Re: [Caml-list] strange behavior with record type definition

[Florent <florentflament@aist.enst.fr>]

Ok but with these two record types defined :
    type t0 = { x : int ; y : int } ;;
    type t1 = { x : int } ;;

There is no ambiguity about the following expression's type:
    { x = 0 ; y = 0 } ;;
Why can't the t0 type be infered ?

And with this function definition,
    let get_y (t:t0) = t.x ;;
I explicitly say to the compiler that t is of type t0, so why does the 
compiler infer a t1 type when trying to get the x label of a t0 type value ?
