Subject: | equality operators in OCaml |
Hi OCaml folk I apologize if I've been asking too many questions on this list recently, but I'm working on a heavy OCaml application and need help sometimes. I am having a disagreement with a colleague about how the equality operators in OCaml work and am trying to resolve it conclusively. 1) I understand that the '==' operator is basically a pointer comparison i.e. a==b true iff a and b are the same entity. Is this true? 2) Where can I find the code implementing the '==' operator in the OCaml code? 3) In case I do want to check object identity and can use the == operator, would it be faster to use '==', '=' or a match statement? Thanks Raj
