Name conflict with `Base64` #43

Closed samoht closed 9 years ago

samoht commented 9 years ago

I have no clue on how to fix it, but I got I have a weird error when trying to link with the new cohttp (which uses an external Base64 package):

A small repro case:

$ cat foot.ml
open Base64
open Nocrypto

$ ocamlopt -I /Users/thomas/.opam/system/lib/base64 -I /Users/thomas/.opam/system/lib/nocrypto foo.ml
File "foo.ml", line 1:
Error: The files /Users/thomas/.opam/system/lib/base64/base64.cmi
       and /Users/thomas/.opam/system/lib/nocrypto/nocrypto.cmi
       make inconsistent assumptions over interface Base64

Interestingly enough, the problem seems (almost) gone when I switch to 4.02:

$ ocamlopt -I /Users/thomas/.opam/4.02.1/lib/base64 -I /Users/thomas/.opam/system/4.02.0/nocrypto -c foo.ml
File "foo.ml", line 2, characters 5-13:
Error: Unbound module Nocrypto

I made a horrible mess by using packing, .mli for the packed object and module type of at the same time. That will need to go away.

It went away. Hopefully the name conflicts won't happen any more.

Cool thanks!
