Subject: Conditionals based on phantom types
Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2010 09:07:04 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.1008020903440.30209@myhome> (raw)
Hi,
Is there any way to write a conditional based on the type
information of a value? Specifically, if we use phantom types to write a
module such as
module Units : sig
type 'a t
val to_feet : float -> [`Feet ] t
val to_meters : float -> [`Meters] t
val add : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t
val print : 'a t -> unit
end = struct
type 'a t = float
let to_feet x=x
let to_meters x=x
let add x y = x +. y
let print x = Printf.printf "%f (units)" x
end;;
is there anyway to modify the print statement to correctly denote which
units are used?
Thanks.
Joe
