Module Int () : Id with type t = private int

An abstract unique identifier based on ordinary OCaml integers. Be careful, this may easily overflow on 32-bit platforms! Int63 is a safer choice for portability.

Int is useful when one is passing unique ids to C and needs a guarantee as to their representation. Int is always represented as an integer, while Int63 is either an integer (on 64-bit machines) or a pointer (on 32-bit machines).

The generated ids will therefore be fast to generate and not use much memory. If you do not have very stringent requirements on the size, speed, and ordering of your IDs then you should use the UUIDM library instead, which will give you a truly unique id, even amongst different runs and different machines.

Parameters

Signature

type t = private int

The sexps and strings look like integers.

val compare : t -> t -> int
val min : t -> t -> t
val max : t -> t -> t
val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~cmp:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool
val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).
