BatteriesExceptionless.Hashtbl
include module type of struct include BatHashtbl end
Operations over hashtables.
This module replaces Stdlib's Hashtbl module. All functions and types are provided here.
type ('a, 'b) t = ('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t
A Hashtable with keys of type 'a and values 'b
val create : int -> ('a, 'b) t
Hashtbl.create n
creates a new, empty hash table, with initial size n
. For best results, n
should be on the order of the expected number of elements that will be in the table. The table grows as needed, so n
is just an initial guess.
val length : ('a, 'b) t -> int
Hashtbl.length tbl
returns the number of bindings in tbl
. Multiple bindings are counted multiply, so Hashtbl.length
gives the number of times Hashtbl.iter
calls its first argument.
val is_empty : ('a, 'b) t -> bool
Hashtbl.is_empty tbl
returns true
if there are no bindings in tbl
, false otherwise.
val add : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b -> unit
Hashtbl.add tbl x y
adds a binding of x
to y
in table tbl
. Previous bindings for x
are not removed, but simply hidden. That is, after performing Hashtbl.remove
tbl x
, the previous binding for x
, if any, is restored. (Same behavior as with association lists.)
val remove : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> unit
Hashtbl.remove tbl x
removes the current binding of x
in tbl
, restoring the previous binding if it exists. It does nothing if x
is not bound in tbl
.
val remove_all : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> unit
Remove all bindings for the given key
val replace : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b -> unit
Hashtbl.replace tbl x y
replaces the current binding of x
in tbl
by a binding of x
to y
. If x
is unbound in tbl
, a binding of x
to y
is added to tbl
. This is functionally equivalent to Hashtbl.remove
tbl x
followed by Hashtbl.add
tbl x y
.
val modify_def : 'b -> 'a -> ('b -> 'b) -> ('a, 'b) t -> unit
Hashtbl.modify_def v k f tbl
does the same as Hashtbl.modify k f tbl
but f v
is inserted in tbl
if k
was unbound.
val modify_opt : 'a -> ('b option -> 'b option) -> ('a, 'b) t -> unit
Hashtbl.modify_opt k f tbl
allows to remove, modify or add a binding for k
in tbl
. f
will be called with None
if k
was unbound. first previous binding of k
in tbl
will be deleted if f
returns None
. Otherwise, the previous binding is replaced by the value produced by f
.
val clear : ('a, 'b) t -> unit
Empty a hash table.
Return an enumeration of all the keys of a hashtable. If the key is in the Hashtable multiple times, all occurrences will be returned.
Return an enumeration of (key,value) pairs of a hashtable.
val of_list : ('a * 'b) list -> ('a, 'b) t
Create a hashtable from a list of (key,value) pairs.
val to_list : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a * 'b) list
Return the list of (key,value) pairs.
val bindings : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a * 'b) list
Alias for to_list
.
val find_all : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b list
Hashtbl.find_all tbl x
returns the list of all data associated with x
in tbl
. The current binding is returned first, then the previous bindings, in reverse order of introduction in the table.
val find_default : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b -> 'b
Hashtbl.find_default tbl key default
finds a binding for key
, or return default
if key
is unbound in tbl
.
val find_option : ('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t -> 'a -> 'b option
Find a binding for the key, or return None
if no value is found
val mem : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> bool
Hashtbl.mem tbl x
checks if x
is bound in tbl
.
A number of higher-order functions are provided to allow purely functional traversal or transformation of hashtables. These functions are similar to their counterparts in module BatEnum
.
Whenever you wish to traverse or transfor a hashtable, you have the choice between using the more general functions of BatEnum
, with keys
, values
, enum
and of_enum
, or the more optimized functions of this section.
If you are new to OCaml or unsure about data structure, using the functions of BatEnum
is a safe bet. Should you wish to improve performance at the cost of generality, you will always be able to rewrite your code to make use of the functions of this section.
val iter : ('a -> 'b -> unit) -> ('a, 'b) t -> unit
Hashtbl.iter f tbl
applies f
to all bindings in table tbl
. f
receives the key as first argument, and the associated value as second argument. Each binding is presented exactly once to f
. The order in which the bindings are passed to f
is unspecified. However, if the table contains several bindings for the same key, they are passed to f
in reverse order of introduction, that is, the most recent binding is passed first.
val fold : ('a -> 'b -> 'c -> 'c) -> ('a, 'b) t -> 'c -> 'c
Hashtbl.fold f tbl init
computes (f kN dN ... (f k1 d1 (f k0 d0 init))...)
