Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: major
Version: 3.12.1
Fixed in version: 3.12.1+dev
Category: -for Camlp4 use https://github.com/ocaml/camlp4/issues
Has duplicate: #5617
Monitored by: @diml @hcarty

Bug description

Camlp4 apparently has problems parsing infix definition that are keywords.
It dies on

let ( or ) l1 l2 = []

or

external (or) : bool -> bool -> bool = "%sequor"

with parse errors.

Note that the external line appears in pervasives.ml[i], which
means that camlp4o cannot parse pervasives.ml[i].

I thought that the specification allowed uses of infix-keywords, but not their redefinition, and that the current behavior was a non-specified implementation choice. I was wrong: the grammar in the manual allows those special cases as part of the "infix-op" syntactic class, which can be used in a let-definition.

"or" was missing to the list of infix keywords (transformed to lidents by a token filter). I added it.
