| Summary | 0005565: Typing errors in the examples of the "Format mini-guide" on the website |
| Description | Eugen Zalinescu reported on the beginner's list that the "Format mini-guide" contains stale code using (Format.printf "%a") that does not type anymore.
format guide: http://caml.inria.fr/resources/doc/guides/format.en.html [^]
list discussion: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners/message/13423 [^]
The problem is that `Format.printf "%a"` takes a formatter-parametrized (formatter -> 'a -> unit) argument, rather than simply ('a -> unit) as this mini-guide assumes.
I believe the easiest fix would be to remove this "using printf" section entirely, as the following "using fprintf" section provides the same information. |
