| Subject: | forward function definitions |
Hi, We're developing a fairly large system with multiple function definitions. It's inevitable that some functions may call other functions defined later(may not even be recursive calls as in the case of Sys.Signal_handle). My question is: how do I solve such a problem which is extremely trival in other languages? Thanks. --Junbiao My current solution is really ugly: let a_forward_ref = (ref (fun _ -> raise (Failure "undefined") : int -> unit));; let register_signals () = ..... Sys.signal Sys.sigalrm (Sys.Signal_handle !a_forward_ref) ..... ......... let a sigid = ...... let assign_a_forward_ref () = a_forward_ref := ref a And im main()(may be in another file): ...... assign_a_forward_ref () ...... I must be missing something or this language is:)
