type
t
The type of the hashtable keys.
val equal : t -> t -> bool
The equality predicate used to compare keys.
val hash : 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.hash
) for comparing objects by structure,
((fun x y -> compare x y = 0)
, Hashtbl.hash
)
for comparing objects by structure and handling Pervasives.nan
correctly, and
((==)
, Hashtbl.hash
) for comparing objects by addresses
(e.g. for cyclic keys).
