Description : emacs mode for editing OCaml programs
Objective Caml (OCaml) is an implementation of the ML language, based on
the Caml Light dialect extended with a complete class-based object system
and a powerful module system in the style of Standard ML.
.
This package provides support for editing both Objective Caml and
Caml Light programs with Emacs and XEmacs.
.
Caml-mode supports:
- indentation
- compilation and error retrieving
- interaction with the toplevel
- font-lock
- imenu
This emacs-mode used to be distributed as part of the ocaml distribution
but was recently factored out by upstream into a separate git repository.
This will become relevant for debian starting from ocaml 4.08 on (which
is currently in experimental).
This package will be maintained by the ocaml-team.
(*) Concerning the version: since the creation of the separate git repo,
upstream has not issued release tags. I have asked upstream to tag the
commits they consider a release.
