hi
I'm a Ocaml n00b (without any degree). Therefore I have a faible for
everything that makes Ocamls syntax more algol/imperative like [1]. An
example would be an extension like 'newref'
(http://bitbucket.org/johannes/newref/wiki/Home), which turns:
print_int !i into print_int $i (* newref *)
so I fiercely try to also perlify the declaration that turns
let i = ref 3 into let $i = 3 (* my idea ... *)
but camlp4 makes my head spin. The syntax is very difficult and in a
lot of camlp4 documentation there is AST modification involved, which
is a subject I don't get although I made several attempts. And simple
program transformation with camlp4 (using concrete syntax) is nowhere
documented.
Could someone give any idea how I can begin to understand how to write
simple camlp4 extensions?
thanks
ben
