En francais :
Il a ete explique dans un post precedent que "let rec x = f(x)"
n'est compilable que si "x" est une fonction ou si la compilation
de "f(x)" ne depend pas de "x".
Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas dans la definition de "fib" ci dessous ?
==========================================================================
In english :
I remember a post where it was explained that "let rec x = f(x)" is
handled
only when "x" is a function or when "f(x)" may be compiled with no
knowledge
of "x".
So, what is wrong with the following attempt to define "fib" ?

Ce genre d'expressions n'est pas autorisé comme membre droit d'un "let
rec".
#quit();;
Process inferior-caml finished
==========================================================================
PS : J'ai aussi essaye :
let rec fib(x) = let g = remember(fun x -> ...) in g(x);;
Ca marche (a la compilation) mais il n'y a pas memorisation
des resultats puisque g est reconstruite a chaque appel.
