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.

val freeze : ('a, _) t -> ('a, ro) t

Copy the vector into an immutable version.

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

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

Init the vector with the given function and size.

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

Clear the content of the vector. This ensures that length v = 0 but the underlying array is kept, and possibly references to former elements, which are therefore not garbage collectible.

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

  • raises Invalid_arg

    if the size is not suitable (negative, or too big for OCaml arrays)

  • since 0.14
val ensure : ('a, rw) t -> int -> unit

Hint to the vector that it should have at least the given capacity. Just a hint, will not be enforced if the vector is empty and init is not provided.
