I had a similar problem trying to access some (e.g.) print routines in
another module. My solution probably isn't the most graceful, but instead of
referencing the print routines directly, I accessed them through a
reference. The reference is initialized by the module providing the print
routines.
In other words:
To fix
moduleA:
...
B.print args
...
moduleB:
...
A.something
...
I used
moduleA:
pv = ref stub;;
...
!pv args
...
moduleB:
...
A.pv := print;;
...
A.something
...
Of course, module B is really using a subclass of what it's accessing from
A, so an object approach might be more appealing (and more correct). Since I
only had two functions to deal with, I found the reference approach
acceptable.
