Summary

0003725: Ocamldep should search for .mly & .mll files

Description

Ocamldep outputs a dependency only for those modules which it can find in the
current search path. However, this search only looks for files ending in .ml or
.mli. Thus if a module uses a lexer or parser defined in a .mll or .mly file,
the dependency will not be shown if these have not yet been compiled into their
respective implementation files. As I typically setup my projects to build
dependencies before any compilation (including that of .mll and .mly files), it
would be nice if ocamldep searched for these file extensions as well.

Notes
(0003676) nogin (reporter) 2006-06-12 22:02	I think that .mly and .mll are just one case of a more general problem - people often use various tools for generating the source files. And those tools are often custom to a project and use custom extensions. For example, the Harmony project generates .mly from .srcy. My proposal would be to have ocamldep take a list of "implementation suffixes" and another list of "interface suffixes" on the command line. This way ocamldep without any special options would be equivalent to something like ocamldep -intf .mli -intf .mly -impl .mli -impl .mll -impl .mly and people with non-standard extensions would be able to add them to the list ("-impl .srcy").
