ATSLIB/prelude/list_vt

This package contains a variety of common functions for creating/freeing and manipulating linear lists.

The type for a singly-linked linear list containing N elements of type T is denoted by list_vt(T, N), where T can be linear. The suffix "vt" in the name list_vt stands for viewtype, which is the formal name for linear type in ATS. Note that the type constructor list_vt is co-variant in its first argument, that is, list_vt(T1, N) is a subtype of list_vt(T2, N) if T1 is a subtype of T2. The low-level representation for list_vt is the same as that for a standard singly-linked list in C, and it is fairly straightforward to implement functions in C that can directly manipulate linear lists in ATS and vice versa.

Please see list_vt.sats and list_vt.dats (plus list_vt_mergesort.dats, list_vt_quicksort.dats) for the SATS file and DATS files in ATSLIB where the functions in this package are declared and implemented.

    Synopsis

    The full name for the list-type constructor list_vt is list_viewt0ype_int_viewtype, which is given to the linear datatype (dataviewtype) declared as follows:

    dataviewtype // viewt@ype+: covariant
    list_viewt0ype_int_viewtype
      (a:viewt@ype+, int) =
      | list_vt_nil (a, 0) of ()
      | {n:int | n >= 0}
        list_vt_cons (a, n+1) of (a, list_viewt0ype_int_viewtype (a, n))
    // end of [list_viewt0ype_int_viewtype]
    

    Description

    There are two data constructors list_vt_nil and list_vt_cons associated with list_vt; the former constructs a list of length 0, that is, an empty list while the latter takes an element x and a list xs of length n to construct a list of length n+1 such that x and xs are the head and tail of the newly constructed list, respectively.

    List_vt

    Description

    This type is for linear lists of unspecified length that is greater than or equal to 0. Note that List0_vt is essentially equivalent to List_vt since the length of a list can never be negative. The proof function lemma_list_vt_param can be called explicitly to cast from List_vt to List0_vt.

      xs1: list_vt(INV(a), n1), xs2: list_vt(a, n2)
    ) :<!wrt> list_vt(a, n1+n2) // endfun

    Description

    This functions appends its first list argument to its second list argument. Note that the two list arguments are consumed in the construction of the resulting list and thus no longer available after the function returns. There is no memory allocation/deallocation involved.

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p
    } list_vt_extend{n:int}

    list_vt_concat

    Synopsis

    fun{x:vt0p}
    list_vt_concat
      (xss: List_vt(List_vt(INV(x)))):<!wrt> List0_vt(x)

    Description

    Given a linear list xss, this function builds a concatenation of xss[0], xss[1], ..., and xss[n-1], where n is the length of xss and each xss[i] refers to element i in xss. Note that xss is freed and all of its elements are consumed in the construction of the returned list. In particular, there is no memory allocation involved in a call to list_vt_concat.

    Example

    The following code makes a simple use of list_vt_concat:
    implement
    main0 () = () where
    {
    //
    typedef T = int
    val xs1 = $list_vt{T}(1)
    val xs2 = $list_vt{T}(2)
    val xs3 = $list_vt{T}(3)
    val xss = $list_vt{List_vt(T)}(xs1, xs2, xs3)
    val xs123 = list_vt_concat (xss) // xs123 = [1, 2, 3]
    //
    val out = stdout_ref
    val () = fprint_list_vt<T> (out, xs123) // printing out 1, 2, 3
    val () = fprint_newline (out)
    //
    val () = list_vt_free<T> (xs123)
    //
    } // end of [main]
    

    list_vt_split_at

    fun{x:vt0p}
    list_vt_split_at
      {n:int}{i:nat | i <= n}
      (list_vt(INV(x), n), int i):<!wrt> (list_vt(x, i), list_vt(x, n-i))

    Description

    Given a linear list xs of length n and an integer i between 0 and n, inclusive, the function returns a prefix and a suffix of xs of length i and n-i, respectively.

    list_vt_separate

    Synopsis

    fun{x:vt0p}
    list_vt_separate{n:int}
    (
    xs: &list_vt(INV(x), n) >> list_vt(x, n1), n1: &int? >> int(n1)
    ) : #[n1:nat|n1 <= n] list_vt(x, n-n1)

    Description

    This function splits a given linear list xs into two according to the predicate implemented by list_vt_separate$pred: the elements left in xs satisfy the predicate while those in the returned list do not.

