Original bug ID: 6589
Reporter: @hcarty
Status: resolved (set by @damiendoligez on 2017-03-01T14:17:22Z)
Resolution: suspended
Priority: normal
Severity: feature
Version: 4.02.0+beta1 / +rc1
Category: -for ocamlbuild use https://github.com/ocaml/ocamlbuild/issues
Related to: #6548
Monitored by: @gasche @ygrek @hcarty

Bug description

There is a parameterized "open()" tag available in ocamlbuild. It does not enforce an explicit dependency between files. A means for expressing such explicit dependencies would be nice to have for the open() tag and in general.

Additional information

See PR #6548 (comments #6584#c12213 and #6584#c12215) for the initial discussion.

Another potential use case is a side-effect-only module. One example would be a module performing some global initialization and should be linked (and therefore 'run') before other modules.
