Re: [Caml-list] Is there a typed bin-annot cmt tree with module and type aliases resolved?

Hi,

The goal of this cmt file is to reflect the AST as it is in the source file
so that explains why the aliases are not meant to be resolved.
You can perform an analysis on the tree and rewrite it while resolving
aliases. A functor will let you write just the functions you need and do
the pattern matching for you : typedtreeIter.ml. It is located in the
"typing" directory of the OCaml sources.
