Module Common

module Common: sig .. end
Basic types and definitions required throughout the system.

exception Bug of string
exception Finally of exn * exn
Raised when finalization after an exception failed, too. The first exception argument is the one raised by the initial function, the second exception the one raised by the finalizer.
val unimplemented : string -> 'a Or_error.t
type decimal = float 
type passfail = 
| Pass
| Fail of string
type read_only 
Handy types for marking things read-only and read-write. One should not expose functions for converting between read_only/immutable/read_write because the private types expose the subtyping. Users would say "(db :> read_only Db.t)" to cast. The difference between read-only and immutable is that someone else can change a read-only object, while immutable never changes.
type immutable = private read_only 
type read_write = private read_only 
type never_returns = Never_returns.never_returns 
never_returns should be used as the return type of functions that don't return and might block forever, rather than 'a or _. This forces callers of such functions to have a call to never_returns at the call site, which makes it clear to readers what's going on. We do not intend to use this type for functions such as failwithf that always raise an exception.
val never_returns : never_returns -> 'a

Error handling

val protect : f:(unit -> 'a) -> finally:(unit -> unit) -> 'a
See exn.mli

Functions from function.ml

val ident : 'a -> 'a
val const : 'a -> 'b -> 'a
val (==>) : bool -> bool -> bool
val ascending : 'a -> 'a -> int
A comparator that returns results in ascending order.

A comparator that returns results in descending order.

val descending : 'a -> 'a -> int
val (^/) : string -> string -> string
same as Filename.concat

val equal : 'a -> 'a -> bool
toplevel binding for polymorphic equality (=). Named for easy use in labelled arguments (one can do f x y ~equal).

we have our own version of these two, the INRIA version doesn't release the runtime lock.