    Example

    The following code implements the standard quicksort on linear lists:
    //
    staload UN = "prelude/SATS/unsafe.sats"
    //
    fun{a:vt0p}
    list_vt_qsort
      {n:nat} .<n>.
    (
      xs: list_vt (a, n), cmp: cmpref(a)
    ) : list_vt (a, n) = let
    in
    //
    case+ xs of
    | @list_vt_cons
        (x0, xs1) => let
        val p_x0 = addr@(x0)
    //
        implement
        list_vt_separate$pred<a> (x) = let
          val (
            pf, fpf | p_x0
          ) = $UN.ptr_vtake{a}(p_x0)
          val ans = cmp (x, !p_x0) <= 0 // ascending order
          prval ((*void*)) = fpf (pf)
        in
          ans
        end // end of [list_vt_separate$pred]
    //
        var xs11 = xs1
        // HX: xs11/xs12: <= x0 / > x0
        val xs12 =
          list_vt_separate<a> (xs11)
        val xs11 = list_vt_qsort<a> (xs11, cmp)
        val xs12 = list_vt_qsort<a> (xs12, cmp)
        val () = xs1 := xs12
        prval () = fold@ (xs)
      in
        list_vt_append (xs11, xs)
      end // end of [list_vt_cons]
    | ~list_vt_nil () => list_vt_nil ()
    //
    end // end of [list_vt_qsort]
    
    Note that there is no memory allocation/deallocation involved in this implementation. It is formally verified in the type system of ATS that the list returned by list_vt_qsort is of the same length as its input. On a meta-level, it is evident that the returned list must be a permutation of the input as linear elements cannot be either discarded or duplicated.

    This function is similar to list_vt_map. However, it frees each list node after applying to the node the function implemented by list_vt_mapfree$fopr.

    list_vt_mapfree$fopr

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p}{y:vt0p
    } list_vt_mapfree$fopr(x: &(x) >> x?): (y)

    list_vt_foreach

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p
    } list_vt_foreach (xs: !List_vt(INV(x))): void

    Description

    Given a list xs of length n, this function traverses xs, applying to xs[i] the function implemented by list_vt_foreach$fwork, where i ranges from 0 until n-1, inclusive, and xs[i], treated as a left-value, refers to element i in xs. The traversal stops if the function implemented by list_vt_foreach$cont returns false.

    list_vt_foreach_env

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p}{env:vt0p
    } list_vt_foreach_env (xs: !List_vt(INV(x)), env: &(env) >> _): void

    list_vt_foreach$cont

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p}{env:vt0p
    } list_vt_foreach$cont (x: &x, env: &env): bool

    Description

    The default implementation of this function always returns true.

    list_vt_foreach$fwork

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p}{env:vt0p
    } list_vt_foreach$fwork (x: &x >> _, env: &(env) >> _): void

    list_vt_iforeach

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p
    } list_vt_iforeach
      {n:int} (xs: !list_vt(INV(x), n)): natLte(n)

    Description

    Given a linear list xs of length n, this function traverses xs, applying to (i, xs[i]) the function implemented by list_vt_iforeach$fwork, where i ranges from 0 until n-1, inclusive, and xs[i], treated as a left-value, refers to element i in xs. The traversal stops if the function implemented by list_vt_foreach$cont returns false.

    list_vt_iforeach_env

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p}{env:vt0p
    } list_vt_iforeach_env
      {n:int} (xs: !list_vt(INV(x), n), env: &(env) >> _): natLte(n)

    list_vt_iforeach$cont

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p}{env:vt0p
    } list_vt_iforeach$cont
      (i: intGte(0), x: &x, env: &env): bool

    Description

    The default implementation of this function always returns true.

    list_vt_iforeach$fwork

    Synopsis

    fun{
    x:vt0p}{env:vt0p
    } list_vt_iforeach$fwork
      (i: intGte(0), x: &x >> _, env: &(env) >> _): void

    list_vt_mergesort

    Synopsis

    fun{
    a:vt0p
    } list_vt_mergesort
      {n:int} (xs: list_vt(INV(a), n)):<!wrt> list_vt(a, n)

    Description

    Mergesort is of time-complexity O(n(log(n))), and it is a stable sorting algorithm. This function mergesorts its list argument according to the ordering implemented by list_vt_mergesort$cmp. Note that the list argument is consumed in the construction of the resulting sorted list and thus no longer available after the function returns. There is no memory allocation/deallocation involved in the implementation of list_vt_mergesort.

