Module Typerep_lib.Type_generic.Make

The name is used for debug information only in case of Broken_dependency. The required is to handle dependencies between generics at runtime. Example: if X is the module given to build a generic computation G that depends on three other computation A,B,C then X.required shall be A.ident ; B.ident ; C.ident

Parameters

X : sig ... end

Signature

type 'a t = 'a X.t

type 'a computation = 'a t

val ident : Ident.t

exception Not_implemented of string * string

generic_ident * typename or info

include Type_generic_intf.S with type a t := a t

type 'a t

include module type of sig ... end

module type S0 : sig ... end

module type S1 : sig ... end

module type S2 : sig ... end

module type S3 : sig ... end

module type S4 : sig ... end

module type S5 : sig ... end

val register0 : (module S0) ‑> unit

Extending an existing generic for a particular type name

The use of first class modules there is essentially because we cannot talk about a variable of kind * -> k val register1 : 'a 't Typerep.t -> ('a computation -> 'a 't computation) -> unit ...

val register1 : (module S1) ‑> unit

val register2 : (module S2) ‑> unit

val register3 : (module S3) ‑> unit

val register4 : (module S4) ‑> unit

val register5 : (module S5) ‑> unit

val register : 'a Std_internal.Typerep.t ‑> 'a computation ‑> unit

special less scary type when the type has no parameters. this is equivalent as using register0

val of_typerep : 'a Std_internal.Typerep.t ‑> [ `generic of 'a computation ]

main function : compute the generic computation from the typerep

module Computation : Computation with type 'a t = 'a t

exported to build a computation on top of a previous one
