Original bug ID: 5216
Reporter: @dra27
Status: acknowledged (set by @damiendoligez on 2011-05-17T14:38:54Z)
Resolution: open
Priority: normal
Severity: feature
Version: 3.12.0
Category: tools (ocaml{lex,yacc,dep,debug,...})
Related to: #3725

Bug description

Imagine A.ml contains simply the line:

B.foo ();;

When determining dependencies for A.cmx, ocamldep will look to see if it can find B.mli (in which case it will add B.cmi to the dependencies) or B.ml (in which case it will add B.cmx).

It doesn't however recognise B.mll or B.mly as containing the module B.

Given that ocamllex and ocamlyacc are official tools in the OCaml system, shouldn't ocamldep take their input files into account too? i.e. if I have A.ml (as above) and B.mll or B.mly in the same directory then ocamldep should include B.cmx in the dependencies for A.cmx.

Additional information

This looks related to Issue #4992, just that I'm suggesting that .mll and .mly should be synonyms for .ml by default.
