Subject: [Caml-list] External typing
Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2002 19:15:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000001c1c2ef$06d74cb0$7000a8c0@warp> (raw)

Hi
I have something like :

external f1 : my_very_long_indentifier -> one_other_id -> int = "f1"
external f2 : my_very_long_indentifier -> one_other_id -> bool = "f2"
....

And I would like to have :

type 'a conv = my_very_long_indentifier -> one_other_id -> 'a

external f1 : int conv = "f1"
external f2 : bool conv = "f2"

Which is - you'll agree - a lot nicer.

But the computer yield to me "External identifiers must be functions" when I
try this. Is that notation really impossible with externals or is there some
tip ? Does the compiler shouldn't know that "int conv" is a functional type
?

Thanks
Nicolas Cannasse
