Original bug ID: 5364
Reporter: jfc
Assigned to: @xavierleroy
Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2012-09-25T18:07:21Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: major
Version: 3.12.1
Fixed in version: 3.12.1+dev
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

This is a reduced version of a program I sent to the email list. It crashes whether interpreted or compiled with ocamlc or ocamlopt version 3.12.1 or svn latest ("OCaml version 3.13.0+dev7 (2011-09-22)"), all using amd64 architecture.

The problem may be improper permutation of the fields of a module passed to Hashtbl.Make. In this case a value of type out_channel contains an int. In the original program a value of out_channel was a heap block.

I confirm the lack of a "thinning" operation on structure representations. The smaller example below shows the issue: no thinning takes place at ((val m : T) : S).

module type S = sig val f: int -> int end

module type T = sig val x: int val f: int -> int end

let m = (module struct let x = 1 let f x = x+1 end : T)

module M = ((val m : T) : S)

let crash = M.f 42
