(new type_is_recursive rec_flag tds)#go () returns whether rec_flag, tds is really a recursive type. We disregard recursive occurrences appearing in arrow types. You can override the search for certain type expressions by inheriting from this class.

val attribute_of_warning : Location.t -> string -> Astlib.Ast_500.Parsetree.attribute

Encode a warning message into an 'ocaml.ppwarning' attribute which can be inserted in a generated Parsetree. The compiler will be responsible for reporting the warning.

when:

  • there is only one type declaration
  • the type is named t
  • there are less than 4 type parameters
  • there are no constraints on the type parameters

It will take care of giving fresh names to unnamed type parameters.
