Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

vlist

Implementation of vlists, a functional list-like data structure.

Usage

(require-extension vlist)

Documentation

The vlist library provides an implementations of vlists, a functional list-like data structure described by Phil Bagwell in "Fast Functional Lists, Hash-Lists, Dequeues and Variable-Length Arrays", EPFL Technical Report, 2002.

The idea is to store vlist elements in increasingly large contiguous blocks (implemented as vectors here). These blocks are linked to one another using a pointer to the next block (called `block-base' here) and an offset within that block (`block-offset' here). The size of these blocks form a geometric series with ratio `block-growth-factor'.

In the best case (e.g., using a vlist returned by `list->vlist'), elements from the first half of an N-element vlist are accessed in O(1) (assuming `block-growth-factor' is 2), and `vlist-length' takes only O(ln(N)). Furthermore, the data structure improves data locality since vlist elements are adjacent, which plays well with caches.

List procedures

vlist?procedure

Returns #t if x is a vlist, #f otherwise.

vlist-consprocedure

Creates a new vlist with item as its head and vlist as its tail.

vlist-headprocedure

Returns the head of vlist.

vlist-tailprocedure

Return the tail of vlist.

vlist-null?procedure

Returns true if vlist is empty, false otherwise.

list->vlistprocedure

Returns a new vlist whose contents correspond to lst.

vlist-foldprocedure

Fold over vlist, calling proc for each element.

vlist-fold-rightprocedure

Fold over vlist, calling proc for each element, starting from the last element.

vlist-reverseprocedure

Returns a new vlist whose content are those of vlist in reverse order.

vlist-mapprocedure

Maps proc over the elements of vlist and return a new vlist.

vlist->listprocedure

Return a new list containing the elements of vlist.

vlist-refprocedure

Returns the element at index index in vlist.

vlist-dropprocedure

Returns a new vlist that does not contain the count first elements of vlist.

vlist-takeprocedure

Returns a new vlist that contains only the count first elements of vlist.

vlist-filterprocedure

Returns a new vlist containing all the elements from vlist that satisfy pred.

vlist-deleteprocedure

Returns a new vlist corresponding to vlist without the elements equal? to x.

vlist-lengthprocedure

Returns the length of vlist.

vlist-unfoldprocedure

vlist constructor. Analogous to SRFI-1 `unfold'.

vlist-unfold-rightprocedure

vlist constructor. Analogous to SRFI-1 `unfold-right'.

vlist-appendprocedure

Appends the given vlists.

vlist-for-eachprocedure

Calls proc on each element of vlist.

Hash list procedures

Hash vlists are analogous to association lists.

vhash?procedure

Returns true if obj is a hash vlist, false otherwise.

vhash-consprocedure

vhash-consqprocedure

vhash-consvprocedure

Return a new hash list based on vhash where key is associated with value. Use hash to compute key's hash.

vhash-fold*procedure

Folds over all the values associated with key in vhash, with each call to proc having the form (proc value result), where result is the result of the previous call to proc and init the value of result for the first call to proc.

vhash-foldq*procedure

Same as vhash-fold*, but using eq?-hash and eq?.

vhash-foldv*procedure

Same as vhash-fold*, but using eqv?-hash and eqv?.

vhash-assocprocedure

Returns the first key/value pair from vhash whose key is equal to key according to the equal? equality predicate.

vhash-assqprocedure

Returns the first key/value pair from vhash whose key is eq? to key.

vhash-assvprocedure

Returns the first key/value pair from vhash whose key is eqv? to key.

vhash-deleteprocedure

vhash-delqprocedure

vhash-delvprocedure

Removes all associations from vhash with key, comparing keys with equal?.

vhash-foldprocedure

Folds over the key/pair elements of vhash from left to right, with each call to proc having the form (proc key value result), where result is the result of the previous call to proc and init the value of result for the first call to proc.

vhash-fold-rightprocedure

Folds over the key/pair elements of vhash from right to left, with each call to proc having the form (proc key value result), where result is the result of the previous call to proc and init the value of result for the first call to proc.

alist->vhashprocedure

Returns the vhash corresponding to alist, an association list.
