Original bug ID: 5869
Reporter: meyer
Status: resolved (set by @damiendoligez on 2017-03-03T10:39:26Z)
Resolution: suspended
Priority: normal
Severity: feature
Category: -for ocamlbuild use https://github.com/ocaml/ocamlbuild/issues
Monitored by: meyer Camarade_Tux @hcarty

Bug description

Currently ocamlbuild relies on a file system, and is purely a command line tool.

Some tools like Oasis rely on generating a lot of intermediate files for ocamlbuild -- that could be avoided all together if the client tool just called ocamlbuild to give it the same information as in _tags, mllib, mlpack etc. and myocamlbuild plugins.

The client thus would behave like an interpreter not a compiler anymore. This would make the building process less fragile and eliminate many errors originating from file system state.
