{ title: Slice Manipulation description: libstd: Slice Manipulation } Slice Manipulation ------------------ pkg std = generic sleq : (a : @a[:], b : @a[:] -> bool) generic slcp : (dst : @a[:], src : @a[:] -> void) generic slput : (sl : @a[:], idx : size, elt : @a -> @a[:]) generic slpush : (sl : @a[:], elt : @a -> @a[:]) generic slpop : (sl : @a[:] -> (@a, @a[:])) generic sldup : (sl : @a[:] -> @a[:]) generic slfill : (sl : @a[:], v : @a -> @a[:]) generic sljoin : (dst : @a[:]#, src : @a[:] -> @a[:]) ;; Functions --------- generic sleq : (a : @a[:], b : @a[:] -> bool) Compares if two slices are equal, elementwise. Uses the '==' operator for each value. Returns true if they are equal, false otherwise. generic slcp : (dst : @a[:], src : @a[:] -> void) Copies all the elements from `src` to `dst`. The copy made is shallow, and done using the `=` operator. The two slices must be equal size. If they are not equal, this will cause the program to abort. generic slput : (sl : @a[:], idx : size, elt : @a -> @a[:]) Inserts a value `elt` into the slice `sl` at index `idx`, moving all values from `sl[idx:len]` to `sl[idx+1:len+1]`. This assumes that the slice is either empty, or is allocated on the heap using `slalloc`. This may move the slice, invalidating the original input argument. generic slpush : (sl : @a[:], elt : @a -> @a[:]) Inserts a value `elt` into the slice `sl` at index the end of the slice. This may move the slice, invalidating the original input argument. generic slpop : (sl : @a[:] -> (@a, @a[:])) Removes an element from the end of the slice, returning the element and the new, truncated slice. This may move the slice, invalidating the original input argument. generic sldup : (sl : @a[:] -> @a[:]) Duplicates a slice. This function is equivalent to calling slalloc() followed by slcp(). generic slfill : (sl : @a[:], v : @a -> @a[:]) Fills a slice with a value. generic sljoin : (dst : @a[:]#, src : @a[:] -> @a[:]) Concatenates `src` onto the end of `dst#`. Equivalent to iterating through every element of `src` and `slpush()`ing it onto `dst`.
