For most IR types, neither
std::hash
norstd::equal_to
are provided, as it would be ambiguous whether comparisons should be performed with reference equality or structural equality. While this avoids ambiguity in the general case of nested structures, IR variables follow reference equality and are frequently used as lookup keys.This commit implements a specialization of
std::hash
andstd::equal_to
fortvm::GlobalVar
,tvm::tir::Var
, andtvm::relax::Var
. This allows them to be used as lookup keys forstd::unordered_set
andstd::unordered_map
without explicitly specifying explicitObjectPtrHash
andObjectPtrEqual
.
