Module Base__.Comparator

type ('a, 'witness) t = private {
compare : 'a -> 'a -> int;
sexp_of_t : 'a -> Base.Sexp.t;
}
type ('a, 'b) comparator = ('a'b) t
module type S = sig ... end
module type S1 = sig ... end
module type S_fc = sig ... end
val make : compare:('a -> 'a -> int) -> sexp_of_t:('a -> Base.Sexp.t) -> (module S_fc with type comparable_t = 'a)

make creates a comparator witness for the given comparison. It is intended as a lightweight alternative to the functors below, to be used like so: include (val Comparator.make ~compare ~sexp_of_t)

module Poly : S1 with type 'a t = 'a
module S_to_S1 : functor (S : S) -> S1 with type 'a t = S.t with type comparator_witness = S.comparator_witness
module Make : functor (M : sig ... end) -> S with type t := M.t

Make creates a comparator value and its phantom comparator_witness type for a nullary type.

module Make1 : functor (M : sig ... end) -> S1 with type 'a t := 'a M.t

Make1 creates a comparator value and its phantom comparator_witness type for a unary type. It takes a compare and sexp_of_t that have non-standard types because the Comparator.t type doesn't allow passing in additional values for the type argument.

module type Derived = sig ... end
module Derived : functor (M : sig ... end) -> Derived with type 'a t := 'a M.t

Derived creates a comparator function that constructs a comparator for the type 'a t given a comparator for the type 'a.

module type Derived2 = sig ... end
module Derived2 : functor (M : sig ... end) -> Derived2 with type ('a, 'b) t := ('a'b) M.t

Derived2 creates a comparator function that constructs a comparator for the type ('a, 'b) t given comparators for the type 'a and 'b.
