Alias for variables in pattern matching
0
I often have something similar to the following (standard type definition for trees):
match tree with
| Branch(v, Branch(vl, tll, tlr), _) = f Branch(vl, tll, tlr)
In other languages there is the ability to do something like:
match tree with
| Branch(v, tl@Branch(_, _, _), _) = f tl
Does OCaml have something similar?

This is done using the as keyword in OCaml:
match tree with
| Branch(v, (Branch(_, _, _) as tl), _) = f tl

This is failing to compile for me, although it works if I surround theBranch(_,_,_) as tlin parenthesis

@Cjen1 Right, my mistake. Without the parentheses it takev, Branch(_,_,_)to be the left operand ofas.
