[Julow]

Auto-formatter for OCaml code

• Project page: https://github.com/ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat

CHANGES:

Highlight

• * Support OCaml 5.2 syntax (Support Ptyp_open from OCaml 5.2 ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2519, Backport Pexp_function from OCaml 5.2 ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2544, Fix 'function' indent in methods with no-wrap-fun-args ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2590, Represent 'let f _ = function' in the CST ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2596, Support 5.2 raw identifiers ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2621, Preserve line endings in delimited string literals ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2628, @Julow, @EmileTrotignon, @hhugo)
  This includes local open in types, raw identifiers, and the new
  representation for functions.
  This might change the formatting of some functions due to the formatting code
  being completely rewritten.

• Support OCaml 5.3 syntax (Backport 5.3 changes to Format_doc and Location ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2609, Backport 5.3 changes to Parsetree.constant ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2610, Backport 5.3 short functor type syntax ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2611, 5.3 support: Backport utf8 identifiers ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2622, 5.3 support: Versioned keywords ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2623, Support for OCaml 5.3 effect syntax ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2562, 5.3 support: Backport attributes on constant fix ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2624, Reduce diffs in vendored parsers ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2625, 5.3 support: Backport quoted strings lexer fix ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2627, @Julow, @Zeta611)
  This adds support for effect patterns, short functor type arguments and utf8
  identifiers.
  To format code using the new effect syntax, add this option to your
  .ocamlformat:

  ocaml-version = 5.3
  

• Documentation comments are now formatted by default (Enable 'parse-docstrings' in the default profile ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2390, @Julow)
  Use the option parse-docstrings = false to restore the previous behavior.

• * Consistent indentation of polymorphic variant arguments (Align variant arguments indentation inside parentheses ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2427, @Julow)
  Increases the indentation by one to make the formatting consistent with
  normal variants. For example:

    ...
    (* before *)
      (`Msg
        (foo bar))
    (* after *)
      (`Msg
         (foo bar))
  

• Build on OCaml 5.3 (Build on OCaml 5.3 ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2603, @adamchol, @Julow)

Added

• Improve the emacs plugin (Allow custom commands for running ocamlformat ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2577, Add compatibility with emacs ocaml tree-sitter modes ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2600, @gridbugs, @thibautbenjamin)
  Allow a custom command to be used to run ocamlformat and add compatibility
  with emacs ocaml tree-sitter modes.

• Added option let-binding-deindent-fun (Expose let_binding_deindent_fun flag ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2521, @henrytill)
  to control the indentation of the fun in:

  let f =
   fun foo ->
    bar
  

• Added back the flag --disable-outside-detected-project (Cleanup enable/disable-outside-detected-project options ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2439, @gpetiot)
  It was removed in version 0.22.

• Support newer Odoc syntax (Update vendored odoc-parser to version 2.4 ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2631, Update vendored odoc-parser to master branch ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2632, odoc: Align light syntax tables ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2633, @Julow)

Changed

• * Consistent formatting of comments (Refactor handling of comments ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2371, Fix doc-comments '*)' exceeding the margin ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2550, @Julow)
  This is mostly an internal change but some comments might be formatted differently.

• * Improve formatting of type constraints with type variables (Reduce the indentation of (polytype) type constraints ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2437, @gpetiot)
  For example:

  let f : type a b c.
      a -> b -> c =
    ...
  

• * Improve formatting of functor arguments (Don't align breaking module arguments ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2505, @Julow)
  This also reduce the indentation of functor arguments with long signatures.

• Improvements to the Janestreet profile (Remove incorrect fmt_expression ~epi mechanism ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2445, Improvements to ocp-indent-compat and the Janestreet profile ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2314, Janestreet profile: do not break fun _ -> function ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2460, Wrap short fun after a let with the janestreet profile ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2593, janestreet: Fix indent of comments in records ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2612, @Julow, @tdelvecchio-jsc)

• * Undo let-bindings and methods normalizations (Undo let-bindings normalizations, carry out the args to remove the sugaring ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2523, Simplify representation of class field values and methods ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2529, @gpetiot)
  This remove the rewriting of some forms of let-bindings and methods:

  • let f x = (x : int) is no longer rewritten into let f x : int = x
  • let f (type a) (type b) ... is no longer rewritten into let f (type a b) ...
  • let f = fun x -> ... is no longer rewritten into let f x = ...

