type _ witnesses = private ..

A version of the OCaml frontend packs the ast with type witnesses so that equalities can be recovered dynamically.

type _ migration_info

migration_info is an opaque type that is used to generate migration functions.

module type OCaml_version = sig ... end

An OCaml frontend versions an Ast, version number and some witnesses for conversion.

type 'types ocaml_version =
  (module OCaml_version
  with type Ast.Outcometree.out_class_type = 'types get_out_class_type
   and type Ast.Outcometree.out_module_type = 'types get_out_module_type
   and type Ast.Outcometree.out_phrase = 'types get_out_phrase
   and type Ast.Outcometree.out_sig_item = 'types get_out_sig_item
   and type Ast.Outcometree.out_type = 'types get_out_type
   and type Ast.Outcometree.out_type_extension = 'types get_out_type_extension
   and type Ast.Outcometree.out_value = 'types get_out_value)

A record for migrating each AST construct between two known versions

val migration_identity : ('a, 'a) migration_functions

Migrating to the same version is no-op

val migration_compose : 
  ('a, 'b) migration_functions ->
  ('b, 'c) migration_functions ->
  ('a, 'c) migration_functions

Migrations can be composed
