Documentation

       Module type HashedType
        = sig end

       The input signature of the functor Hashtbl.Make .

       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  (provided  objects  do  not  contain
       floats)

       -         ( (fun x y -> compare x y = 0) , Hashtbl.hash ) for comparing objects by structure and handling
       Pervasives.nan correctly

       -        ( (==) , Hashtbl.hash ) for comparing objects by physical equality (e.g. for mutable  or  cyclic
       objects).
