structs

Hackage Build Status

This package explores strict mutable data structures in Haskell.

In particular, pointer-based data structures are effectively ‘half price’ due to the encoding used.

However, the result is that if you use the slot and field system wrong, you can and will SEGFAULT.

This means the Internal modules are very much internal.

Some documentation is available at http://ekmett.github.io/structs/Data-Struct.html.

Changes

0.1.1

  • Add a library dependency in the doctests test suite

0.1

  • Add compare-and-swap support for struct slots
  • Add Data.Struct.TH, which provides Template Haskell support for generating structs
  • Remove unneeded proxy argument to struct
  • Add a type parameter to Order
  • Revamp Setup.hs to use cabal-doctest. This makes it build with Cabal-2.0, and makes the doctests work with cabal new-build and sandboxes.

0

  • Repository initialized
  • Added structures for list labeling, order-maintenance, and link-cut trees.
