* Makefile: no bytecode compilation in make world, see make byte insteadGravatar Pierre Letouzey2017-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a machine for which ocamlopt is available, the make world will now perform bytecode compilation only in grammar/ (up to the syntax extension grammar.cma), and then exclusively use ocamlopt. In particular, make world do not build bin/coqtop.byte. A separate rule 'make byte' does it, as well as bytecode plugins and things like dev/printers.cma. 'make install' deals only with the part built by 'make', while a new rule 'make install-byte' installs the part built by 'make byte'. IMPORTANT: PLEASE AVOID doing things like 'make -j world byte' or any parallel mix of native and byte rules. These are known to crash sometimes, see below. Instead, do rather 'make -j && make -j byte'. Indeed, apart from marginal compilation speed-up for users not interested in byte versions, the main reason for this commit is to discourage any simultaneous use of OCaml native and byte compilers. Indeed, ocamlopt and ocamlc will both happily destroy and recreate .cmi for .ml files with no .mli, and in case of parallel build this may happen at the very moment another ocaml(c|opt) is accessing this .cmi. Until now, this issue has been handled via nasty hacks (see the former MLWITHOUTMLI and HACKMLI vars in Makefile.build). But these hacks weren't obvious to extend to ocamlopt -pack vs. ocamlopt -pack. coqdep_boot takes a "-dyndep" option to control precisely how a Declare ML Module influences the .v.d dependency file. Possible values are: -dyndep opt : regular situation now, depends only on .cmxs -dyndep byte : no ocamlopt, or compilation forced to bytecode, depends on .cm(o|a) -dyndep both : earlier behavior, dependency over both .cm(o|a) and .cmxs -dyndep none : interesting for coqtop with statically linked plugins -dyndep var : place Makefile variables $(DYNLIB) and $(DYNOBJ) in .v.d instead of extensions .cm*, so that the choice is made in the rest of the makefile (see a future commit about coq_makefile) NB: two extra mli added to avoid building unecessary .cmo during 'make world', without having to use the ocamldep -native option. NB: we should state somewhere that coqmktop -top won't work unless 'make byte' was done first
* Revert "Merge remote-tracking branch 'github/pr/229' into trunk"Gravatar Maxime Dénès2016-07-05
| | | | | | | | | This reverts commit b2f8f9edd5c1bb0a9c8c4f4b049381b979d3e385, reversing changes made to da99355b4d6de31aec5a660f7afe100190a8e683. Hugo asked for more discussion on this topic, and it was not in the roadmap. I merged it prematurely because I thought there was a consensus. Also, I missed that it was changing coq_makefile. Sorry about that.
