Subject: Intended behavior of GenerateMap
Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2007 01:36:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070608083625.GA17210@stirner.roentgeninstitut.de> (raw)

Hi,

Is my understanding correct that running "camlp4of -filter map ..." over

    class map = Camlp4Filters.GenerateMap.generated

will produce a map class for *all* types defined in the current file --
irrespective if the types are incapsulated in a module (which is then
used for the Camlp4Trash trick)?

Wouldn't it be much nicer, i.e., more economical and more precise, if
the above only produces a map class for the most recently defined type
/ mutually recursive types?   

Just wondering,
Chris

PS: I came to the above question after reading the source and some
experimentation.  Is there any place where the rationale behind
GenerateMap/Fold is explained?
