[][src]Crate vec_utils

vec-utils

This is an experimental crate that adds some helpful functionality to Vec<T>, like map and zip_with. These functions allow you to transform a vec and try and reuse the allocation if possible!

use vec_utils::VecExt;

fn to_bits(v: Vec<f32>) -> Vec<u32> {
    v.map(|x| x.to_bits())
}

fn sum_2(v: Vec<f32>, w: Vec<f64>) -> Vec<f64> {
    v.zip_with(w, |x, y| f64::from(x) + y)
}

But zip_with is limited to taking only a single additional vector. To get around this limitation, this crate also exports some macros that can take an arbitrary number of input vectors, and in most cases will compile down to the same assembly as Vec::map and Vec::zip_with (sometimes with some additional cleanup code, but even then the macro solution is just as fast as the built-in version).

You can use the zip_with and try_zip_with macros like so,

use vec_utils::{zip_with, try_zip_with};

fn to_bits(v: Vec<f32>) -> Vec<u32> {
    zip_with!(v, |x| x.to_bits())
}

fn sum_2(v: Vec<f32>, w: Vec<f64>) -> Vec<f64> {
    zip_with!((v, w), |x, y| f64::from(x) + y)
}

fn sum_5(a: Vec<i32>, b: Vec<i32>, c: Vec<i32>, d: Vec<i32>, e: Vec<i32>) -> Vec<i32> {
    zip_with!((a, b, c, d, e), |a, b, c, d, e| a + b + c + d + e)
}

fn mul_with(a: Vec<i32>) -> Vec<i32> {
    zip_with!((a, vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]), |a, x| a * x)
}

fn to_bits_no_nans(v: Vec<f32>) -> Result<Vec<u32>, &'static str> {
    try_zip_with!(v, |x| if x.is_nan() { Err("Found NaN!") } else { Ok(x.to_bits()) })
}

You can use as many input vectors as you want, just put them all inside the input tuple. Note that the second argument is not a closure, but syntax that looks like a closure, i.e. you can't make a closure before-hand and pass it as the second argument. Also, you can't use general patterns in the "closure"'s arguments, only identifiers are allowed. You can specify if you want a move closure by adding the move keyword in from of the "closure".

use vec_utils::zip_with;

fn add(a: Vec<i32>, b: i32) -> Vec<i32> {
    zip_with!(a, move |a| a + b)
}

It also adds some functionality to reuse the allocation of a Box<T>, using the BoxExt/UninitBox api.

use vec_utils::BoxExt;

fn replace(b: Box<i32>, f: f32) -> Box<f32> {
    Box::drop_box(b).init(f)
}

fn get_and_replace(b: Box<i32>, f: f32) -> (Box<f32>, i32) {
    let (b, x) = Box::take_box(b);
    (b.init(f), x)
}

Macros

try

Unwraps a result or propagates its error.

try_zip_with

A macro to give syntactic sugar for general_zip::try_zip_with

zip_with

A wrapper around try_zip_with for infallible mapping

Structs

Input

A type that contains useful meta-data about a the Vec<_> that it was created from

NoneError

The error type that results from applying the try operator (?) to a None value.

Output

An write only buffer that may overlap with some input buffer this allows reuse of that input buffer to turn it into a Vec<_> inside of tuple::try_into_vec

UninitBox

An uninitialized piece of memory

Traits

BoxExt

Extension methods for Box<T>

Try

A stable version of core::ops::Try.

Tuple

A specialized const-list for emulating varaidic generics

TupleElem

This trait abstracts away elements of the input stream

VecExt

Extension methods for Vec<T>

Functions

try_zip_with_impl

Does the work of the try_zip_with or zip_with macros.
