Original bug ID: 5657
Reporter: furuse

Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor

Bug description

The typing error of the following code is reported with a strange location:

--
type t = { a : int; b : int }

let a = 1
let b = "hello"

let _ = { a; b; }

File "bug.ml", line 6, characters 10-14:
Error: This expression has type string but an expression was expected of type
int

10-14 contains "a; b;", not "b"...

--

By the way, it would be nice if I could choose a Product Version OCaml 4.00.0 beta to report beta bugs. Is it not available for mere reporters?

It is different from #5073, which is already fixed.
I cannot seem to find the cause: apparently this is a bug in the parser,
since this is where punning is handled, but everything seems correct...

The lbl_expr_list is wrong: exp_of_label calls symbol_rloc (through mkexp), which returns the location of the whole left-hand side of the current action. Since lbl_expr_list matches the sequence of fields since the beginning, the rloc starts at the beginning of the sequence.

Fixed in trunk (12636 for expressions, 12637 for patterns) and 4.00 (12638).
