A version of the OCaml frontend packs the ast with type witnesses so that equalities can be recovered dynamically.

type _ migration_info

migration_info is an opaque type that is used to generate migration functions.

module type OCaml_version = sig ... end

An OCaml frontend versions an Ast, version number and some witnesses for conversion.

type 'types ocaml_version = (module OCaml_version with type Ast.Ast_mapper.mapper = 'types get_mapper and type Ast.Outcometree.out_class_type = 'types get_out_class_type and type Ast.Outcometree.out_module_type = 'types get_out_module_type and type Ast.Outcometree.out_phrase = 'types get_out_phrase and type Ast.Outcometree.out_sig_item = 'types get_out_sig_item and type Ast.Outcometree.out_type = 'types get_out_type and type Ast.Outcometree.out_type_extension = 'types get_out_type_extension and type Ast.Outcometree.out_value = 'types get_out_value and type Ast.Parsetree.case = 'types get_case and type Ast.Parsetree.core_type = 'types get_core_type and type Ast.Parsetree.expression = 'types get_expression and type Ast.Parsetree.extension_constructor = 'types get_extension_constructor and type Ast.Parsetree.pattern = 'types get_pattern and type Ast.Parsetree.signature = 'types get_signature and type Ast.Parsetree.structure = 'types get_structure and type Ast.Parsetree.toplevel_phrase = 'types get_toplevel_phrase and type Ast.Parsetree.type_declaration = 'types get_type_declaration and type Ast.Parsetree.type_extension = 'types get_type_extension)

A record for migrating each AST construct between two known versions

val migration_identity : ('a, 'a) migration_functions

Migrating to the same version is no-op

val migration_compose : ('a, 'b) migration_functions -> ('b, 'c) migration_functions -> ('a, 'c) migration_functions

Migrations can be composed

type 'from immediate_migration =
| No_migration : 'from immediate_migration

Cannot migrate earliest or latest supported version

| Immediate_migration : ('from, 'to_) migration_functions * 'to_ ocaml_version -> 'from immediate_migration

Pack the migration functions and the new version

val immediate_migration : 'types ocaml_version -> [< `Next | `Previous ] -> 'types immediate_migration
val migrate : 'from ocaml_version -> 'to_ ocaml_version -> ('from, 'to_) migration_functions
