Module Std_kernel.Nothing

module Nothing: Nothing

type t = Nothing0.t 
val unreachable_code : t -> 'a
Because there are no values of type Nothing.t, a piece of code that has a value of type Nothing.t must be unreachable. In such an unreachable piece of code, one can use unreachable_code to give the code whatever type one needs. For example:

      let f (r : (int, Nothing.t) Result.t) : int =
        match r with
        | Ok i -> i
        | Error n -> Nothing.unreachable_code n
      ;;
    

include Identifiable.S
It may seem weird that this is identifiable, but we're just trying to anticipate all the contexts in which people may need this. It would be a crying shame if you had some variant type involving Nothing.t that you wished to make identifiable, but were prevented for lack of Identifiable.S here.

Obviously, of_string and t_of_sexp will raise an exception.
