I'm musing a little with camlp4. Specifically, I'm trying to get it to preprocess input written according to some syntax extension and output the result. Of course, since I'm just playing, I'd like to do this in type-eval-loop kind of interface. I tried typing the following command in my shell: $ cat - | camlp4 pa_o.cmo pa_extend.cmo pr_o.cmo pa_openin.cmo Camlp4 dies miserably discarding it's standard input. So then I tried the following: cat - | camlp4 pa_o.cmo pa_extend.cmo pr_o.cmo pa_openin.cmo -impl /dev/stdin Again, camlp4 dies miserably with the following error message: I/O error: Illegal seek Short of writing my own Pr_stdout module, is there any way to achieve the result of interactively getting camlp4 to preprocess some code and print it back to stdout?
