调研方向

Start in compiler/ml/printtyp.ml at same_path and read how it compares paths used by type_expansion and super_type_expansion; the issue points to alias normalization via Env.normalize_path. Check the type mismatch and coercion examples, then run the snapshot test GeneratorResumeTypeWidening mentioned in the issue. Done means aliased types print once, matching the output for the equivalent unaliased type.

描述

When a type is reached through a module alias, type errors print it twice, once as written and once as its "expansion", which prints identically. This hits every stdlib type used through Stdlib's aliases (Map.t, Generator.t, …).

Type mismatch
let f = (x: Map.t<string, int>): Map.t<string, string> => x
This has type: Map.t<string, int> (defined as Map.t<string, int>)
But it's expected to have type:
  Map.t<string, string> (defined as Map.t<string, string>)
Coercion
let widen = (g: Generator.t<int, unit, [#X]>) => (g :> Generator.t<int, unit, [#X | #Y]>)
Type Generator.t<int, unit, [#X]> = Generator.t<int, unit, [#X]>
is not a subtype of
  Generator.t<int, unit, [#X | #Y]> = Generator.t<int, unit, [#X | #Y]>

Expected: This has type: Map.t<string, int> and Type Generator.t<int, unit, [#X]> is not a subtype of Generator.t<int, unit, [#X | #Y]>, as printed when the type is written without the alias (Stdlib_Map.t<string, int>).

With a local alias the output is not identical but still says nothing, since an alias is the same module:

module Inner = {
  type t<'a>
}
module A = Inner
let m = (x: A.t<[#X]>) => (x :> A.t<[#X | #Y]>)
Type A.t<[#X]> = Inner.t<[#X]> is not a subtype of
  A.t<[#X | #Y]> = Inner.t<[#X | #Y]>
Likely cause

same_path in compiler/ml/printtyp.ml, which decides whether to print the expansion (type_expansion, super_type_expansion), compares the paths from best_type_path with Path.same. That doesn't normalize module aliases, so Stdlib.Map.t and its expansion Stdlib_Map.t count as different; the short-path printer then prints both as Map.t. Comparing the alias-normalized paths (Env.normalize_path) should fix it.

Found while adding a test for #8981, whose GeneratorResumeTypeWidening snapshot records the doubled output.
