Subject: Ocaml-1.06: type system changes
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 11:23:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <347463F2.BCE72D7D@cs.cornell.edu> (raw)
The type system seems to have changed in OCaml 1.06. The following code
no longer compiles (it compiled in ocaml-1.05):
type x = x option
Here's the complaint:
% ocamlc -c x.ml
File "x.ml", line 1, characters 4-17:
The type abbreviation x is cyclic
This doesn't seem like a problem with the type theory, since the type
"x" should probably be isomorphic to the natural numbers. Is there a
reason for the failure?
