Original bug ID: 1791
Reporter: administrator
Status: closed
Resolution: won't fix
Priority: normal
Severity: feature
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

Full_Name: Trevor Jim
Version: 3.06
OS: OS X
Submission from: targe.cs.princeton.edu (128.112.139.194)

I don't know if you'll consider this a bug, but it seems perhaps inconsistent.

If I do

ocamlopt -output-obj -o foo.o [lots of .cmx files] pty.c

then ocamlopt compiles pty.c to pty.o, but does not link pty.o into foo.o.
I was expecting it to do so because something like

ocamlopt -o bar [lots of .cmx files] pty.c

compiles pty.c to pty.o and links pty.o into bar.

These commands are similar (both are combining binaries) so I expected
similar conventions.

Not sure what the most logical behavior is. One could argue that -output-obj
just links the Caml code; everything else can be linked later. In doubt, I'll
leave it as it is now. -XL, 2003-08-26
