srfi-47

Description

An alternative arrays package conforming to SRFI-47.

Author

Repository

https://github.com/diamond-lizard/srfi-47

Requirements

None

Documentation

The full specification can be found at the SRFI website. The array prototypes for complex numbers are not supported (ac64). The 64-bit signed and unsigned array prototypes (au64 and as64) are provided but may not support the full range of numerical values on 32-bit architectures.

Additionally, the following procedure is defined:

array-store ARRAYprocedure

Returns the underlying storage object, which may be a vector or a SRFI-4 number vector.

Note: this array package is not compatible with the default array library (srfi-25) that is provided with the base system. Don't use these two libraries together in the same program.

Examples

(use srfi-47)

(define fred (make-array '#(#f) 8 8))
(define freds-diagonal
  (make-shared-array fred (lambda (i) (list i i)) 8))
(array-set! freds-diagonal 'foo 3)
(array-ref fred 3 3)
 => foo

(define freds-center
  (make-shared-array fred (lambda (i j) (list (+ 3 i) (+ 3 j)))
                     2 2))
(array-ref freds-center 0 0)
 => foo
