Bug description

The following mli code causes the compiler to abort with a Ctype.Unify(_)
exception. This happens both in 4.01.0 and the latest 4.02 trunk snapshot
(both installed via OPAM).

To attempt compilation you need the latest Tyxml installed. Running
"ocamlfind ocamlc -package tyxml -c test.mli" suffices to reproduce
the error. (My apologies for not being able to produce a self-contained
example. I found that even small tweaks to the functor make the problem
go away.)

module type S =
sig
type t
type u
end

module Make: functor (Html5: Html5_sigs.T with type 'a Xml.wrap = 'a and type 'a wrap = 'a and type 'a list_wrap = 'a list) -> S with
type t = Html5_types.div Html5.elt and
type u = < foo: Html5.uri >

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Tyxml 3.2.x (e.g. "opam install tyxml")

  2. Save code fragment as test.mli

  3. ocamlfind ocamlc -package tyxml -c test.mli

Jacques, do you have any time to have a look at this one?

I'm back from holidays today and I'll try to look into it,
but the opam dependency makes things harder.

Fixed in 4.02, at revision 15119.

The problem was a missing Ctype.init_def(Ident.current_time())
after introducing the functor argument in the environment.
As a result, update_level would fail attempting to lower the
level of the argument below its stamp.

The following stripped down example has no dependencies:

module type S = sig type u end

module type T = sig
type 'a wrap
type uri
end

module Make: functor (Html5 : T with type 'a wrap = 'a) ->
S with type u = < foo : Html5.uri >
