Conversion of OCaml-values to S-expressions
#
val default_string_of_float : (float -> string) Pervasives.ref

default_string_of_float reference to the default function used to convert floats to strings.

Initially set to fun n -> sprintf "%.20G" n.

#
val write_old_option_format : bool Pervasives.ref

write_old_option_format reference for the default option format used to write option values. If set to true, the old-style option format will be used, the new-style one otherwise.

Initially set to true.

#
val read_old_option_format : bool Pervasives.ref

read_old_option_format reference for the default option format used to read option values. Of_sexp_error will be raised with old-style option values if this reference is set to false. Reading new-style option values is always supported. Using a global reference instead of changing the converter calling conventions is the only way to avoid breaking old code with the standard macros.

Initially set to true.

#

#
module Exn_converter : sig
#
type t

Type of handles for exception S-expression converters

#
val set_max_exn_tags : int -> unit
#
val get_max_exn_tags : unit -> int
#
val add_auto : ?finalise:bool -> exn -> (exn -> Sexp.t) -> unit

add_auto ?finalise templ sexp_of_exn registers exception S-expression converter sexp_of_exn for exceptions having same constructor as template templ.

NOTE: if the exception belongs to a transient module, e.g. local modules (including functor instantiations), first-class modules, etc., a manually written sexp_of_exn must use Obj.magic internally to avoid matching or creating the exception, otherwise the handler can never be reclaimed once the exception ceases to exist. If finalise is true, then the exception will be automatically registered for removal with the GC (default). Finalisation will not work with exceptions that have been allocated outside the heap, which is the case for some standard ones e.g. Sys_error.

NOTE: Use with great caution, this function is primarily intended for automated use! If unsure, use add_slow instead.

finalise default = true
#
val add_slow : (exn -> Sexp.t option) -> t

add_slow sexp_of_exn registers exception S-expression converter sexp_of_exn and returns a handle. Exception converters registered this way are much slower than with add, but this function does not require an exception template. NOTE: if you call this function explicitly, or the "sexp"-macro for exceptions from within local modules, you will eventually have to unregister it manually with [root:del], otherwise there is a space leak!

#
val del_slow : t -> unit

del_slow handle unregisters exception S-expression converter with handle handle. In multi-threaded contexts it is not guaranteed that the unregistered converter will not be called after this function returns.
