Writing CLS compliant code in F#

Question

I am very new to F# and I started to write my functional wrapper on top of OpenGL. I also intend to use it to write a graphics engine which should have interop with all .Net languages.

But it is hard to find information about which code constructs in F# are not CLS compliant.

For example I already know of a few that are not CLS compliant:

• static type constrains
• tupleless functions
• probably 'T list and Seq
• maybe even union types

How do I know what features of F# are not CLS compliant?

Answer 1

Use the CLSCompliant attribute. It will guarantee that your code is CLS-Compliant at compile time.

Like this:

module myProject.AssemblyInfo

open System

[<assembly: CLSCompliant(true)>]

do()
