Manifest: Allow specify globs for preprocessor dependencies
What
Add support for glob_files
in the preprocessor_deps
field
Why
When I was experimenting with ppx-blob
, I noticed support for glob_files
in the preprocessor_deps
field was not integrating in Manifest. I added it (quite easily btw, Manifest’s abstractions seem pretty on point here).
In the end, we decided to use ocaml-crunch
instead of ppx-blob
, but maybe this MR might still be useful? So that folks needing globs for their ppx rewriter don’t have to do it themselves.
How
Mostly reuse existing code from the Manifest.
