing buffer (in module [Plexing]) for pa_lexer.cmo: then, the programmer does not need to write it any more. Camlp5 Version 5.02: -------------------- * [14 Oct 07] Changed 'pa_lex.cmo' into 'pa_lexer.cmo' with a different syntax (see the documentation). * [14 Oct 07] In the EXTEND statement, added "LIKE s" as possible level position to specify a level containing a rule containing "s" in its keywords or tokens. * [11 Oct 07] Rewritten parsers and printers in Scheme syntax. Deleted old module Spretty. Camlp5 Version 5.01: -------------------- * [06 Oct 07] Fixed bug in grammars: there was a parsing confusion with entries with qualified names with same final identifier, resulting bad results. Example: (qualified names "Prim.ident" and "Constr.ident" have the same final identifier "ident"). EXTEND Prim.ident: [ [ ... ] ]; Constr.ident: [ [ ... ] ]; END; * [05 Oct 07] In Scheme syntax (pa_scheme.cmo), added "type*" (symmetric to "define*") and "exceptionrebind". * [04 Oct 07] Added flag C in pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo to add comments inside phrases (default = True). * [01 Oct 07] Added flag E in pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo to ask to equilibrate cases in 'match', 'if', 'parse', 'EXTEND' statements, i.e if one case does not fit on the line, all cases must be cut (default = False). * [01 Oct 07] Added module "Diff" in the library (general comparison of two arrays). Implemented with the same algorithm as the Unix 'diff' command. * [01 Oct 07] Fixed bug in pa_o.cmo (normal syntax) introduced in version 5.00. The example: "function Atom atext as cur :: tl' -> 0" did not parse, printing the error "incorrect alias pattern". Camlp5 Version 5.00: -------------------- * In Camlp5 compiled distributions, there are now two modes. If one wants to compile Camlp5, the 'configure' script can select the mode: The two modes are: - transitional mode: the syntax tree is compatible with the previous version; users don't have to change their programs, but in the syntax tree quotations introduced by the new parsing kit 'q_ast.cmo', the antiquotations are not available. - strict mode: the syntax tree is not compatible with the previous version. The user programs may compile without change, but may not. It depends on the fact that these programs use the syntax tree with their constructors forms instead of their quotation forms. There is a new feature: the syntax tree quotations in user syntax, introduced by the new parsing kit 'q_ast.cmo". * [25 Sep 07] Fixed bug: if parsing error at end of file, the error message printed a bad line number. * [17 Sep 07] Added [Ploc.call_with], a pervasive function. * [15 Sep 07] Added 'q_ast.cmo': this is the syntax tree quotations in the current syntax, including the possible user syntax extensions. The antiquotations work only in 'strict' mode, not in 'transitional' mode. * [15 Sep 07] In module Pcaml, added grammar entries 'ipatt', 'match_case', 'constructor_declaration', 'with_constr', 'poly_variant'. * [09 Sep 07] In macros (pa_macro.cmo): - changed parameters syntax: now in curried form instead of parentheses, - added ability to define macro type expressions in signatures, e.g.: DEFINE V t = t -> t - added ability to use IFDEF and IFNDEF for constructors declarations and matchs cases. * [08 Sep 07] Fixed bug in normal syntax (pa_o.cmo): class foo : ?foo:unit -> bar type foo = ?bar: unit -> unit;; were accepted but not with space(s) after the colon: class foo : ?foo: unit -> bar type foo = ?bar : unit -> unit;; * [06 Sep 07] Fixed problem of bad errors locations in Lisp and Scheme syntaxes. * [01 Sep 07] Renamed modules Stdpp into Ploc and Token into Plexing. Changed the names of some of their definitions. Backward compatibility assumed. * [31 Aug 07] For packagers: added DESTDIR in Makefiles to allow installation in fake root directories. Usage: make install DESTDIR=fake-root-dir Camlp5 Version 4.08: -------------------- * [] Updated documentation. * [30 Aug 07] Added IFDEF macros for signatures (.mli files). * [26 Aug 07] Added left factorization for consecutive rules of parsers (and lexers). * [21 Aug 07] Added equality functions over syntax trees in module Pcaml. * [21 Aug 07] Improved compiled version (camlp5o.opt) to add the fact that the grammar is LL(n) for rules starting with n terminals. * [20 Aug 07] Updated library interface comments. * [19 Aug 07] Added option -define with 'pa_macro.cmo' which prints the predefined macros and exit. * [16 Aug 07] Added pa_extprint.cmo, a new syntax for extensible pretty printers adding a statement EXTEND_PRINTER (cf files pr_r.cmo and pr_o.ml as examples). Added library module Eprinter. Changes (simplifications) in interfaces of Pcaml for the printers. Camlp5 Version 4.07: -------------------- * [02 Aug 07] Fixed bug: option -o did not work for pr_r.cmo and pr_o.cmo (was always stdout). * [01 Aug 07] In EXTEND statement, added symbol FLAG: like OPT but return a boolean value. The antiquotation kind "flag" must be used in this case, but the "opt" still works by compatibility. * [30 Jul 07] Fixed bug in normal syntax: let C x = C 1 was not accepted. * [30 Jul 07] Changed pretty printing *normal* syntax: let C x = .. printed like that, *not* transformed into let x = match .. with C x -> x. Camlp5 Version 4.06: -------------------- * [25 Jul 07] Fixed bug: in normal syntax, the declaration of a constructor named "True" or "False" did not work. * [25 Jul 07] While expanding stream parsers, transform unused bound variables into wildcards to prevent compiler warnings. * [21 Jul 07] Fixed bug in normal syntax and printing of normal syntax: "poly type" was accepted with revised syntax, i.e. with "!" at beginning and displayed like it. Fixed also the printing of abstract module type which was not implemented. Added printing syntax of fun binding fof class parameters. * [20 Jul 07] Added revised syntax for bigarrays (same than normal syntax) and pretty print them in their initial syntax. * [18 Jul 07] In Grammar.Entry.print, local entries are displayed with a star character "*". * [18 Jul 07] In Grammar module, added type 'parsable', functions 'parsable' and 'Entry.parse_parsable' like for the functorial interface. Camlp5 Version 4.05: -------------------- * [16 Jul 07] Fixed bug in normal syntax: optional semicolon was no more accepted at end of stream patterns. * [16 Jul 07] Fixed syntax problems with "~id:" and "~id :" (with a space). Camlp5 Version 4.04: -------------------- * [11 Jul 07] Renamed application as "camlp5". * [11 Jul 07] Fixed compilation problems with ocaml version 3.08.1. Camlp4s Version 4.03: --------------------- * [10 Jul 07] Added argument "-name" in "configure" to specify another name of commands and libraries (default = camlp4). E.g. "configure -name camlp5" will build "camlp5", "camlp5r", "camlp5o", "camlp5.1", and so on, and the library directory will be installed in ocaml library directory as name "camlp5". * [10 Jul 07] Deleted command "mkcamlp4" which seems not to work any more. This will be fixed in a future version. Camlp4s Version 4.02: --------------------- * [08 Jul 07] Added missing compatibility with ocaml 3.10.0 * [05 Jul 07] Rebuilt pretty printers with new pretty printer module * [27 Jun 07] Added private flag in type declarations and with constraints * [21 Jun 07] Added "let..in" in parsers * [14 Jun 07] Added html documentation for: - the "extfun" statement - the "fparser" statement - the "lexer" statement - the "parser" statement - the "#pragma" directive - the module Pretty - the new pretty print in Camlp4 (using Pretty and "extfun") * [14 Jun 07] Library module Sformat renamed Pretty. The first parameter of the function horiz_vertic is now a function of type "unit -> 'a". * [31 May 07] Quotation "row_field" renamed "poly_variant". * [03 May 07] Fixed bug in pr_o: did not print "let f ?a = ()". Camlp4s Version 4.01: --------------------- * [27 Apr 07] Added compatibility with ocaml 3.11 Camlp4s Version 4.00: --------------------- * [31 Jan 07] Added a new syntax, "lexer", to write parsers of characters in a shorter way. New syntax extension "pa_lex.cmo". * [26 Jan 07] Deleted "LOCATE" lexing token kind and associated parsing stuff. Seems to be an old thing never used. * [20 Jan 07] Added "lookahead" stream pattern component kind. syntax ::= "?=" list lookhd_patt sep_by "|" lookhd_patt ::= "[" list pattern sep_by ";" "]" Checks the first stream elements against the pattern, without removing them from the stream (but possibly unfreezing them), continues the stream pattern if ok, fails (Stream.Failure or Stream.Error depending on the position of the component) if not. If there are more than one lookahead pattern, they must be of the same length. Examples in lib/plexer.ml. * [31 Dec 06] Added the ability to add "!" (in Revised syntax) or "?!" (in normal syntax) after a stream parser component to hint the preprocessor that the called parser cannot fail (which must be true, but not checked) which allows shorter code. E.g. parser [: x = f; y = g ! :] -> (x, y) This example is equivalent to: parser [: x = f; s :] -> let y = g s in (x, y) * [19 Dec 06] Added "pa_pragma.cmo" adding the directive "#pragma " which executes in the context of the preprocessor. * [16 Dec 06] Added ability to add directives: "Pcaml.add_directive". * [05 Dec 06] Fixed old bug: "camlp4 foo/bar.cmo" now searchs from the current directory (i.e in its subdirectory "foo"), instead of searching in the path. Before, we had to write "camlp4 ./foo/bar.cmo". * [01 Dec 06] In "pa_macro.cmo", the expression after IFDEF can use the infix operators OR and AND, the prefix one NOT and expressions between parentheses. * [01 Dec 06] The same distribution can compile with several versions of OCaml. After "./configure", the good version of OCaml interfaces are selected. * [01 Dec 06] The type "location" is now abstract. Defined in stdpp.mli. * [01 Dec 06] First distributed version; started from old camlp4 version 3.06 and updated.
