. Location
Module
Source code locations (ranges of positions), used in parsetree.
Warning: this module is unstable and part of compiler-libs .
type t = Warnings.loc = {
loc_start : Stdlib .Lexing.position;
loc_end : Stdlib .Lexing.position;
loc_ghost : bool;
}
Note on the use of Lexing.position in this module. If pos_fname = ""
, then use !input_name
instead. If pos_lnum = -1
, then pos_bol = 0
. Use pos_cnum
and re-parse the file to get the line and character numbers. Else all fields are correct.
An arbitrary value of type t
; describes an empty ghost range.
True for Location.none
, false any other location
val in_file : string -> t
Return an empty ghost range located in a given file.
val init : Stdlib .Lexing.lexbuf -> string -> unit
Set the file name and line number of the lexbuf
to be the start of the named file.
val curr : Stdlib .Lexing.lexbuf -> t
Get the location of the current token from the lexbuf
.
val symbol_rloc : unit -> t
val symbol_gloc : unit -> t
rhs_loc n
returns the location of the symbol at position n
, starting at 1, in the current parser rule.
val rhs_interval : int -> int -> t

Printing locationsval rewrite_absolute_path : string -> string
rewrite absolute path to honor the BUILD_PATH_PREFIX_MAP variable (https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/build-path-prefix-map/) if it is set.
val absolute_path : string -> string
val show_filename : string -> string
In -absname mode, return the absolute path for this filename. Otherwise, returns the filename unchanged.

A printer for report
s, defined using open-recursion. The goal is to make it easy to define new printers by re-using code from existing ones.
Report printers used in the compilerval terminfo_toplevel_printer : Stdlib .Lexing.lexbuf -> report_printer
Detects the terminal capabilities and selects an adequate printer
Printing a report
val print_report : Stdlib .Format.formatter -> report -> unit
Display an error or warning report.
Hook for redefining the printer of reports.
The hook is a unit -> report_printer
and not simply a report_printer
: this is useful so that it can detect the type of the output (a file, a terminal, ...) and select a printer accordingly.
Original report printer for use in hooks.
Reporting warnings Converting a Warnings.t
into a report
report_warning loc w
produces a report for the given warning w
, or None
if the warning is not to be printed.
Hook for intercepting warnings.
Original warning reporter for use in hooks.
Printing warningsval print_warning : t -> Stdlib .Format.formatter -> Warnings.t -> unit
Prints a warning. This is simply the composition of report_warning
and print_report
.
Same as print_warning
, but uses !formatter_for_warnings
as output formatter.
Reporting alerts Converting an Alert.t
into a report
report_alert loc w
produces a report for the given alert w
, or None
if the alert is not to be printed.
Hook for intercepting alerts.
Original alert reporter for use in hooks.
Printing alertsPrints an alert. This is simply the composition of report_alert
and print_report
.
Same as print_alert
, but uses !formatter_for_warnings
as output formatter.
val deprecated : ?def :t -> ?use :t -> t -> string -> unit
Prints a deprecation alert.
val alert : ?def :t -> ?use :t -> kind :string -> t -> string -> unit
Prints an arbitrary alert.
Reporting errorsAn error
is a report
which report_kind
must be Report_error
.

Automatically reporting errors for raised exceptionsval register_error_of_exn : (exn -> error option ) -> unit
Each compiler module which defines a custom type of exception which can surface as a user-visible error should register a "printer" for this exception using register_error_of_exn
. The result of the printer is an error
value containing a location, a message, and optionally sub-messages (each of them being located as well).
val error_of_exn : exn -> [ `Ok of error | `Already_displayed ] option
Raising Error e
signals an error e
; the exception will be caught and the error will be printed.
exception Already_displayed_error
Raising Already_displayed_error
signals an error which has already been printed. The exception will be caught, but nothing will be printed
val raise_errorf :
?loc :t ->
?sub :msg list ->
('a , Stdlib .Format.formatter, unit, 'b ) Stdlib .format4 ->
'a
val report_exception : Stdlib .Format.formatter -> exn -> unit
Reraise the exception if it is unknown.
