[Caml-list] Print dependencies of a module, and other useful functions
Richard Jones
Are there any equivalents to the following functions / programs for
OCaml?
'gcc -MM' / 'gcc -MMD'
Print dependencies of a module. Useful for me for building
robust Makefiles.
'nm' / 'nm -D'
List symbols exported by an OCaml bytecode "binary". Would
help me solve my ongoing Dynlink problems.
'objdump'
List other useful information from an OCaml bytecode "binary".
Also in the debugger, how can I get OCaml to display the parameters
being passed to a function in the stack trace. At the moment I just
see things like:
#0 Pc : 453960 ZAssocs char 2550
#1 Pc : 452492 ZAssocs char 5608
#2 Pc : 14044 List char 1961
#3 Pc : 476772 Model char 24895
#4 Pc : 476772 Model char 24895
#5 Pc : 476772 Model char 24895
#6 Pc : 476800 Model char 24880
#7 Pc : 513364 Simulator char 4635
#8 Pc : 565728 Main char 14244
#9 Pc : 446708 Lib char 711
#10 Pc : 565972 Main char 14494
which is not very useful. It would be nice to show args too.

Try looking at tools/objinfo.ml. I have a patch for it to support also
*.cmx* files. You'll find it attached.

Have you proposed this patch upstream?
I'm using objinfo to check for consistencies over a set of ocaml
"objects" and I find really tedious the lack of *.cmx* support ...
Cheers.

I'm not sure about architectures that lack native compiler (I don't have
access for any for that matter). That's why I didn't propse it.

Agreed, it's really useful. It'd be even better if it could
deconstruct the various types of compiled binaries that
ocamlc/ocamlopt can produce.

All new technology is irrelevant until it is taken up by the public.

Let us test it in the debian package. We have 11 supported
architectures, Only 6 of them being supported by the native compiler.
And Stefano has access to all of them (except possibly mips and mipsel i
think).
