Accessors

Length information

length :: MVector s a -> Int Source #

Length of the mutable vector.

null :: MVector s a -> Bool Source #

Check whether the vector is empty.

Extracting subvectors

slice Source #

Arguments

:: Int

i starting index

-> Int

n length

-> MVector s a 
-> MVector s a 

Yield a part of the mutable vector without copying it. The vector must contain at least i+n elements.

init :: MVector s a -> MVector s a Source #

Drop the last element of the mutable vector without making a copy. If the vector is empty, an exception is thrown.

tail :: MVector s a -> MVector s a Source #

Drop the first element of the mutable vector without making a copy. If the vector is empty, an exception is thrown.

take :: Int -> MVector s a -> MVector s a Source #

Take the n first elements of the mutable vector without making a copy. For negative n, the empty vector is returned. If n is larger than the vector's length, the vector is returned unchanged.

drop :: Int -> MVector s a -> MVector s a Source #

Drop the n first element of the mutable vector without making a copy. For negative n, the vector is returned unchanged. If n is larger than the vector's length, the empty vector is returned.

splitAt :: Int -> MVector s a -> (MVector s a, MVector s a) Source #

O(1) Split the mutable vector into the first n elements and the remainder, without copying.

Note that splitAt n v is equivalent to (take n v, drop n v), but slightly more efficient.

unsafeSlice Source #

Arguments

:: Int

starting index

-> Int

length of the slice

-> MVector s a 
-> MVector s a 

Yield a part of the mutable vector without copying it. No bounds checks are performed.

unsafeInit :: MVector s a -> MVector s a Source #

Same as init, but doesn't do range checks.

unsafeTail :: MVector s a -> MVector s a Source #

Same as tail, but doesn't do range checks.

unsafeTake :: Int -> MVector s a -> MVector s a Source #

Unsafe variant of take. If n is out of range, it will simply create an invalid slice that likely violate memory safety.

unsafeDrop :: Int -> MVector s a -> MVector s a Source #

Unsafe variant of drop. If n is out of range, it will simply create an invalid slice that likely violate memory safety.

Overlapping

overlaps :: MVector s a -> MVector s a -> Bool Source #

Check whether two vectors overlap.

Construction

Initialisation

new :: PrimMonad m => Int -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

Create a mutable vector of the given length.

unsafeNew :: PrimMonad m => Int -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

Create a mutable vector of the given length. The vector elements are set to bottom, so accessing them will cause an exception.

Since: 0.5

replicate :: PrimMonad m => Int -> a -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

Create a mutable vector of the given length (0 if the length is negative) and fill it with an initial value.

replicateM :: PrimMonad m => Int -> m a -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

Create a mutable vector of the given length (0 if the length is negative) and fill it with values produced by repeatedly executing the monadic action.

generate :: PrimMonad m => Int -> (Int -> a) -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

O(n) Create a mutable vector of the given length (0 if the length is negative) and fill it with the results of applying the function to each index. Iteration starts at index 0.

Since: 0.12.3.0

generateM :: PrimMonad m => Int -> (Int -> m a) -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

O(n) Create a mutable vector of the given length (0 if the length is negative) and fill it with the results of applying the monadic function to each index. Iteration starts at index 0.

Since: 0.12.3.0

clone :: PrimMonad m => MVector (PrimState m) a -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

Create a copy of a mutable vector.

Growing

grow :: PrimMonad m => MVector (PrimState m) a -> Int -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

Grow a boxed vector by the given number of elements. The number must be non-negative. This has the same semantics as grow for generic vectors. It differs from grow functions for unpacked vectors, however, in that only pointers to values are copied over, therefore the values themselves will be shared between the two vectors. This is an important distinction to know about during memory usage analysis and in case the values themselves are of a mutable type, e.g. IORef or another mutable vector.

Examples

Expand
>>> import qualified Data.Vector as V
>>> import qualified Data.Vector.Mutable as MV
>>> mv <- V.thaw $ V.fromList ([10, 20, 30] :: [Integer])
>>> mv' <- MV.grow mv 2

The two extra elements at the end of the newly allocated vector will be uninitialized and will result in an error if evaluated, so me must overwrite them with new values first:

>>> MV.write mv' 3 999
>>> MV.write mv' 4 777
>>> V.freeze mv'
[10,20,30,999,777]

It is important to note that the source mutable vector is not affected when the newly allocated one is mutated.

