Subject: | [Caml-list] Total application of function with labels |
Total applications of functions with labeled arguments will work, even if the actual arguments have no labels. So if you call let my_a = ... in let my_b = ... in f my_b my_a it doesn't matter whether you declared let f (a:int) (b:int) = a * (b + 1);; or let f ~(a:int) ~(b:int) = a * (b + 1);; and none will save you from the bug of passing the arguments in the wrong order. A bug like this cost me a few nights of sleep a while ago. Is there a programming convention that would "enforce" labeling the arguments in a total application of a certain function?
