Subject: [Caml-list] Constraint Inference of a poly-type variable in a class-method
Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 10:31:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <565D690A.7000005@tu-berlin.de> (raw)

Dear all,

As a way to work-around my latest scalability issues, I want to attach a
polymorphic method to a class with this functionality:

let f t = t#s
val f : < s : 'a; .. > -> 'a

I know I can write:

object method f = f end ;;

and

class x = object method f : 'a 'b . (<s : 'a; ..> as 'b) -> 'a = f end ;;

However, the constraint might be somewhat larger, so I want it to be
inferred. Is there a way to have the compiler infer a constraint on a
poly-type variable?

regards,

Christoph
