[Caml-list] #install_printer gives error in 4.0X

[Caml-list] #install_printer gives error in 4.0X

[Hendrik Tews]

Hi,

#install_printer does not work for me anymore in the trunk
version of OCaml and in the 4.00 branch. When I try

    type t = A;;
    let t_printer ff (t : t) = Format.fprintf ff "XaX";;
    #install_printer t_printer;;

I get 

    Cannot find type Topdirs.printer_type_new.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? If this is a bug,
does anybody know a workaround?

Bye,

Hendrik

#directory "+compiler-libs";;

Looks like a bug.

That's a bug, indeed.  Would you be so kind as to file a bug report on
http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/
This maximizes your chances of getting it fixed in the 4.00.0 release.
