Hello
I'm having an issue that is similar to the one reproduced in the code
below:
a.ml:
module SubA :
sig
type t
val f : t -> unit
val id : t -> int
end =
struct
type t = { id: int }
let f = B.f
let id x = x.id
end
a.mli:
module SubA :
sig
type t
val f : t -> unit
val id : t -> int
end
b.ml:
open A
let f x = print_int (SubA.id x)
b.mli:
open A
val f : SubA.t -> unit
When I compile this, I get the following message:
File "a.ml", line 7, characters 2-75:
Signature mismatch:
Modules do not match:
sig type t = { id : int; } val f : A.SubA.t -> unit val id : t -> int
end
is not included in
sig type t val f : t -> unit val id : t -> int end
Values do not match:
val f : A.SubA.t -> unit
is not included in
val f : t -> unit
Shouldn't "t" (from A.SubA) and A.SubA.t be recognized as the same type
here? I don't understand why they aren't. Is there any workaround for
this issue or is this kind of thing (yet again) a sign that there's
something fishy in my design?
Thanks in advance,
Andre
