Growable, mutable vector

type ro = [
  1. | `RO
]
type rw = [
  1. | `RW
]

Mutability is rw (read-write) or ro (read-only).

type ('a, 'mut) t

The type of a vector of elements of type 'a, with a mutability flat 'mut.

type 'a vector = ('a, rw) t

Type synonym: a 'a vector is mutable.

type 'a ro_vector = ('a, ro) t

Alias for immutable vectors.

val filter' : ('a -> bool) -> ('a, rw) t -> unit

Filter elements in place.

val fold : ('b -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'b -> ('a, _) t -> 'b

Access element by its index, or

val set : ('a, rw) t -> int -> 'a -> unit

Modify element at given index, or

val remove : ('a, rw) t -> int -> unit

Remove the n-th element of the vector. Does NOT preserve the order of the elements (might swap with the last element).

val unsafe_get_array : ('a, rw) t -> 'a array

val (--) : int -> int -> (int, 'mut) t

Range of integers, either ascending or descending (both included, therefore the result is never empty). Example: 1 -- 10 returns the vector [1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10].

val (--^) : int -> int -> (int, 'mut) t

Range of integers, either ascending or descending, but excluding right. Example: 1 --^ 10 returns the vector [1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9].

  • since 0.14
val slice : ('a, rw) t -> 'a array * int * int

Vector as an array slice. By doing it we expose the internal array, so be careful!.

val slice_seq : ('a, _) t -> int -> int -> 'a sequence

slice_seq v start len is the sequence of elements from v.(start) to v.(start+len-1).

val fill_empty_slots_with : ('a, _) t -> 'a -> unit

fill_empty_slots_with v x puts x in the slots of v's underlying array that are not used (ie in the last capacity v - length v slots). This is useful if you removed some elements from the vector and want to be sure they can be GC'd by erasing them from the vector.
