In general case this is not currently possible, but I think there is some work going on by OCamlPro for better gdb integration [1], if you are talking about showing precise types - as it needs some extra debug information. To see if it's a variant constructor, array, string or closure etc. you can look at the tag however. There is a Python script by Ygrek [2] that probably to some extent does what you want. - Wojciech [1] http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5487 [2] http://ygrek.org.ua/p/code/mlvalues.py.html -- Caml-list mailing list.
