Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2016-12-07T10:37:05Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal

Category: typing

Bug description

In the following, the counter-example produced by the exhaustivity check is not printed correctly:

    OCaml version 4.02.1

let f = function a (b 1) -> true;;

Warning 8: this pattern-matching is not exhaustive.
Here is an example of a value that is not matched:
a b 0
val f : [< a of [< b of int ] ] -> bool =

a b 0 should be a (b 0)

The easy way to fix this is to fix the code of the pretty_* functions in typing/parmatch.ml. A simple patch is attached that fixes the reported issue.

The good way to fix this, in my opinion, is to have this code not pretty-print a value extrapolated from a pattern, but to extrapolate this value into a valid AST tree, and then call the Pprintast functions to print expressions and handle the ugly details of pretty-printings. Pprintast is not a bug-free zone, but we could at least centralize our pretty-printing bugs in a single place.
