Subject: [Caml-list] how to get location of a polymorphic variant via compiler libs

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 541 bytes --]

Hi,

I am using compiler-libs for getting locations of lexical items I am interested in.
(modules, values, types, non-polymorphic variants, record labels).

If I have a code like this:

  type t = [`Foo | `Bar]

does the parse-tree hold the location of "`Foo" (or "`Bar") somewhere?

(I am not interested in the location of the whole type definition --- just the location of a specific polymorphic variant/constructor.)

The attachment display the available parse-tree I can see
(and not able to find bits I am interested in)
