OCaml shebang syntax error #5363
Comments

Comment author: @protz Hi, That definitely seems wrong to me. Either you're developing a shell script, or you're writing a compiled program. The tasks achieved by the two styles are so different that I'm having a hard time seeing why you're switching back-and-forth between interpreted and compiled. If you're just testing some features, why don't you just run ocaml hello.ml inside a terminal? Cheers, jonathan |

Bug description
$ cat hello.ml
#!/usr/bin/env ocamlrun ocaml
let rec main = print_string "Hello World!\n"
$ ./hello.ml
Hello World!
$ ocaml hello.ml
Hello World!
$ ocamlc -o hello hello.ml
File "hello.ml", line 1, characters 0-1:
Error: Syntax error
$ ocamlopt -o hello hello.ml
File "hello.ml", line 1, characters 0-1:
Error: Syntax error
Similar to Erlang, OCaml permits shebangs in scripted mode, but borks in compiled mode. Please instruct the ocamlc and ocamlopt compilers to ignore shebangs.
