Subject: Why isn't -rectypes command line option the default
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 11:34:30 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070321113430.f32c802a.mle+ocaml@mega-nerd.com> (raw)
Hi all,
If I try to define a recursive type like this:
type 'a t = 'a * 'a t Lazy.t
the compiler won't accept it unless I add -rectypes to the compile
command.
I know I can avoid this by using a tag:
type 'a t = Node of 'a * 'a t Lazy.t
but I was wondering if there was a reason why -rectypes wasn't the
default.
Cheers,
Erik
