Ring Buffer

The abstract ring buffer type, made concrete by choice of ARRAY module implementation

module Array : Array.S

The module type of Array for this ring buffer

type t

Defines the bounded ring buffer type

exception Empty

Raised in querying functions when the buffer is empty

val create : int -> t

create size creates a new bounded buffer with given size. The underlying array is allocated immediately and no further (large) allocation will happen from now on.

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the argument is < 1.

val copy : t -> t

Make a fresh copy of the buffer.

val capacity : t -> int

Length of the inner buffer.

val length : t -> int

Number of elements currently stored in the buffer.

val is_full : t -> bool

true if pushing an element would erase another element.

  • since 1.3
val blit_from : t -> Array.t -> int -> int -> unit

blit_from buf from_buf o len copies the slice o, ... o + len - 1 from an input buffer from_buf to the end of the buffer. If the slice is too large for the buffer, only the last part of the array will be copied.

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if o,len is not a valid slice of s.

val blit_into : t -> Array.t -> int -> int -> int

blit_into buf to_buf o len copies at most len elements from buf into to_buf starting at offset o in s.

  • returns

    the number of elements actually copied (min len (length buf)).

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if o,len is not a valid slice of s.

val append : t -> into:t -> unit

append b ~into copies all data from b and adds it at the end of into. Erases data of into if there is not enough room.

val to_list : t -> Array.elt list

Extract the current content into a list.

val clear : t -> unit

Clear the content of the buffer

val is_empty : t -> bool

Is the buffer empty (i.e. contains no elements)?

val junk_front : t -> unit

Drop the front element from t.

  • raises Empty

    if the buffer is already empty.

val junk_back : t -> unit

Drop the back element from t.

  • raises Empty

    if the buffer is already empty.

val skip : t -> int -> unit

skip b len removes len elements from the front of b.

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if len > length b.

val iter : t -> f:(Array.elt -> unit) -> unit

iter b ~f calls f i t for each element t in buf.

val iteri : t -> f:(int -> Array.elt -> unit) -> unit

iteri b ~f calls f i t for each element t in buf, with i being its relative index within buf.

val get_front : t -> int -> Array.elt

get_front buf i returns the i-th element of buf from the front, i.e. the one returned by take_front buf after i-1 calls to junk_front buf.

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the index is invalid (> length buf).

val get_back : t -> int -> Array.elt

get_back buf i returns the i-th element of buf from the back, i.e. the one returned by take_back buf after i-1 calls to junk_back buf.

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the index is invalid (> length buf).

val push_back : t -> Array.elt -> unit

Push value at the back of t. If t.bounded=false, the buffer will grow as needed, otherwise the oldest elements are replaced first.

val peek_front : t -> Array.elt option

First value from front of t, without modification.

val peek_front_exn : t -> Array.elt

First value from front of t, without modification.

  • raises Empty

    if buffer is empty.

  • since 1.3
val peek_back : t -> Array.elt option

Get the last value from back of t, without modification.

val peek_back_exn : t -> Array.elt

Get the last value from back of t, without modification.

  • raises Empty

    if buffer is empty.

  • since 1.3
val take_back : t -> Array.elt option

Take and remove the last value from back of t, if any.

val take_back_exn : t -> Array.elt

Take and remove the last value from back of t.

  • raises Empty

    if buffer is already empty.

val take_front : t -> Array.elt option

Take and remove the first value from front of t, if any.

val take_front_exn : t -> Array.elt

Take and remove the first value from front of t.

  • raises Empty

    if buffer is already empty.

val of_array : Array.t -> t

Create a buffer from an initial array, but doesn't take ownership of it (still allocates a new internal array).

  • since 0.11
val to_array : t -> Array.t

Create an array from the elements, in order.

  • since 0.11
