[ Many thanks, Xavier, for your previous answer to my byterun
question! ]
Consider the following O'Caml fragment:
type bla = A of int | B of int * int | C of int * int * int
match f 5 with B(_, _) -> 17
The latter line is compiled into Lambda intermediate code as:
(catch
(let (match/51 (apply (global f/49g) 5))
(catch
(switch match/51
case tag 1:
(let (match/52 (field 0 match/51) match/53 (field 1 match/51)) 17))=
with exit))
with (raise (makeblock 0 (global Match_failure/12g) [0: "" 0 28])))
Does the inner "catch" serve any purpose or is it redundant?