>>> MV.write mv' 2 888
>>> V.freeze mv'
[10,20,888,999,777]
>>> V.freeze mv
[10,20,30]

Since: 0.5

unsafeGrow :: PrimMonad m => MVector (PrimState m) a -> Int -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

Grow a vector by the given number of elements. The number must be non-negative, but this is not checked. This has the same semantics as unsafeGrow for generic vectors.

Since: 0.5

Restricting memory usage

clear :: PrimMonad m => MVector (PrimState m) a -> m () Source #

Reset all elements of the vector to some undefined value, clearing all references to external objects.

Accessing individual elements

read :: PrimMonad m => MVector (PrimState m) a -> Int -> m a Source #

Yield the element at the given position. Will throw an exception if the index is out of range.

Examples

Expand
>>> import qualified Data.Vector.Mutable as MV
>>> v <- MV.generate 10 (\x -> x*x)
>>> MV.read v 3
9

readMaybe :: PrimMonad m => MVector (PrimState m) a -> Int -> m (Maybe a) Source #

Yield the element at the given position. Returns Nothing if the index is out of range.

Examples

Expand
>>> import qualified Data.Vector.Mutable as MV
>>> v <- MV.generate 10 (\x -> x*x)
>>> MV.readMaybe v 3
Just 9
>>> MV.readMaybe v 13
Nothing

Modifying vectors

nextPermutation :: (PrimMonad m, Ord e) => MVector (PrimState m) e -> m Bool Source #

Compute the (lexicographically) next permutation of the given vector in-place, using the provided comparison function. Returns False when the input is the last item in the enumeration, i.e., if it is in weakly descending order. In this case the vector will not get updated, as opposed to the behavior of the C++ function std::next_permutation.

Since: 0.13.2.0

prevPermutation :: (PrimMonad m, Ord e) => MVector (PrimState m) e -> m Bool Source #

Compute the (lexicographically) previous permutation of the given vector in-place. Returns False when the input is the last item in the enumeration, i.e., if it is in weakly ascending order.

Filling and copying

set :: PrimMonad m => MVector (PrimState m) a -> a -> m () Source #

Set all elements of the vector to the given value.

copy Source #

Arguments

:: PrimMonad m 
=> MVector (PrimState m) a

target

-> MVector (PrimState m) a

source

-> m () 

Copy a vector. The two vectors must have the same length and may not overlap.

move Source #

Arguments

:: PrimMonad m 
=> MVector (PrimState m) a

target

-> MVector (PrimState m) a

source

-> m () 

Move the contents of a vector. The two vectors must have the same length.

If the vectors do not overlap, then this is equivalent to copy. Otherwise, the copying is performed as if the source vector were copied to a temporary vector and then the temporary vector was copied to the target vector.

unsafeCopy Source #

Arguments

:: PrimMonad m 
=> MVector (PrimState m) a

target

-> MVector (PrimState m) a

source

-> m () 

Copy a vector. The two vectors must have the same length and may not overlap, but this is not checked.

unsafeMove Source #

Arguments

:: PrimMonad m 
=> MVector (PrimState m) a

target

-> MVector (PrimState m) a

source

-> m () 

Move the contents of a vector. The two vectors must have the same length, but this is not checked.

If the vectors do not overlap, then this is equivalent to unsafeCopy. Otherwise, the copying is performed as if the source vector were copied to a temporary vector and then the temporary vector was copied to the target vector.

Arrays

fromMutableArray :: PrimMonad m => MutableArray (PrimState m) a -> m (MVector (PrimState m) a) Source #

O(n) Make a copy of a mutable array to a new mutable vector.

data RealWorld #

RealWorld is deeply magical. It is primitive, but it is not unlifted (hence ptrArg). We never manipulate values of type RealWorld; it's only used in the type system, to parameterise State#.
