Hi all, The following example mystifies me let f ?opt x = match opt with | None -> x | Some dx -> x + dx let g x = x + 1 let h1 = function | 0 -> [g] | _ -> [f; g] let h2 = function | _ -> [f; g] h1 is typable but not h2. Why is that ? --f PS: the example code is not meant to be useful in any way other than reproducing the behavior of type checking. ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
