[polyml] `Exception- Overflow raised' during functor application

I don't normally debug other people's programs for them but this rather intrigued me. The usual solution is to use Poly/ML's source-level debugger: PolyML.Compiler.debug := true; PolyML.Debug.breakEx Overflow; use "your test";

When I tried it this didn't actually help which surprised me and suggests that something needs to be done to improve the debugger. The problem actually was that you redefine Int32 as Int but only AFTER you have defined LiteralData and captured the old definition. That results in an overflow in a line that reads: val maxsmallnum = LiteralData.fromInt (getOpt (Int.maxInt, 0xffff))

Hi Poly/ML members:

I???m porting MLPolyR from SML/NJ to Poly/ML, and after getting smlnj-lib, ml-yacc and ml-lex loaded with Poly/ML I try to load the parser but the following error occurs:

Exception- Overflow raised
Exception- Overflow raised

and `poly` quits.

Here's a minimal setup that can reproduce the issue:

https://github.com/owo-lang/MLPolyR/tree/polyml_debug

Clone the tree and checkout `polyml_debug` branch,

poly --use load.sml

It already contains smlnj-lib, ml-yacc and ml-lex from MLton 20180207 releases.

My platform is macOS Mojave 10.14.4, Poly/ML version is 5.8 Release.

With the same setup MLton can compile the source without such an issue. (via `mlton mlpolyr.mlb`)

Hints on what could be the cause?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

LdBeth.
