Subject: type t = ()
Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2005 22:22:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050609212234.GA32710@furbychan.cocan.org> (raw)

I had a program where a type was accidentally defined as (), and the
error messages confused me for ages until I worked out what was going
on ...

$ ocaml
        Objective Caml version 3.08.3

# type dummy = ();;
type dummy = ()
# let () = Printf.printf "hello";;
This expression has type unit but is here used with type dummy

Rich.
