Subject: Pervasives.compare != Pervasives.compare
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 00:57:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <A535C303-8106-4332-BDBA-3AF5247A5ED4@cs.umd.edu> (raw)
I was surprised when I noticed the following behavior:
Objective Caml version 3.11.2
# compare == compare;;
- : bool = false
# let f = compare;;
val f : 'a -> 'a -> int = <fun>
# f == compare;;
- : bool = false
# f == f;;
- : bool = true
# let g = compare;;
val g : 'a -> 'a -> int = <fun>
# f == g;;
- : bool = false
Playing around a bit more, I seemed to find that every time you access
an 'external' function, you get a distinct reference (is there a
better term?) to it. This seems a bit odd to me. Can someone explain?
Thanks,
Elnatan
