[mercury-users] unresolved polymorphism in read_term_from_string

[Jeff Thompson]

Hello again.  I've been working with the code parser, and gratified that 
it does what I expect.  The code below correctly outputs "test".  
However, the predicate is declared as
:- pred read_term_from_string(string::in, string::in, posn::out, 
read_term(T)::out) is det.

and the compiler outputs the warning:
test.m:004: In predicate `main'/2:
test.m:004:   warning: unresolved polymorphism.
test.m:004:   The variables with unbound types were:
test.m:004:     V_14: term.term(T)
test.m:004:     V_8: list.list(term.term(T))
test.m:004:     V_6: varset.varset(T)
test.m:004:     Term: term_io.read_term(T)
test.m:004:   The unbound type variables will be implicitly bound to the
test.m:004:   builtin type `void'.

Do I need to bind the type T to `void' when calling 
read_term_from_string?  If so, how?

Thanks for any help again,
- Jeff
