Persistent_Map

container.Persistent_Map

Persistent_Map -- an abstract persistent map from keys K to values V

Functions

§
:
Any
 => 
String 
[Inherited from  Map]
create a string containing all mappings

redefines:

§
:
Any
 => 
Type 
[Inherited from  Any]
Get the dynamic type of this instance. For value instances `x`, this is
equal to `type_of x`, but for `x` with a `ref` type `x.dynamic_type` gives
the actual runtime type, while `type_of x` results in the static
compile-time type.

There is no dynamic type of a type instance since this would result in an
endless hierachy of types. So for Type values, dynamic_type is redefined
to just return Type.type.
§(k container.Map.K)
:
Any
 => 
bool 
[Inherited from  Map]
check if key k is present in the set of keys
§(k container.Map.K)
:
Any
 => 
option container.Map.V 
[Inherited from  Map]
get the value k is mapped to, or nil if none.
get a sequence of all key/value pairs in this map
§
:
Any
 => 
Sequence container.Map.K 
[Inherited from  Map]
get a sequence of all keys in this map
§
:
Any
 => 
String 
[Inherited from  Type]
name of this type, including type parameters, e.g. 'option (list i32)'.
§
:
Any
 => 
String 
[Inherited from  Any]
convenience prefix operator to create a string from a value.

This permits usage of `$` as a prefix operator in a similar way both
inside and outside of constant strings: $x and "$x" will produce the
same string.
§(k container.Persistent_Map.K, v container.Persistent_Map.V)
:
Any
 => 
container.Persistent_Map container.Persistent_Map.K container.Persistent_Map.V
returns a new Persistent_Map
which contains all entries of the
current Map and k,v.
An already existing k will be replaced.
§
:
Any
 => 
i32 
[Inherited from  Map]
number of entries in this map
get a sequence of all values in this map

Type Features

§
:
Any
 is
 
[Inherited from  Map]
initializer for this map

every map implementation needs to implement this
§
:
Any
 is
 
[Inherited from  Any]
Get a type as a value.

This is a feature with the effect equivalent to Fuzion's `expr.type` call tail.
It is recommended to use `expr.type` and not `expr.type_value`.

`type_value` is here to show how this can be implemented and to illustrate the
difference to `dynamic_type`.
