Subject: covariance newb question
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 12:37:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5FABF242-1101-4499-8CF5-CF1559F6EECC@essi.fr> (raw)

# type +'a t = 'a -> 'a;;
In this definition, expected parameter variances are not satisfied.
The 1st type parameter was expected to be covariant, but it is invariant


But type t seems to be covariant :

# let f : 'a t = (fun x -> x);;
val f : 'a t = <fun>
# let g : int t = f;;
val g : int t = <fun>

Is there something wrong in my thought ?

thank you,

	Christophe Papazian
