PolyHash is an optimization pass for the SSA IntermediateLanguage, invoked from SSASimplify.

Description

This pass implements polymorphic, structural hashing.

Implementation

poly-hash.sig poly-hash.fun

Details and Notes

For each datatype, tycon, and vector type, it builds and equality function and translates calls to MLton_hash into calls to that function.

For tuples, it does the equality test inline; i.e., it does not create a separate equality function for each tuple type.

All equality functions are created only if necessary, i.e., if equality is actually used at a type.
