Class type

Extends Base.Ordering, intended to make code that matches on the result of a comparison more concise and easier to read.

type t = Base.Ordering.t =
  1. | Less
  2. | Equal
  3. | Greater
include Bin_prot.Binable.S with type t := t
include Bin_prot.Binable.S_only_functions with type t := t
val bin_size_t : t Bin_prot.Size.sizer
val bin_write_t : t Bin_prot.Write.writer
val bin_read_t : t Bin_prot.Read.reader
val __bin_read_t__ : (int -> t) Bin_prot.Read.reader

This function only needs implementation if t exposed to be a polymorphic variant. Despite what the type reads, this does *not* produce a function after reading; instead it takes the constructor tag (int) before reading and reads the rest of the variant t afterwards.

val bin_shape_t : Bin_prot.Shape.t
val bin_writer_t : t Bin_prot.Type_class.writer
val bin_reader_t : t Bin_prot.Type_class.reader
include Ppx_sexp_conv_lib.Sexpable.S with type t := t
include module type of Base.Ordering with type t := t
val compare : t -> t -> int
val all : t list
val hash_fold_t : Base.Hash.state -> t -> Base.Hash.state
val hash : t -> Base.Hash.hash_value
include Base.Sexpable.S with type t := t
val t_of_sexp : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> t
val sexp_of_t : t -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
include Base.Equal.S with type t := t
val equal : t Base.Equal.equal
val of_int : int -> t

of_int n is:

      Less     if n < 0
      Equal    if n = 0
      Greater  if n > 0
val to_int : t -> int

to_int t is:

      Less     -> -1
      Equal    -> 0
      Greater  -> 1

It can be useful when writing a comparison function to allow one to return Ordering.t values and transform them to ints later.