    Example

    The following code mergesorts a list of integers into a list of ascending integers:
    implement
    main () = let
    //
    val N = 10
    val out = stdout_ref
    //
    typedef T = int
    val xs =
      $list_vt{T}(0, 9, 2, 7, 4, 5, 6, 3, 8, 1)
    val () = fprint_list_vt_sep<T> (out, xs, "; ")
    val () = fprint_newline (out)
    //
    implement
    list_vt_mergesort$cmp<T> (x1, x2) = compare (x1, x2)
    //
    val ys =
      list_vt_mergesort<T> (xs)
    val () = fprint_list_vt<T> (out, ys)
    val () = fprint_newline (out)
    val () = list_vt_free<T> (ys)
    //
    in
      0(*normal*)
    end // end of [main]
    

    list_vt_mergesort$cmp

    Synopsis

    fun{
    a:vt0p
    } list_vt_mergesort$cmp(x1: &RD(a), x2: &RD(a)):<> int(*sgn*)

    Description

    This function is called in the implementation of list_vt_mergesort to perform comparison test on list elements, and its default implementation is based on gcompare_ref:
    implement{a}
    list_vt_mergesort$cmp (x, y) = gcompare_ref<a> (x, y)
    

    list_vt_mergesort_fun

    Synopsis

    fun{
    a:vt0p
    } list_vt_mergesort_fun
      {n:int} (
      xs: list_vt(INV(a), n), cmp: cmpref (a)
    ) :<!wrt> list_vt(a, n) // end of [list_vt_mergesort_fun]

    Description

    This function does essentially the same as list_vt_mergesort except for allowing the comparison function to be provided as an argument.

    list_vt_quicksort

    Synopsis

    fun{
    a:vt0p
    } list_vt_quicksort
      {n:int} (xs: list_vt(INV(a), n)):<!wrt> list_vt(a, n)

    Description

    Quicksort is of time-complexity O(n(log(n))) on average (but can be O(n^2) in the worse case), and it is not a stable sorting algorithm. This function quicksorts its list argument according to the ordering implemented by list_vt_quicksort$cmp. Note that the list argument is consumed in the construction of the resulting sorted list and thus no longer available after the function returns. An implementation of this function may copy the list into an array, sort the array, copy the array back into the list, and then free the array.

    Example

    The following code quicksorts a list of integers into a list of ascending integers:
    implement
    main () = let
    //
    val N = 10
    val out = stdout_ref
    //
    typedef T = int
    val xs =
      $list_vt{T}(0, 9, 2, 7, 4, 5, 6, 3, 8, 1)
    val () = fprint_list_vt_sep<T> (out, xs, "; ")
    val () = fprint_newline (out)
    //
    implement
    list_quicksort$cmp<T> (x1, x2) = compare (x1, x2)
    //
    val ys =
      list_vt_quicksort<T> (xs)
    val () = fprint_list_vt<T> (out, ys)
    val () = fprint_newline (out)
    val () = list_vt_free<T> (ys)
    //
    in
      0(*normal*)
    end // end of [main]
    

    list_vt_quicksort$cmp

    Synopsis

    fun{
    a:vt0p
    } list_vt_quicksort$cmp(x1: &RD(a), x2: &RD(a)):<> int(*sgn*)

    Description

    This function is called in the implementation of list_vt_quicksort to perform comparison test on list elements, and its default implementation is based on gcompare_ref:
    implement{a}
    list_vt_quicksort$cmp (x, y) = gcompare_ref<a> (x, y)
    

    list_vt_quicksort_fun

    Synopsis

    fun{
    a:vt0p
    } list_vt_quicksort_fun
      {n:int} (
      xs: list_vt(INV(a), n), cmp: cmpref (a)
    ) :<!wrt> list_vt(a, n) // end of [list_vt_quicksort_fun]

    Description

    This function does essentially the same as list_vt_quicksort except for allowing the comparison function to be provided as an argument.
