Subject: Not a variant??
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:53:58 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48AB4F06.4070208@mcmaster.ca> (raw)
The function f1 below works fine -- so type d is seen to be a variant type.
However, f2 does not compile because type c is *not* a variant type.
However, if one looks at O'Caml's output for type c, it visually looks
like a variant, while that of d does not. This is highly confusing.
This looks like a bug to me -- both c and d should be recognized as
variant types.

type a = [`A ]
type b = [`B ]
type 'a c = 'a
constraint 'a = [< a | b]
;;
type 'a d = 'a
constraint 'a = b

let f1 = function
| #d -> true
| _ -> false
let f2 = function
| #c -> true
| _ -> false
