Module Netshm_hashtbl


module Netshm_hashtbl: sig .. end
Hash tables in shared memory

type ('a, 'b) t 
val manage : ?pagesize:int ->
?init:int ->
'a Netshm_data.data_manager ->
'b Netshm_data.data_manager ->
Netshm.locking_method -> Netshm.shm_descr -> ('a, 'b) t
Manages a shared memory object as a hash table like Netshm.manage, and additionally represent arbitrary O'Caml values.

It is essential that the same data managers are passed as at the time when the hash table was initialized.

For example, to get a hash table from int to string, use

 manage Netshm_data.int_manager Netshm_data.string_manager lm sd 

val add : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b -> unit
add tbl key value: Adds the binding of key to value to the table. Previous bindings are not removed, but simply hidden.
val find : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b
find tbl key: Finds the current binding of key in tbl or raises Not_found if no such binding exists.
val find_all : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b list
find_all tbl key returns the list of all data associated with key in tbl. The current binding is returned first, then the previous bindings, in reverse order of introduction in the table.
val mem : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> bool
mem tbl key checks if key is bound in tbl.
val remove : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> unit
remove tbl key removes the current binding of key in tbl, restoring the previous binding if it exists. It does nothing if key is not bound in tbl.
val replace : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b -> unit
replace tbl key value replaces the current binding of key in tbl by a binding of key to value. If key is unbound in tbl, a binding of key to value is added to tbl.
val iter : ('a -> 'b -> unit) -> ('a, 'b) t -> unit
iter f tbl applies f to all bindings in table tbl. f receives the key as first argument, and the associated value as second argument. Each binding is presented exactly once to f. The order in which the bindings are passed to f is unspecified. However, if the table contains several bindings for the same key, they are passed to f in reverse order of introduction, that is, the most recent binding is passed first.

While the iteration is in progress, the table is locked. That means you cannot modify it during the iteration.

val iter_keys : ('a -> unit) -> ('a, 'b) t -> unit
iter_keys f tbl applies f to all keys in table tbl. If there are several bindings for a key, f is only called once.

While the iteration is in progress, the table is locked. That means you cannot modify it during the iteration.

val fold : ('a -> 'b -> 'c -> 'c) -> ('a, 'b) t -> 'c -> 'c
fold f tbl init computes (f kN dN ... (f k1 d1 init)...), where k1 ... kN are the keys of all bindings in tbl, and d1 ... dN are the associated values. Each binding is presented exactly once to f. The order in which the bindings are passed to f is unspecified. However, if the table contains several bindings for the same key, they are passed to f in reverse order of introduction, that is, the most recent binding is passed first.

While the iteration is in progress, the table is locked. That means you cannot modify it during the iteration.

val length : ('a, 'b) t -> int
length tbl returns the number of bindings in tbl. Multiple bindings are counted multiply, so length gives the number of times iter calls its first argument.
val shm_table : ('a, 'b) t -> Netshm.shm_table
Returns the underlying shared memory table used to implement hash tables.
