Since version 4.0

  Once this version of Camlp5 installed, if your files do not compile, it
  be due to the new type 'location' which is now abstract. In particular,
  you can see it as first parameter of the exception 'Exc_located' (now
  renamed 'Ploc.Exc' but name compatibility is assumed) raised by the
  function 'Stdpp.raise_with_loc' (now renamed 'Ploc.raise'). If you
  handled that exception and looked at the 'location' by considering it
  is a couple of source positions ('int' or 'Lexing.position' depending
  on the version of Camlp4 you had before), it does not work any more.

    Look at the functions defined in 'ploc.mli'.

    To get the first and last positions of a location, use the functions
  'Ploc.first_pos' and 'Ploc.last_pos'. They return integers, which are
  positions in characters from the beginning of the file. But you can
  also get the line number by the function 'Ploc.line_nb'. Consider also
  using the function 'Ploc.encl'. See the other functions.

    With Camlp5, when loading 'pa_macro.cmo', you get the identifier
  'CAMLP5' defined. If you want to make your sources compatible with
  several versions of Camlp4 or Camlp5, you can add, in <expressions>,
  <patterns>, or toplevel definition (<structure items>), things like :

      IFDEF CAMLP5 THEN
        <source compatible with this version of camlp5>
      ELSE
        <source compatible with other versions of camlp5>
      END
