Description

Hello,

I’m not sure of this issue, but when working with the functorial interface I had some error with this code:

module Make (HTML : Html_sigs.T) = struct end
module M = Make (Tyxml.Html)

which give an error in the compilation:

The module `Svg' is required but not provided

Is this intended ? It seems to come from the signature in the functorial interface which use destructive substitution (but I’m not sure how to undestand it in the case of modules):

and module Svg := Svg

Research direction

Start with the Html_sigs.Make functorial interface and its and module Svg := Svg signature, then reproduce the reported snippet using Tyxml.Html. Compare the required Html_sigs.T modules with what Tyxml.Html provides; done means the intended compatibility is established and the reported compilation error is resolved or documented.
