We show the NP-hardness of the satisfiability problem for subtype inequalities between object types built by using simultaneously both the functional and the record type constructors, without base types. Earlier research concentrated on the complexity of subtyping either solely functional, or solely record types. In both cases deterministic cubic time algorithms are known.
