Module Fix.GlueSource
Glue contains glue code that helps build various implementations of association maps.
Some common types, packaged as modules of signature TYPE.
An arbitrary type can be equipped with an ordering function, just by using OCaml's built-in generic comparison function.
An arbitrary type can be equipped with equality and hash functions, just by using OCaml's built-in generic equality and hash functions.
If there is an injection of t into u, then an ordering on u gives rise to an ordering on t.
If there is an injection of t into u, then a hashed-type structure on u can be transported to t.
If there is an injection of t into u, then an implementation of minimal imperative maps for the type u can be transported to the type t.
If there is an injection of t into u, and if the inverse mapping can be effectively computed, then an implementation of imperative maps for the type u can be transported to the type t.
Implementations of various map signatures.
An implementation of persistent maps can be made to satisfy the interface of imperative maps. An imperative map is represented as a persistent map, wrapped within a reference cell.
An implementation of imperative maps as arrays is possible if keys are consecutive integers.
An implementation of imperative maps as a hash table.
An implementation of imperative maps as a weak hash table. Use with caution: this table can forget some of its entries, and can therefore be unsuitable for use in some applications.
MinimalSemiLattice converts a semi-lattice to a minimal semi-lattice; that is, it implements leq_join in terms of separate leq and join operations.
