Bug description

Full_Name: Hugo Herbelin
Version: 3.06
OS:
Submission from: arbois.inria.fr (128.93.11.104)

Hi,

The user-friendly names for non-generalized variable when using the -i option

are chosen on a per-function basis while a consistent naming throughout a same
file
would help debugging. Here is an example:

cat a.ml
let tab = ref []
let f g x = g (List.assoc x !tab)

ocamlc -i a.ml
val tab : ('_a * '_b) list ref
val f : ('_a -> 'b) -> '_c -> 'b

where _a in tab is _c in f and _b in tab is _a in f.

By the way, the link to node8.html on
http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/problems.html
is broken (should be a link to manual022.html).

Thanks.

Hugo

With the integration of #1225, this issue should be fixed in 4.06: the infered mli for the proposed example reads now as:

val tab : ('_weak1 * '_weak2) list ref
val f : ('_weak2 -> 'a) -> '_weak1 -> 'a
