Target version: 4.02.0+dev
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)
Related to: #6202

Bug description

Subject explains it all. It would be useful for cleanly setting flags like -rectypes on a per-file basis independent of buildsystem, and is also a nice companion to [@@@ocaml.warning].

I hope this is a joke.

We've been discussing such a feature on IRC (in seriousness, if you need to know), and I thought it would be worth having reasons to/against weighed on the bugtracker.

I can see it being useful in some cases.

Would these take precedence over OCAMLPARAM? I can see arguments against in either case.

I imagine such a feature taking precedence over any environment-based setting.

I imagine such a feature taking precedence over any environment-based setting.

Given the intended use of OCAMLPARAM, that would be really bad. And indeed i'd like to know what [@@@ocaml.warning] does in this respect.

I've thought more on this issue. Here is the list of flags that at all make sense to specify in the file:

-ppx, -[un]safe-string

Options like -compact aren't supported by ocamlc. -w is covered by [@@@ocaml.warning]. Anything else either clearly belongs to buildsystem (like -noassert, -labels, etc) or doesn't make sense to use for single files (like -rectypes, -short-paths, -labels, etc).

-ppx can be solved with a ppx that reads annotations.

-safe-string is probably not important enough.

So I think this issue isn't worth the hassle and can be closed.
