Hi, List
I have read camlp4 source tree for quite a long time, and compiled
it here
http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~hongboz/hongbo_zhang_files/temp.pdf
It's still preliminary, and contains many errors.
my 2 cents:
1. don't use camlp4 for 3.12.0 (too many bugs there), it's fine in 3.12.1
2. spend some time in ocamlbuild (covered in chap2), it's very easy
to build any camlp4 extension, (not as hard as you thought)
3. write a quick hack extension is straight-foward. a robust
extesnsion is not easy. But, due to the fact that your camlp4Ast will be
dumped to ocamlast, and to typedtree, the bug will be found later in
most cases, so it's still a very powerful tool
