Lazy_backtrack(3)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so this is the Lazy_backtrack(3) page from the OCaml library, and the NAME section is serving pure minimalism: it says Lazy_backtrack and then literally no description. No extra lore, no cap. ✨

The module is Lazy_backtrack, and its signature is exactly this:

Module Lazy_backtrack

slay. 🫢


πŸ“š Documentation πŸ“š

here's the full signature lineup, bestie β€” every type and val, zero crumbs left behind. πŸ’…

  • type ('a, 'b) t β€” the main two-parameter type, and the docs are giving mysterious icon energy. πŸŽ€
  • type log β€” a log type, also mysterious, also iconic. πŸ¦‹
  • val force β€” the exact type is ('a -> 'b) -> ('a, 'b) t -> 'b. The docs do not expand further, so we're not gonna invent lore. πŸ™ˆ
  • val create β€” the exact type is 'a -> ('a, 'b) t, periodt. ✨
  • val get_arg β€” the exact type is ('a, 'b) t -> 'a option, and yes that's an option in the signature. 🌸
  • val get_contents β€” the exact type is ('a, 'b) t -> ('a, 'b) Either.t, capital Either.t and all. 🌈
  • val create_forced β€” the exact type is 'b -> ('a, 'b) t. πŸ”₯
  • val create_failed β€” the exact type is exn -> ('a, 'b) t, so exn is right there in the signature. πŸ’€
  • val log β€” the exact type is unit -> log; yes, log is both a type and a val name here, we love a repeat. πŸ‘‘
  • val force_logged β€” this one's the chunky signature, so here it is exactly:
val force_logged : log -> ('a -> ('b, 'c) result) -> ('a, ('b, 'c)
       result) t -> ('b, 'c) result
  • val backtrack β€” the exact type is log -> unit, and that's the whole signature. πŸ’œ
