Subject: Why is this allowed?
Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 10:46:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C03CBD3.3010606@mcmaster.ca> (raw)
type foo = Foo
let x = Foo
type foo2 = Foo | Bar
let y = Foo
let z = (x,y) ;;
I thought that re-using of algebraic labels was not allowed - but
apparently it is? Note that this means that it is impossible to "text"
print such structures and hope to recover them uniquely. This also
causes very subtle issues when Marshal'ing, and grave issues for code
generation [think metaocaml].
