Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

lookup-table

Purports to be a simple key -> value lookup table. Known as a 'Dictionary' in some circles. It attempts to optimize for speed of lookup by choosing different storage models.

Documentation

dict-safe-mode

[parameter] (dict-safe-mode [FLAG #f])

Sets or gets the safe execution mode.

Enables or disables argument validation. Also literal object return.

make-dict

[procedure] (make-dict [EQUALITY eq?] [ESTIMATE <small-number>])

Returns a dictionary using the supplied EQUALITY test, optimized for the number of elements ESTIMATE.

alist->dict

[procedure] (alist->dict ALIST [EQUALITY eq?] [ESTIMATE 0])

Returns a dictionary constructed from ALIST using the supplied EQUALITY test, and optional ESTIMATE.

dict?

[procedure] (dict? OBJECT)

Is the OBJECT a dictionary?

dict-equivalence-function

[procedure] (dict-equivalence-function DICT)

Returns the equality test predicate procedure for DICT.

dict-count

[procedure] (dict-count DICT)

Returns the number of items in the DICT.

dict-keys

[procedure] (dict-keys DICT)

Returns the keys in the DICT.

dict-values

[procedure] (dict-values DICT)

Returns the values in the DICT.

dict->alist

[procedure] (dict->alist DICT)

Returns the DICT as an association list. The result may not be mutated!

dict-ref

[procedure] (dict-ref DICT KEY [DEFAULT #f])

Returns the value associated with KEY in the DICT, otherwise DEFAULT.

dict-exists?

[procedure] (dict-exists? DICT KEY)

Does an entry with KEY exist in the DICT ?

dict-set!

[procedure] (dict-set! DICT KEY VALUE)

Associate VALUE with KEY in the DICT.

VALUE must not be (code (void)) !

dict-update!

[procedure] (dict-update! DICT KEY DEFAULT-VALUE-PROCEDURE [FUNC identity])

Invokes FUNC on either the existing value for KEY in the DICT, or the result of the DEFAULT-VALUE-PROCEDURE when no existing value. The result then becomes the value for KEY in the DICT.

Returns the updated value for KEY in the DICT.

DEFAULT-VALUE-PROCEDURE must not return (code (void)) !

dict-update-list!

[procedure] (dict-update-list! DICT KEY [OBJECT]...)

Updates the value for KEY in the DICT with a list of OBJECT.

dict-update-dict!

[procedure] (dict-update-dict! DICT KEY)

Updates the value for KEY in the DICT with a dictionay.

dict-delete!

[procedure] (dict-delete! DICT KEY)

Removes any association of KEY in the DICT.

dict-for-each

[procedure] (dict-for-each DICT (PROCEDURE (-> KEY VALUE <ignored>)))

Invokes the supplied PROCEDURE with each association in the DICT.

dict-merge!

[procedure] (dict-merge! DICT [DICT-1...])

Returns the DICT as the union of ( DICT DICT-1 ...) using overwrite semantics.

Tables must have the same equality predicate.

[procedure] (dict-search DICT (PROCEDURE (-> object object boolean)) [DEFAULT #f])

Accepts a PROCEDURE of two arguments, key and value. When the procedure returns (code #t) this procedure returns the value. Otherwise the DEFAULT value is returned.)

dict-print

[procedure] (dict-print DICT [PORT (current-output-port)])

Pretty-print DICT to PORT.
