Original bug ID: 5264
Reporter: znajem
Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2013-08-31T10:46:29Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Version: 3.12.0
Fixed in version: 3.13.0+dev
Category: documentation
Child of: #5261

Bug description

The parsing part of the (symbolic processing of expressions) example reports errors. The error messages are included in both the HTML and PDF versions of the release 3.12 manual.

To fix, I added the following line to the beginning of the code:
##load "dynlink.cma"


As a minor suggestion, I think the example should indicate that it uses polymorphic variants (which is not introduced until section 4.2) rather than the normal variants that were introduced in section 1.4

I see now that this has been reported earlier. I apologize for the duplication. I'll see if I can delete it.

You do not have to apologize; duplicates are not a big problem as long as we detect them...
Moreover, it is sometimes tricky for a reporter to successfully search for a previously reported problem.

let's keep it for the "minor suggestion" part

But the example does not use polymorphic variants, and I can't find any occurrence of the backquote character before section 4.2. I'm closing this report.
