18.1.2 Modifying Hash Table Keys</H2> <P>
<P>
The function supplied as the <TT>:test</TT> argument to <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_mk_has.htm#make-hash-table"><B>make-hash-table</B></A> specifies the `equivalence test' for the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_h.htm#hash_table"><I>hash table</I></A> it creates. <P>
An <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A> is `visibly modified' with regard to an equivalence test if there exists some set of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>objects</I></A> (or potential <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>objects</I></A>) which are equivalent to the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A> before the modification but are no longer equivalent afterwards. <P>
If an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A> O1 is used as a key in a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_h.htm#hash_table"><I>hash table</I></A> H and is then visibly modified with regard to the equivalence test of H, then the consequences are unspecified if O1, or any <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A> O2 equivalent to O1 under the equivalence test (either before or after the modification), is used as a key in further operations on H. The consequences of using O1 as a key are unspecified even if O1 is visibly modified and then later modified again in such a way as to undo the visible modification. <P>
Following are specifications of the modifications which are visible to the equivalence tests which must be supported by <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_h.htm#hash_table"><I>hash tables</I></A>. The modifications are described in terms of modification of components, and are defined recursively. Visible modifications of components of the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A> are visible modifications of the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A>. <P>
