Currently, the compiler relies on the presence of the
Js
andBelt
modules for some runtime functionality. However, we are moving toCore
as our new standard library and should therefore not rely onJs
orBelt
being present (these will likely become optional packages at some point). See also #6836.Therefore, any runtime functionality the compiler relies on should be extracted into separate modules for this purpose. I have used the naming convention
runtime_*.res
for these modules. They currently remain in theothers
directory because for the source files in the existingruntime
directory (caml_*.res
), the corresponding .cm* files are not part of the npm package.This PR is a first part of the required work.
