Description : syntax extension for optional compilation with cpp-like directives
Optcomp is a syntax extension which handles #if, #else, ... directives
in OCaml source files. Compared to cpp:
* it does not interpret //, /*, and */ as comment delimiters
* it does not complains about missing '
* it is easier to integrate in the build process when using other
camlp4 syntax extensions
* it does not do macro expansion while cpp does
Compared to pa_macro, it does not require code that will be dropped to
be valid OCaml code. This can be useful for code that optionnally uses
GADTs, but can be compiled with older versions of OCaml.
