type expanded_type = {

  2. expanded : Types.type_expr;

val trivial_expansion : Types.type_expr -> expanded_type

trivial_expansion ty creates an expanded_type whose expansion is also ty. Usually, you want Ctype.expand_type instead, since the expansion carries useful information; however, in certain circumstances, the error is about the expansion of the type, meaning that actually performing the expansion produces more confusing or inaccurate output.

merlin specific

val map : ('a -> 'b) -> ('a, 'variety) t -> ('b, 'variety) t
val incompatible_fields : name:string -> got:Types.type_expr -> expected:Types.type_expr -> (Types.type_expr, _) elt
val swap_trace : ('a, 'variety) t -> ('a, 'variety) t

The traces ('variety t) are the core error types. However, we bundle them up into three "top-level" error types, which are used elsewhere: unification_error, equality_error, and moregen_error. In the case of equality_error, this has to bundle in extra information; in general, it distinguishes the three types of errors and allows us to distinguish traces that are being built (or processed) from those that are complete and have become the final error. These error types have the invariants that their traces are nonempty; we ensure that through three smart constructors with matching names.

type unification_error = private {
  1. trace : unification error;
}
type equality_error = private {
  1. trace : comparison error;
  2. subst : (Types.type_expr * Types.type_expr) list;
}
type moregen_error = private {
  1. trace : comparison error;
}
val unification_error : trace:unification error -> unification_error
val equality_error : trace:comparison error -> subst:(Types.type_expr * Types.type_expr) list -> equality_error
val moregen_error : trace:comparison error -> moregen_error
type comparison_error =
  1. | Equality_error of equality_error
  2. | Moregen_error of moregen_error

Wraps up the two different kinds of comparison errors in one type

val swap_unification_error : unification_error -> unification_error

Lift swap_trace to unification_error
