Module Unique_id.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 Core_kernel__.Import.int
The sexps and strings look like integers.
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 variantt
afterwards.

Caveat: values created with of_float
, of_sexp
, or of_string
may be equal to previously created values.

val ascending : t -> t -> int
ascending
is identical tocompare
.descending x y = ascending y x
. These are intended to be mnemonic when used likeList.sort ~compare:ascending
andList.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
between t ~low ~high
meanslow <= t <= high
val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t
clamp_exn t ~min ~max
returnst'
, the closest value tot
such thatbetween t' ~low:min ~high:max
is true.Raises if
not (min <= max)
.
