Original bug ID: 4653
Reporter: @dra27
Assigned to: @xavierleroy
Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2015-12-11T18:04:39Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: tweak
Version: 3.11.0+beta
Fixed in version: 4.00.0+dev
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)
Monitored by: @rixed @ygrek @glondu @dbuenzli

Bug description

toplevellib.cma contains utils/config.cmo which contains useful information for OCaml based installers. If utils/config.cmi is installed as well then it would be possible to access this information.

Additional information

This allows, for example, extlib's installer to detect the correct extension for native code files (.o or .obj) without having to grep the output of ocamlc -config

This might also be useful when writing ocamlbuild plugins, by the way.

Upcoming release 4.00 installs a big chunk of compiler internal files in ocamlc -where /compiler-libs. You should find everything you need there.
