I need an OCaml map with keys of type int so I am using Map.Make to create one. However it seems that the standard modules'only' provide modules like Big_int, Int32, Int64 and Nativeint which require conversions. So I have to do things like:
module IntMap = Map.Make(Int32) let a_map = IntMap.add (Int32.of_int 0) "zero" IntMap.empty ;;
... which I would rather avoid or define my own silly Int module do deal with simple int literals or values without requiring conversion functions:
module Int = struct type t = int let compare x y = if x < y then -1 else if x > y then 1 else 0 end ;; module IntMap = Map.Make(Int) let a_map = IntMap.add 0 "zero" IntMap.empty ;;
Am I missing something obvious here?
