Use new hidden deps Merlin support for handling implicit-transitive-deps false #10535

voodoos · 2024-05-15T15:13:30Z

With release 5.2 the compiler introduces a new flag -H to introduce dependencies that are required for linking but should be hidden from the currently built module. Merlin for 5.2 follows with two new configuration directives: BH and SH that allows to provide hidden build and source paths.

This PR effectively takes advantage of these new directives to correctly communicate hidden dependencies to Merlin.

All versions of Merlin since 4.6 will accept that flag, but only the preview versions for 5.2 can actually take advantage of this additional information.

Hello @voodoos, thanks for this PR. Note that #9333 is being worked on at the moment (cc @MA0010). Once that is done, you will be able to simplify the patch because the lists of requires given by Compilation_context.requires will be annotated with a flag indicating whether each dependency is direct or transitive (= hidden), and you won't need to do this computation "just" for Merlin. Moreover, I think it would be great if we could merge this PR at the same time that Dune itself is able to support -H.

Accordingly, I suggest to suspend this PR until #9333 is done; does that sound OK? I hope that there will be a PR for #9333 in the next week or so.

@voodoos #10644 has been merged; so it should now be possible to finalize this PR by using Compilation_context.requires_hidden. Thanks for waiting!

Hi @voodoos could you rebase the PR? We were talking about this in the last dune-dev meeting and it would be nice to have it as part of the 3.17 release.

Could you please add a changelog entry? This is one of the highlights of the release, would be good for people to be aware of it :)

Interesting that this triggers the error now, this could be a regression for the release but it seems like the error is what should've happened here anyway.

My main concern is that this changes so many tests, but given the dependency that is getting reported is an internal one and stays an internal one I believe this is not an issue.

It looks like the PR changes some evaluation order that makes Dune errors after following a different branch. Not sure what causes this however...

@rgrinberg Can you please weight in whether this is an issue? It doesn't seem to be wrong, but maybe the order is important in some way I am not aware of?

I found the difference: before we only "peeked" (with Resolve.peek) at the dependencies and now we "read" them.

I will revert that change as is seems wrong to introduce dependencies here.

@nojb I think you've assigned yourself to this PR. Do you mind taking a final look, and if everything is OK, merging?

+- Use Merlin new configuration directives `BH` and `SH` for hidden dependencies.


I would mention that hidden dependencies correspond to the -h flag instead of internal merlin directives which most people are unaware of.

Indeed, it is always better to write Changes entries from the point of view of the user, not the developer. In this case, something like

- Make Merlin/OCaml-LSP aware of "hidden" dependencies used by `(implicit_transitive_deps false)` via the `-H` compiler flag.

would be more useful for the occasional reader.

I took the liberty of tweaking the Changes entry in this manner. Planning to merge once CI passes. Thanks!
