Hi.
Is it possible to implement with camlp4, syntax for using hashtables like
arrays?
I think about something like this:
# let a = [{ }];;
val a : ('_a, '_b) Hashtbl.t = <abstr>
# a.{"foo"} <- 'f';;
- : unit = ()
I need only "yes" or "no" :)
Regards,
Lukasz Lew

So. If it is possibe, and there is such syntax for arrays, strings and bigarrays, so why there isn't any for hashtables? I belive hashtables are more often used than bigarrays...

Why don't you write one for yourself? It would also be good p4 practice. Be careful not to do something that looks like something else in mathematics though. That's how I would go about it.

Maybe, but code using hash tables does not access/modify them several times on the same line... There is also a reasonnable concern about not having too many fancy notations in the language. Last, as ocaml does not use camlp4 by default, the answer to your question would not imply that this is possible in ocaml alone. However, if you are not using bigarrays, you can actually reuse their notation in the vanilla compiler, by just defining the following module: # module Bigarray = struct module Array1 = struct let set = Hashtbl.add let get = Hashtbl.find end end;; module Bigarray : sig module Array1 : sig val set : ('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t -> 'a -> 'b -> unit val get : ('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t -> 'a -> 'b end end # let f x y z = x.{y} <- z;; val f : ('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t -> 'a -> 'b -> unit = <fun> # let g x y = x.{y};; val g : ('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t -> 'a -> 'b = <fun> However you probably also want sugar for hash table creation, and this would indeed require camlp4: {|"a" => 1; "b" => 2|} But you can still do a lot with simple functions: # let (=>) x y = (x,y);; val ( => ) : 'a -> 'b -> 'a * 'b = <fun> # let hash l = let h = Hashtbl.create (max 7 (List.length l)) in List.iter (fun (k,d) -> h.{k} <- d) l; h;; val hash : ('a * 'b) list -> ('a, 'b) Hashtbl.t = <fun> # let h = hash["a"=>1;"b"=>2];; val h : (string, int) Hashtbl.t = <abstr> # h.{"a"};; - : int = 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacques Garrigue Kyoto University garrigue at kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp <A HREF=http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~garrigue/>JG</A> ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
