Topic: Plugins with Coq 8.16


view this post on Zulip Rodolphe Lepigre (Oct 06 2022 at 07:16):

I am currently porting some Coq code and OCaml plugins to coq.8.16.0, and it seems that dune.3.4.1 is not happy about this. As I understand it, plugins are now loaded using findlib names, but even after doing that dune complains about not being able to find some META.something file. Is that expected? Do I need to us (unreleased) dune.3.5.0 for coq.8.16.0?

I'll try the development version of dune to check, but in the meantime I though it might be useful to get an answer here because I might have missed something.

Turns out the development version does not help. I might have a bug on my hand, I'll investigate.

@Ali Caglayan had a PR documenting this, but it got stuck

Oh OK, thanks for the info. Do you have a link to the PR?

Coq's manual documents this, the short story is

use Declare ML Module "foo_plugin:pkg.foo.plugin".

Dune 3.5.0 will have the needed fix there

however coqdep seems quite buggy

so Coq needs to be fixed too

but using the legacy methods works fine for now

quickest way to see how things should be is Dune test suite hehe

view this post on Zulip Rodolphe Lepigre (Oct 06 2022 at 07:39):

Yeah, I had a quick look to the test suite actually, but I obviously missed something. :smile:

Only thing you lose by the legacy syntax is dep loading, so not a big deal

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 06 2022 at 07:39):

Yeah it seems everyone is confused about this

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 14 2022 at 11:06):

@Rodolphe Lepigre do you need a backport of the coqdep patch?

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 14 2022 at 11:06):

I can do it very quickly

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 14 2022 at 11:07):

if you haven't got to it yet

view this post on Zulip Rodolphe Lepigre (Oct 14 2022 at 11:07):

I made my own quickly, I'll check if it works.

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 14 2022 at 11:09):

Ok great

view this post on Zulip Rodolphe Lepigre (Oct 14 2022 at 11:11):

Do you want me to push that somewhere so that you can use it for 8.16.1?

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 14 2022 at 11:14):

Yes please do a draft pull request targetting the 8.16 branch, thanks!

I'm assumming @Pierre-Marie Pédrot will be OK with that PR to be backported

view this post on Zulip Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias (Oct 14 2022 at 11:15):

However we didn't run the CI on it yet, but a failure would be surprising
