ocaml

OCaml is a general-purpose programming language, designed with program safety and reliability in mind. It is very expressive, yet easy to learn and use. OCaml supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming styles.

It has been developed and distributed by INRIA, France's national research institute for computer science, since 1985.

This package provides in particular the following tools:

• ocamlc: the OCaml batch compiler,
• ocamlopt: the OCaml high-performance native-code compiler,
• ocamldep: the dependency generator (in a format suitable for the make utility),
• ocaml: the interactive (command-line) toplevel system,
• ocamlmktop: builds OCaml toplevels that contain user code preloaded at start-up,
• ocamllex: the OCaml lexical analyser, very close to lex,
• ocamlyacc: the OCaml parser generator, in the style yacc.
• ocamldebug: the OCaml source-level replay debugger,
• ocamlprof: the OCaml profiling tool, for programs compiled in profiling mode by using either ocamlcp: the front-end to the ocamlc compiler or ocamloptp: the front-end to the ocamlopt compiler,
• ocamlbuild: automates the compilation of most OCaml projects with minimal user intervention,
• ocamlmklib: a tool for building mixed C/OCaml libraries
• ocamlobjinfo: a tool for displaying informations on files