, where k0,k1..kN
are the keys of all bindings in tbl
, and d0,d1..dN
are the associated values. Each binding is presented exactly once to f
. The order in which the bindings are passed to f
is unspecified. However, if the table contains several bindings for the same key, they are passed to f
in reverse order of introduction, that is, the most recent binding is passed first.
map f x
creates a new hashtable with the same keys as x
, but with the function f
applied to all the values
val map_inplace : ('a -> 'b -> 'b) -> ('a, 'b) t -> unit
map_inplace f x
replace all values currently bound in x
by f
applied to each value.
filter f m
returns a new hashtable where only the values a
of m
such that f a = true
remain.
val filter_inplace : ('a -> bool) -> ('key, 'a) t -> unit
filter_inplace f m
removes from m
all bindings that does not satisfy the predicate f.
filteri f m
returns a hashtbl where only the key, values pairs key
, a
of m
such that f key a = true
remain.
val filteri_inplace : ('key -> 'a -> bool) -> ('key, 'a) t -> unit
filteri_inplace f m
performs as filter_inplace but f
receive the value in additiuon to the key.
filter_map f m
combines the features of filteri
and map
. It calls f key0 a0
, f key1 a1
, f keyn an
where a0,a1..an
are the elements of m
and key0..keyn
the corresponding keys. It returns a hashtbl with associations keyi
,bi
where f keyi ai =
Some bi
. When f
returns None
, the corresponding element of m
is discarded.
val filter_map_inplace : ('key -> 'a -> 'a option) -> ('key, 'a) t -> unit
filter_map_inplace f m
performs like filter_map but modify m
inplace instead of creating a new Hashtbl.
merge f a b
returns a new Hashtbl which is build from the bindings of a
and b
according to the function f
, that is given all defined keys one by one, along with the value from a
(if defined) and the value from b
(if defined), and has to return the (optional) resulting value.
It is assumed that each key is bound at most once in a
and b
. See merge_all
for a more general alternative if this is not the case.
merge_all f a b
is similar to merge
, but passes to f
all bindings for a key (most recent first, as returned by find_all
). f
must then return all the new bindings of the merged hashtable (or an empty list if that key should not be bound in the resulting hashtable). Those new bindings will be inserted in reverse, so that the head of the list will become the most recent binding in the merged hashtable.
Hashtbl.hash x
associates a positive integer to any value of any type. It is guaranteed that if x = y
or Pervasives.compare x y = 0
, then hash x = hash y
. Moreover, hash
always terminates, even on cyclic structures.
val print : ?first:string -> ?last:string -> ?sep:string -> ?kvsep:string ->
('a BatInnerIO.output -> 'b -> unit) -> ('a BatInnerIO.output -> 'c -> unit) -> 'a BatInnerIO.output -> ('b, 'c) t -> unit
The following modules replace functions defined in Hashtbl
with functions behaving slightly differently but having the same name. This is by design: the functions meant to override the corresponding functions of Hashtbl
.
module Exceptionless = BatHashtbl.Exceptionless
Operations on Hashtbl
without exceptions.
module Infix = BatHashtbl.Infix
Infix operators over a BatHashtbl
module Labels = BatHashtbl.Labels
Operations on Hashtbl
with labels.
module type HashedType = BatHashtbl.HashedType
module type S = BatHashtbl.S
The output signature of the functor Hashtbl.Make
.
module Make = BatHashtbl.Make
Functor building an implementation of the hashtable structure. The functor Hashtbl.Make
returns a structure containing a type key
of keys and a type 'a t
of hash tables associating data of type 'a
to keys of type key
. The operations perform similarly to those of the generic interface, but use the hashing and equality functions specified in the functor argument H
instead of generic equality and hashing.
module Cap = BatHashtbl.Cap
Capabilities for hashtables.
include module type of struct include BatHashtbl.Exceptionless end
Operations on Hashtbl
without exceptions.
