The structure is fairly small and simple, so it should be sufficient to verify that a generated module is equivalent to a certain hand-coded module ... In addition to Martin Jambon's suggestion you can also compare the internal camlp4 abstract syntax trees of the generated and the handcoded module: - use camlp4 with a printer that marshal's the ast into a file for both, the generated and the handwritten module - in a separate program marshal both files back and compare them You probably want a handwritten equality test in the second step because of the location info in the ast.
