Thanks! That’s very helpful. The next question is in the same setting (my foo executable below).
If I signal SIGINT to this with Control-C I don’t get the normal “Compilation interrupted” message but instead have the process exit entirely. Do I need to reinstall a signal handler or similar?

This then gets inherited by the executable. The solution is to set the print depth before starting the shell e.g. fun main () = (PolyML.print_depth 50; PolyML.shell()); David On 05/09/2017 17:06, [email protected] wrote: > If I write foo.ML: > > ```` > fun main() = PolyML.shell() > ```` > > and compile this with polyc: > > ```` > $ polyc foo.ML -o foo > ```` > > the resulting executable doesn’t give me the usual acknowledgements of my declarations: > > ```` > $ ./foo >> 3; >> 4; >> print "hello\n"; > hello >> 3 + true; > poly: : error: Type error in function application. > Function: + : int * int -> int > Argument: (3, true) : int * bool > Reason: > Can't unify int (*In Basis*) with bool (*In Basis*) > (Different type constructors) > Found near 3 + true > Static Errors > > ```` > > Here I’d have expected to see lines like `val it = 3 : int`. The behaviour after the compilation of the print call suggests that stdout is live, and that things really are being compiled. The error message after the last interaction is similarly reassuring. > > If I call PolyML.main() inside a standard poly shell (a funny thing to do), it does work as expected. > > I also tried to write code like that behind PolyML.shell by hand, and though I was providing a CPOutStream TextIO.print, I also failed to see any output from the compiler. > > Is there something I should be doing differently? > > Michael > > _______________________________________________ > polyml mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.inf.ed.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/polyml > _______________________________________________ polyml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.inf.ed.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/polyml
