<div class="paragraph"><p>For each datatype, tycon, and vector type, it builds and equality
function and translates calls to <span class="monospaced">MLton_equal</span> into calls to that
function.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Also generates calls to <span class="monospaced">IntInf_equal</span> and <span class="monospaced">Word_equal</span>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>For tuples, it does the equality test inline; i.e., it does not create
a separate equality function for each tuple type.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>All equality functions are created only if necessary, i.e., if
equality is actually used at a type.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Optimizations:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
for datatypes that are enumerations, do not build a case dispatch,
just use <span class="monospaced">MLton_eq</span>, as the backend will represent these as ints
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
deep equality always does an <span class="monospaced">MLton_eq</span> test first
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If one argument to <span class="monospaced">=</span> is a constant and the type will get
translated to an <span class="monospaced">IntOrPointer</span>, then just use <span class="monospaced">eq</span> instead of the
full equality. This is important for implementing code like the
following efficiently:
</p>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content monospaced">
<pre>if x = 0 ... (where x is of type IntInf.int)</pre>
</div></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Also convert pointer equality on scalar types to type specific
primitives.
