Module type HashedType
= sigend
The input signature of the functor Hashtbl.Make .
typet
The type of the hashtable keys.
valequal : t->t->bool
The equality predicate used to compare keys.
valhash : t->int
A hashing function on keys. It must be such that if two keys are equal according to equal , then they
have identical hash values as computed by hash . Examples: suitable ( equal , hash ) pairs for arbitrary
key types include
- ( (=) , Hashtbl.HashedType.hash ) for comparing objects by structure (provided objects do not
contain floats)
- ( (funxy->comparexy=0) , Hashtbl.HashedType.hash ) for comparing objects by structure
and handling nan correctly
- ( (==) , Hashtbl.HashedType.hash ) for comparing objects by physical equality (e.g. for mutable
or cyclic objects).
