Subject: | unused variable error with objects |
I'm a little confused by some code that I'm trying to compile some code with "-w Ae -warn-error Ae". Below is an examle: class foo = object method bar ~(snoo : string) = () end;; let biff = new foo;; biff#bar ~snoo:"hi";; When I compile it (ocamlc -c -w Ae -warn-error Ae foo.ml), as expected, I get: File "foo.ml", line 2, characters 15-19: Warning Z: unused variable snoo. With labeled functions, I usually do something like ~snoo:_, but it does not work in this exampled with methods: --- class foo = object method bar ~(snoo : string):_ = () end;; let biff = new foo;; biff#bar ~snoo:"hi";; -- ocamlc -c -w Ae -warn-error Ae foo.ml File "foo.ml", line 2, characters 15-19: Warning Z: unused variable snoo. On a whim, I did the following, which surprisingly worked: class foo = object method bar ~(_snoo : string) = () end;; let biff = new foo;; biff#bar ~_snoo:"hi";; And that compiles, which confused me. But I have to put the underbar into the method call, which seems wrong. Is there a solution to this? I'm running 3.10.1, from godi. Thanks! -- Ralph