• * The break-colon option is now taken into account for method type constraints (Simplify representation of class field values and methods ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2529, @gpetiot)

• * Force a break around comments following an infix operator (fix non-stabilizing comments) (Break around comments following an infix operator ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2478, @gpetiot)
  This adds a line break:

    a
    ||
    (* this comment is now on its own line *)
    b
  

Fixed

• Fix placement of comments in some cases (Use type function_param in Pexp_fun ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2471, Distinguish fun_param for expr/class, unify parsing of val/newtype fun_param ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2503, Fix unstable comment around docked functor arg ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2506, Fix comments around underscore in record patterns ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2540, Fix dropped comments before begin-end case ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2541, Un-indent comment after fun ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2592, Improve formatting of assignment operators with comments ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2617, @gpetiot, @Julow)
  Some comments were being moved or causing OCamlformat to crash.
  OCamlformat refuses to format if a comment would be missing in its output, to avoid loosing code.

• Fix attributes being dropped or moved (Moves module attributes after the module keyword ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2247, Fixed bug with attributes on sub-expressions of infix operators. ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2459, Improve the placement of begin..end attributes ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2551, Fix missing parentheses around let..in with attribute ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2564, Fix dropped attribute in (module M : S [@attr]) ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2602, @EmileTrotignon, @tdelvecchio-jsc, @Julow)
  OCamlformat refuses to format if the formatted code has a different meaning than the original code, for example, if an attribute is removed.
  We also try to avoid moving attributes even if that doesn't change the original code, for example we no longer format open[@attr] M as open M [@@attr].

• Remove trailing space inside a wrapping empty signature (Fix trailing space in empty signature ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2443, @Julow)

• Fix extension-point spacing in structures (Consistent spacing between items with extension ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2450, @Julow)

• * Consistent break after string constant argument (Consistent break after string constant argument ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2453, @Julow)

• * Fix cinaps comment formatting to not change multiline string contents (Fix cinaps comment formatting to not change multiline string contents. ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2463, @tdelvecchio-jsc)

• * Fix the indentation of tuples in attributes and extensions (Fix indentation of tuples in payloads ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2488, @Julow)

• * Fix weird indentation and line breaks after comments (Fix unwanted alignment after comment ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2507, Preserve comment placement after a then or else ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2589, Fix unecessary break due to comment in polymorphic variants ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2606, @Julow)

• * Fix unwanted alignment in if-then-else (Avoid alignment in if-then-else ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2511, @Julow)

• Fix missing parentheses around constraint expressions with attributes (Bug fix: Pexp_constraint with attributes should get parenthesized ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2513, @alanechang)

• Fix formatting of type vars in GADT constructors (Fix formatting of type vars in GADT constructors ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2518, @Julow)

• Fix [@ocamlformat "disable"] in some cases (Keep the location of 'in' keywords in local bindings ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2242, Fixes a bug in class type when trying to disable ocamlformat. ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2525, @EmileTrotignon)
  This caused a bug inside class type constructs and when attached to a let ... in

• Display a##b instead of a ## b and similarly for operators that start with # (fix up spacing in f a#:b (instead of f a #: b) ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2580, @v-gb)

• * Fix arrow type indentation with break-separators=before (Fix arrow type indentation with break_separators=before ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2598, @Julow)

• Fix missing parentheses around a let in class expressions (Fix parenthesing of let in class expressions ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2599, @Julow)

• Fix formatting of paragraphs in lists in documentation (odoc: Fix formatting of paragraphs in lists ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2607, @Julow)

• Avoid unwanted space in references and links text in documentation (odoc: Don't add unecessary space in references and links ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2608, @Julow)

• * Improve the indentation of attributes in patterns (Improve indentation of attributes in patterns ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2613, @Julow)

• * Avoid large indentation in patterns after let%ext (Break after 'let%ext' ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2615, @Julow)

ocamlformat-lib and ocamlformat-rpc-lib tests are failing with

# File "test/passing/gen/dune.inc", line 4684, characters 10-28:

I might have fixed this in ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat#2635. I'll redo the release

[Julow]

This particular problem seems fixed but now it fails on a 32 bit platform. Do you have an idea on how to debug that ?
