Module Extlib.ExtHashtbl.Hashtbl

A Hashtable with keys of type 'a and values 'b

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.

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.

Hashtbl.is_empty tbl returns true if there are no bindings in tbl, false otherwise.

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.)

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.

Remove all bindings for the given key

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.

Hashtbl.modify k f tbl replaces the first binding for k in tbl with f applied to that value.

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.

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.

Return a copy of the given hashtable.

Empty a hash table.

Hashtbl.stats tbl returns statistics about the table tbl: number of buckets, size of the biggest bucket, distribution of buckets by size.

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 all the values of a hashtable.

Return an enumeration of (key,value) pairs of a hashtable.

Create a hashtable from a (key,value) enumeration.

Create a hashtable from a list of (key,value) pairs.

Return the list of (key,value) pairs.

Alias for to_list.

Hashtbl.find tbl x returns the current binding of x in tbl, or raises Not_found if no such binding exists.

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.

Hashtbl.find_default tbl key default finds a binding for key, or return default if key is unbound in tbl.

Find a binding for the key, or return None if no value is found

Check if at least one key-value pair satisfies p k v

Hashtbl.mem tbl x checks if x is bound in tbl.

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.

Hashtbl.for_all p tbl check if the predicate p k v holds for all bindings currently in tbl.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
