Hi, Maybe you already know that Caml is a very good language in term of static checks (types, etc...). Most of the time the first build you produce is almost working as expected after you have been able to fix all the syntax error and stupid type mistakes you did.
But I am a bit frustrated by the poor level of the compilation error messages... It is quite hard to find the original problem and this is certainly due to the fact that Ocaml is not a verbose language. Anyway, consider the following code that is incorrect: let a () = let p = 1; let a = 2; 3;; Ocaml gives an error message at the last "end", ")" or ";;" token. Here at line 4. I think that Ocaml should report the error earlier when there is a let assignment immediately followed by a semi-colon. Regards, Delphin NOTE: I am using Objective Caml version 3.11.0 so maybe this was fixed later. Anyway, unless there is a really good reason for that, I don't plan to switch to a newer version since it frequently leads to Cygwin/MinGW toolchain regressions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ocaml-developer" group.
