Subject: Why can't I use val mover : < move : int -> unit; .. > list -> unit ?
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 13:39:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <HDEEKOMJILGEIHIMAPCDCEFFDNAA.mattias.waldau@abc.se> (raw)
In the example below I have two separate classes with no common
super class. Both classes have a method 'move'.
I have no problem using the function main below that can an
arbitrary 'objects with move defined'. However, when I try to
expand the example to list of objects with move defined, I
cannot use this function.
How can I use the function 'mover'? How do I coerce to
objects with move defined?
/mattias
(*
let _ = mover [p;q]
This expression has type p1d_1 = < move : int -> unit >
but is here used with type
p1d_2 = < move : int -> unit; only_here : int -> int >
Only the second object type has a method only_here
*)
class p1d_1 =
object
val mutable x = 0
method move d = x <- x + d
end
class p1d_2 =
object
val mutable x = 0
method move d = x <- x + d
method only_here x = x + x
end
let main x =
x#move 3
let q = new p1d_1
let p = new p1d_2
let _ = main q
let _ = main p
let mover l = List.iter (fun x -> x#move 10) l
(* let _ = mover [p;q] *)
(*
class p1d_1 : object val mutable x : int method move : int -> unit end
class p1d_2 :
object
val mutable x : int
method move : int -> unit
method only_here : int -> int
end
val main : < move : int -> 'a; .. > -> 'a = <fun>
val q : p1d_1 = <obj>
val p : p1d_2 = <obj>
val mover : < move : int -> unit; .. > list -> unit = <fun>
*)
