Summary

0005293: report clasing lines and more detailled reasons if circular builds are detected

Description

Hello,

the actual behaviour is not very helpful. If the compiler detects circular builds, it will be very hard to find out, what is the reason for this. It would be more helpful if the compiler reports the lines in the involved modules. Very very helpful would be if the compiler also reports a more detailled explanation and give hints for resolving such conflicts.

(0006084) doligez (manager) 2011-08-04 17:19	What do you call a circular build? Are you talking about the compiler or about the ocamlbuild tool?

(0006085) art1 (reporter) 2011-08-05 07:58 edited on: 2011-08-05 07:59	A very simple example: Module foo.ml: let foo () = 1;; let bar () = Foo.foo ();; Ocamlbuild means: ocamlbuild foo.native Circular build detected (foo.cmx already seen in [ foo.cmx; foo.native ]) Compilation unsuccessful after building 3 targets (0 cached) in 00:00:00. Hope, this helps... :) Bye Andreas
