There was a problem hiding this comment.
Shouldn't this case should be combined with the one below to reject
ocamlopt -c a.c b.ml -o something?

That was definitely a good idea, many thanks for the suggestion.
The PR has been rebased on latest trunk and updated accordingly.

Gosh. Sorry, and thanks. Fixed.

When using ocamlc/ocamlopt to compile C files, it was not possible so far to control where the resulting object file should be written. In other words, before this commit a command like ocamlopt -c foo.c -o /tmp/foo.o produced the following error message: Options -c and -o are incompatible when compiling C files This commit removes this restriction and lets the compiler accept that the command-line options -c and -o are given simultaneously also when compiling one C file, so that the previous command now works. The -o command-line option remains forbidden when compiling several source files.

`check-typo` is still complaining in the same way, are you sure that
you pushed your fixing change?
They should be there now. Sorry.

This PR fixes issue #7677.
When using ocamlc/ocamlopt to compile C files, it is currently not possible
to control where the C compiler should place the resulting object file.
In other words, without this PR, a command like
produced the following error message:
Options -c and -o are incompatible when compiling C files
This PR removes this restriction and lets the compiler accept
that the command-line options -c and -o are given simultaneously
also when compiling one C file, so that the previous command now works.
The -o command-line option remains however forbidden when compiling
several C files during the same compiler invocation.
The PR includes tests to ensure the compiler behaves as expected when
only one C file is provided on the command-line and when several
of them are provided.
A
file-existsaction has been added to ocamltest to make testing for thepresence of the object file easier.
The code has been tested with precheck, see build
##521.
