Problems installing domainslib with multicore OCaml

dimitarvp · June 12, 2021, 2:47pm

Hello again and my apologies for pestering you with this one more time. Three days ago, when I was doing opam update && opam upgrade, I got this output (I run the updates daily):

<><> Updating package repositories ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>  🐫
[multicore] no changes from git+https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/multicore-opam.git
[default] synchronised from https://opam.ocaml.org
Now run 'opam upgrade' to apply any package updates.
The following actions will be performed:
  ↗ upgrade domainslib 0.2.2 to 0.3.0

This looks like a consequence of some recent updates in the compiler and domainslib. Mutex, Condition Variable and Semaphore were added to stdlib modules (ocaml-multicore#548) and a work stealing implementation for Domainslib Task (domainslib#29).

My recommendation is to reinstall the compiler with opam reinstall ocaml-variants and run the updates after the compiler is updated.

=> merlin installed.

   Quick setup for VIM
   -------------------
   Append this to your .vimrc to add merlin to vim's runtime-path:
     let g:opamshare = substitute(system('opam var share'),'\n$','','''')
     execute "set rtp+=" . g:opamshare . "/merlin/vim"

   Also run the following line in vim to index the documentation:
     :execute "helptags " . g:opamshare . "/merlin/vim/doc"

   Quick setup for EMACS
   -------------------
   Add opam emacs directory to your load-path by appending this to your .emacs:
     (let ((opam-share (ignore-errors (car (process-lines "opam" "config" "var" "share")))))
      (when (and opam-share (file-directory-p opam-share))
       ;; Register Merlin
       (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "emacs/site-lisp" opam-share))
       (autoload 'merlin-mode "merlin" nil t nil)
       ;; Automatically start it in OCaml buffers
       (add-hook 'tuareg-mode-hook 'merlin-mode t)
       (add-hook 'caml-mode-hook 'merlin-mode t)
       ;; Use opam switch to lookup ocamlmerlin binary
       (setq merlin-command 'opam)))

   Take a look at https://github.com/ocaml/merlin for more information

   Quick setup with opam-user-setup
   --------------------------------

   Opam-user-setup support Merlin.

     $ opam user-setup install

   should take care of basic setup.
   See https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam-user-setup
=> Since version 4.2, Merlin integration with completion packages company
   and auto-complete has moved to separate modules. Make sure to add
   `(require 'merlin-company)` or `(require 'merlin-ac)` to your emacs
   configuration if you were using one of these.

The former state can be restored with:
    opam switch import "/Users/dimi/.opam/4.12.0+domains+effects/.opam-switch/backup/state-20210614072953.export"
Or you can retry to install your package selection with:
    opam install --restore

Have you done an opam update recently @dimitarvp? There is a 0.3.0 of domainslib released which uses the new Mutex and Condition instead of Domain.Sync.wait: Release Domainslib 0.3.0 · ocaml-multicore/domainslib · GitHub

It’s packaged up in the multicore-opam repo, so a opam update; opam install domainslib should do the trick (and you should get 0.3.0). Let us know if that’s not working for some reason.

dimitarvp · June 14, 2021, 11:38am

I run this daily:

opam update
opam upgrade -y

Here’s what I have installed:

opam switch
#  switch                  compiler                               description
   4.12.0                  ocaml-base-compiler.4.12.0             4.12.0
→  4.12.0+domains+effects  ocaml-variants.4.12.0+domains+effects  4.12.0+domains+effects

I am on the latest macOS.

avsm · June 14, 2021, 2:44pm

What does it say if you try opam install domainslib.0.3.0? (this comes currently from the same opam remote you are getting the 4.12.0+domains+effects compiler from).

dimitarvp · June 14, 2021, 3:21pm

opam install domainslib.0.3.0

The following actions will be performed:

Done.

After that did opam update (which completed without problems) and opam upgrade -y reported that there’s nothing to do.
