Hi,
Is there a way to pass arguments to a preprocessor via the _tags file?
(In particular, I have added a -classes option to Deriving to give
default classes to all the types in a file.). Following the recent
discussion, I have this in myocamlbuild.ml:
dispatch begin function
| After_rules ->
flag ["ocaml"; "pp"; "deriving"] (A"deriving");
flag ["ocaml"; "pp"; "Show"] (S[A"-classes"; A"Show"]);
So now if I put
<foo.ml> : deriving,Show
in _tags I get -pp 'deriving -classes Show' in the command line. What I
would like, however, is to be able to write
<foo.ml> : deriving(Show,Typeable)
or
<foo.ml> : deriving,classes(Show,Typeable)
i.e. to be able to pass some arbitrary args rather than hard-coding Show
as a tag. Is there any way to do this? I don't understand how Ocamlbuild
decides whether flags should be associated with the main command or with
the preprocessor command; if I write classes(Foo) in _tags I get
-classes Foo in the main command, no matter what I have tried in
myocamlbuild.ml.
Thanks,
Jake
