include Map.S with type 'a t = 'a Map.Make(O).t with type key = O.t
type key = O.t

The type of the map keys.

type 'a t = 'a Map.Make(O).t

The type of maps from type key to type 'a.

val empty : 'a t

The empty map.

val is_empty : 'a t -> bool

Test whether a map is empty or not.

val mem : key -> 'a t -> bool

mem x m returns true if m contains a binding for x, and false otherwise.

val add : key -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

add key data m returns a map containing the same bindings as m, plus a binding of key to data. If key was already bound in m to a value that is physically equal to data, m is returned unchanged (the result of the function is then physically equal to m). Otherwise, the previous binding of key in m disappears.

  • before 4.03

    Physical equality was not ensured.

val singleton : key -> 'a -> 'a t

singleton x y returns the one-element map that contains a binding y for x.

  • since 3.12.0
val remove : key -> 'a t -> 'a t

remove x m returns a map containing the same bindings as m, except for x which is unbound in the returned map. If x was not in m, m is returned unchanged (the result of the function is then physically equal to m).

  • before 4.03

    Physical equality was not ensured.

val merge : (key -> 'a option -> 'b option -> 'c option) -> 'a t -> 'b t -> 'c t

merge f m1 m2 computes a map whose keys are a subset of the keys of m1 and of m2. The presence of each such binding, and the corresponding value, is determined with the function f. In terms of the find_opt operation, we have find_opt x (merge f m1 m2) = f x (find_opt x m1) (find_opt x m2) for any key x, provided that f x None None = None.

  • since 3.12.0
val union : (key -> 'a -> 'a -> 'a option) -> 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

union f m1 m2 computes a map whose keys are a subset of the keys of m1 and of m2. When the same binding is defined in both arguments, the function f is used to combine them. This is a special case of merge: union f m1 m2 is equivalent to merge f' m1 m2, where

  • f' _key None None = None
  • f' _key (Some v) None = Some v
  • f' _key None (Some v) = Some v
  • f' key (Some v1) (Some v2) = f key v1 v2
  • since 4.03.0
val compare : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a t -> 'a t -> int

Total ordering between maps. The first argument is a total ordering used to compare data associated with equal keys in the two maps.

val equal : ('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t -> bool

equal cmp m1 m2 tests whether the maps m1 and m2 are equal, that is, contain equal keys and associate them with equal data. cmp is the equality predicate used to compare the data associated with the keys.

val iter : (key -> 'a -> unit) -> 'a t -> unit

iter f m applies f to all bindings in map m. f receives the key as first argument, and the associated value as second argument. The bindings are passed to f in increasing order with respect to the ordering over the type of the keys.

val fold : (key -> 'a -> 'b -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b -> 'b

fold f m init computes (f kN dN ... (f k1 d1 init)...), where k1 ... kN are the keys of all bindings in m (in increasing order), and d1 ... dN are the associated data.

val for_all : (key -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> bool

for_all f m checks if all the bindings of the map satisfy the predicate f.

  • since 3.12.0
val exists : (key -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> bool

exists f m checks if at least one binding of the map satisfies the predicate f.

  • since 3.12.0
val filter : (key -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t

filter f m returns the map with all the bindings in m that satisfy predicate p. If every binding in m satisfies f, m is returned unchanged (the result of the function is then physically equal to m)

  • since 3.12.0
  • before 4.03

    Physical equality was not ensured.

val filter_map : (key -> 'a -> 'b option) -> 'a t -> 'b t

filter_map f m applies the function f to every binding of m, and builds a map from the results. For each binding (k, v) in the input map:

  • if f k v is None then k is not in the result,
  • if f k v is Some v' then the binding (k, v') is in the output map.

For example, the following function on maps whose values are lists

filter_map
  (fun _k li -> match li with [] -> None | _::tl -> Some tl)
  m

drops all bindings of m whose value is an empty list, and pops the first element of each value that is non-empty.

  • since 4.11.0
val partition : (key -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t * 'a t

partition f m returns a pair of maps (m1, m2), where m1 contains all the bindings of m that satisfy the predicate f, and m2 is the map with all the bindings of m that do not satisfy f.

val split : key -> 'a t -> 'a t * 'a option * 'a t

split x m returns a triple (l, data, r), where l is the map with all the bindings of m whose key is strictly less than x; r is the map with all the bindings of m whose key is strictly greater than x; data is None if m contains no binding for x, or Some v if m binds v to x.

  • since 3.12.0

val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

map f m returns a map with same domain as m, where the associated value a of all bindings of m has been replaced by the result of the application of f to a. The bindings are passed to f in increasing order with respect to the ordering over the type of the keys.

val mapi : (key -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

Same as S.map, but the function receives as arguments both the key and the associated value for each binding of the map.
