[Caml-list] [Ann] OCamlspotter 1.1
Jun Furuse
I have updated OCamlSpotter, a compiler enhancement for source code browsing,
to version 1.1, which is aimed for OCaml 3.11.2 and some enhancements
since its first release.
OCamlSpotter is a tool which finds definition places of various names
(identifiers, type names, modules, etc) in OCaml programs automatically for you.
The original OCaml's -annot option provides the same sort of functionality but
OCamlSpotter provides much more powerful browsing: it can find
definitions hidden in the deep nested module aliases and functor applications.
- The -annot option of ocamlc and ocamlopt is extended and creates
<module>.spot files (<module>.spit for .mli), which record the location
information of the names defined and used in the module.
- A small application ocamlspot provides automatic where-about spotting
of the definition of the name you are interested in, using <module>.spot files
created by the patched compilers.
- ocamlspot.el provides interactive ocaml-spotting of definition
locations in emacs.
- Interfaces for other editors such as vi could be built easily, if you want.
This release of OCamlSpotter is 1.1. Some bugs found in 1.1rc1 were fixed.
