Subject: Checking an interface against an implementation
Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2005 11:24:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <33E57BD4-F484-4E0B-8B23-DC84D4A3061E@epfl.ch> (raw)

Hello,

Is there a compiler invocation that allows to check that a particular  
cmo or cmx implements a given cmi ?

I have some compilation units which are completely transparent to  
each other (i.e no .mli). However for the final client of these units  
I provide constrained interfaces specified in another directory.  For  
example,

mylib/a.ml
mylib/b.ml
mylib/api/a.mli
mylib/api/b.mli

Whenever I compile an .mli to a .cmi I would like to check that its  
corresponding .cmo implements it. The problem is that syntactically  
correct cmi always compile whithout problems. So if my .cmo doesn't  
implement my .cmi I only get an (uninformative) error when I try to  
actually link these units with the client.

Thanks for your answers,

Daniel
