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.

  • since 0.15
type 'a iter = ('a -> unit) -> unit

Fast internal iterator.

  • since 2.8
type 'a gen = unit -> 'a option

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

Make an immutable vector (no copy! Don't use the old version).

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

Copy the vector into an immutable version.

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

Create a new, empty vector.

val create_with : ?capacity:int -> 'a -> ('a, rw) t

Create a new vector, the value is used to enforce the type the new vector.

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

Clear the content of the vector, and deallocate the underlying array, removing references to all the elements. The elements can be collected.

  • since 2.8
val ensure_with : init:'a -> ('a, rw) t -> int -> unit

Hint to the vector that it should have at least the given capacity. This does not affect length v.

  • 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.
