Location (ppxlib.Ppxlib.Location)

There are less functions in this module. However the API should be more stable than the Location module of OCaml.

For a detailled presentation of good practices regarding locations, refer to the section in the manual.

type t = Astlib.Location.t = {

loc_start : Stdlib.Lexing.position;
loc_end : Stdlib.Lexing.position;
loc_ghost : bool;

}

val in_file : string -> t

Return an empty ghost range located in a given file.

val set_filename : t -> string -> t

Set the pos_fname both in loc_start and loc_end. Leave the rest as is.

val none : t

An arbitrary value of type t; describes an empty ghost range.

val init : Stdlib.Lexing.lexbuf -> string -> unit

Set the file name and line number of the lexbuf to be the start of the named file.

val raise_errorf : 
  ?loc:t ->
  ('a, Stdlib.Format.formatter, unit, 'b) format4 ->
  'a

Raise a located error. Should be avoided as much as possible, in favor of error_extensionf. See the relevant part of the tutorial.

val of_lexbuf : Stdlib.Lexing.lexbuf -> t

Return the location corresponding to the last matched regular expression

val report_exception : Stdlib.Format.formatter -> exn -> unit

Report an exception on the given formatter

val print : Stdlib.Format.formatter -> t -> unit

Prints File "...", line ..., characters ...-...:

type nonrec 'a loc = 'a Astlib.Location.loc = {

txt : 'a;
loc : t;

}

val compare_pos : Stdlib.Lexing.position -> Stdlib.Lexing.position -> int

val min_pos : 
  Stdlib.Lexing.position ->
  Stdlib.Lexing.position ->
  Stdlib.Lexing.position

val max_pos : 
  Stdlib.Lexing.position ->
  Stdlib.Lexing.position ->
  Stdlib.Lexing.position

val compare : t -> t -> int

module Error : sig ... end

val error_extensionf : 
  loc:t ->
  ('a,
    Stdlib.Format.formatter,
    unit,
    string Astlib.Location.loc * Astlib.Ast_500.Parsetree.payload)
    format4 ->
  'a

Returns an error extension node. When encountered in the AST, the compiler recognizes it and displays the error properly.
