Bonsoir,
Je suis tombe, par hasard, sur une phrase du manuel d'ocaml en ligne qui
m'a un peu interpelle (dans Filename):
> val chop_suffix : string -> string -> string
>
> chop_suffix name suff removes the suffix suff from the filename name. The
> behavior is undefined if name does not end with the suffix suff.
Cela ressemble fortement a un trou semantique. Pourquoi ne pas lever tout
simplement une exception qui caracteriserait entierement le comportement de
cette fonction?
Amicalement.
David.

[If you have time to waste, you can have a look on my proof that all the real
number are positive. Given x in R:
x^2>=0 (well-known result)
(x^2)^(1/2)>=(0)^(1/2) (use of power on each member)
x^(2*1/2)>=0 (use of the propertie: (x^n)^m=x^(n*m)
x^1>=0 (very easy simplification)
x>=0 (great!)]
