Changes are:
- compatibility with recent versions of ocaml
- possible use of IFDEF and IFNDEF in record labels declarations
- addition of Plexer.utf8_lexing
Changes:
* [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 is a preprocessor and pretty-printer for OCaml programs. It also
provides parsing and printing tools.
As a preprocessor, it allows to:
- extend the syntax of OCaml,
- redefine the whole syntax of the language.
As a pretty printer, it allows to:
- display OCaml programs in an elegant way,
- convert from one syntax to another,
- check the results of syntax extensions.
Camlp5 also provides some parsing and pretty printing tools:
- extensible grammars
- extensible printers
- stream parsers and lexers
- pretty print module
It works as a shell command and can also be used in the OCaml toplevel.
