Subject: | non-recursive recursive module segfault |
What behaviour should I expect for the following code? : module rec M : sig val m : unit -> unit end = struct let h _ _ = () let m = h () end let _ = M.m () According to the documentation this could trigger the exception "Undefined_recursive_module", but instead it segfaults. If I remove the `rec' keyword then it "works", i.e. simply returns unit. I was rather hoping that M would be treated as a non-recursive module, despite the `rec', since it's not actually recursive. It's easy enough to avoid the segmentation fault: eta-expanding m, adding a trivial value component to the signature, removing `rec', etc., but I was hoping the compiler would help out in this case. In any case, should the segmentation fault be considered a bug? This is on OCaml 3.09.2/Linux/x86. Jeremy.
