Subject: [Caml-list] function overloading
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 00:57:18 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0F0B3332-0F6E-11D8-85C9-000393CFE6B8@spy.net> (raw)


	I swear I found an example demonstrating how to do pattern matching 
based on the type of an argument, but every pattern matching example I 
can find now seems to be focused on value and not type.

	I'm trying to do something like this:

let print_poly x = match x with
     | (x: bool) -> print_bool x
     | (x: int) ->  print_int x
;;

	Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong (or perhaps tell me why I 
shouldn't be doing this at all)?
