Summary

0005459: ocamlc -o not respected for C files

Description

When compiling a C file with ocamlc, the -o flag can be set but is not used. It is occasionally useful however, for example when different objects files may be produced by defining some macros.

Notes
(0006710) lefessan (developer) 2012-01-17 23:21	It looks like there are still some C compilers that don't comply to the -o option. If we don't use the C compiler -o option, ocamlc has to rename the object file itself, but then, it might clash with parallel compilation. For these reasons, this feature is "suspended" until all known C compilers implement the -o option correctly. Note that it is still possible to use -o with C files using the -ccopt option, if you don't care too much about portability across C compilers.
