Struct im_rc::vector::Vector

pub struct Vector<A> { /* fields omitted */ }

A persistent vector.

This is a sequence of elements in insertion order - if you need a list of things, any kind of list of things, this is what you’re looking for.

It’s implemented as an RRB vector with smart head/tail chunking. In performance terms, this means that practically every operation is O(log n), except push/pop on both sides, which will be O(1) amortised, and O(log n) in the worst case. In practice, the push/pop operations will be blindingly fast, nearly on par with the native VecDeque, and other operations will have decent, if not high, performance, but they all have more or less the same O(log n) complexity, so you don’t need to keep their performance characteristics in mind - everything, even splitting and merging, is safe to use and never too slow.

Performance Notes

Because of the head/tail chunking technique, until you push a number of items above double the tree’s branching factor (that’s self.len() = 2 × k (where k = 64) = 128) on either side, the data structure is still just a handful of arrays, not yet an RRB tree, so you’ll see performance and memory characteristics similar to Vec or VecDeque.

This means that the structure always preallocates four chunks of size k (k being the tree’s branching factor), equivalent to a Vec with an initial capacity of 256. Beyond that, it will allocate tree nodes of capacity k as needed.

In addition, vectors start out as single chunks, and only expand into the full data structure once you go past the chunk size. This makes them perform identically to Vec at small sizes.

Implementations

impl<A: Clone> Vector<A>

pub fn pool(&self) -> &RRBPool<A>

Get a reference to the memory pool this Vector is using.

Note that if you didn’t specifically construct it with a pool, you’ll get back a reference to a pool of size 0. hidden

#[must_use]pub fn new() -> Self

Construct an empty vector.

#[must_use]pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Get the length of a vector.

Time: O(1)

Examples

assert_eq!(5, vector![1, 2, 3, 4, 5].len());

#[must_use]pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Test whether a vector is empty.

Time: O(1)

Examples

let vec = vector!["Joe", "Mike", "Robert"];
assert_eq!(false, vec.is_empty());
assert_eq!(true, Vector::<i32>::new().is_empty());

#[must_use]pub fn ptr_eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Test whether two vectors refer to the same content in memory.

This uses the following rules to determine equality:

• If the two sides are references to the same vector, return true.
• If the two sides are single chunk vectors pointing to the same chunk, return true.
• If the two sides are full trees pointing to the same chunks, return true.

This would return true if you’re comparing a vector to itself, or if you’re comparing a vector to a fresh clone of itself. The exception to this is if you’ve cloned an inline array (ie. an array with so few elements they can fit inside the space a Vector allocates for its pointers, so there are no heap allocations to compare).

Time: O(1), or O(n) for inline vectors

pub fn insert(&mut self, index: usize, value: A)

Insert an element into a vector.

Insert an element at position index, shifting all elements after it to the right.

Performance Note

While push_front and push_back are heavily optimised operations, insert in the middle of a vector requires a split, a push, and an append. Thus, if you want to insert many elements at the same location, instead of inserting them one by one, you should rather create a new vector containing the elements to insert, split the vector at the insertion point, and append the left hand, the new vector and the right hand in order.

Time: O(log n)

pub fn remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> A

Remove an element from a vector.

Remove the element from position ‘index’, shifting all elements after it to the left, and return the removec element.

Performance Note

While pop_front and pop_back are heavily optimised operations, remove in the middle of a vector requires a split, a pop, and an append. Thus, if you want to remove many elements from the same location, instead of removeing them one by one, it is much better to use slice.

Time: O(log n)

pub fn insert_ord(&mut self, item: A) where
    A: Ord, 

Insert an element into a sorted vector.

Insert an element into a vector in sorted order, assuming the vector is already in sorted order.
