Subject: question about "with module"
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 12:12:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <604682010703220912m1f6ecfay84b3ffacd53f50db@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Why does this program typecheck?

------------------------------------------------------------
module type S = sig
  module A : sig
    val x : int
  end
  module Z : sig
    module B : sig
    end
  end with module B = A
end

module F (S : S) = struct let _ = S.Z.B.x end
------------------------------------------------------------

The explanation of "with module" in the manual:

  http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/manual018.html

says:

  The constraint module module-path = extended-module-path adds type equations
  to all type components of the sub-structure denoted by module-path, making
  them equivalent to the corresponding type components of the structure denoted
  by extended-module-path.

It doesn't say anything about adding value components.
