Subject: Bug in equality testing?
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 94 17:36:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9403211636.AA20092@pauillac.inria.fr> (raw)

It is a well-known bug of the compilation of Caml Light. In fact, the
variables a and b are internally represented as:

       ----- ---- ----                    ------ ---- ----               
      | App |    |    |        and       | Pair |    |    |
       ----- -/-- --\-                    ------ -/-- --\-
             /       \                           /       \
           "X"       []                        "X"       []

so the generic equality says these 3-tuples are not equal since their
headers are not the same!
