This library implements several of the more commonly useful immutable data //! structures for Rust. //! //! ## What are immutable data structures? //! //! Immutable data structures are data structures which can be copied and //! modified efficiently without altering the original. The most uncomplicated //! example of this is the venerable [cons list][cons-list]. This crate offers a //! selection of more modern and flexible data structures with similar //! properties, tuned for the needs of Rust developers. //! //! Briefly, the following data structures are provided: //! //! * [Vectors][vector::Vector] based on [RRB trees][rrb-tree] //! * [Hash maps][hashmap::HashMap]/[sets][hashset::HashSet] based on [hash //! array mapped tries][hamt] //! * [Ordered maps][ordmap::OrdMap]/[sets][ordset::OrdSet] based on //! [B-trees][b-tree] //! //! ## Why Would I Want This? //! //! While immutable data structures can be a game changer for other //! programming languages, the most obvious benefit - avoiding the //! accidental mutation of data - is already handled so well by Rust's //! type system that it's just not something a Rust programmer needs //! to worry about even when using data structures that would send a //! conscientious Clojure programmer into a panic. //! //! Immutable data structures offer other benefits, though, some of //! which are useful even in a language like Rust. The most prominent //! is *structural sharing*, which means that if two data structures //! are mostly copies of each other, most of the memory they take up //! will be shared between them. This implies that making copies of an //! immutable data structure is cheap: it's really only a matter of //! copying a pointer and increasing a reference counter, where in the //! case of [`Vec`][std::vec::Vec] you have to allocate the same //! amount of memory all over again and make a copy of every element //! it contains. For immutable data structures, extra memory isn't //! allocated until you modify either the copy or the original, and //! then only the memory needed to record the difference. //! //! Another goal of this library has been the idea that you shouldn't //! even have to think about what data structure to use in any given //! situation, until the point where you need to start worring about //! optimisation - which, in practice, often never comes. Beyond the //! shape of your data (ie. whether to use a list or a map), it should //! be fine not to think too carefully about data structures - you can //! just pick the one that has the right shape and it should have //! acceptable performance characteristics for every operation you //! might need. Specialised data structures will always be faster at //! what they've been specialised for, but `im` aims to provide the //! data structures which deliver the least chance of accidentally //! using them for the wrong thing. //! //! For instance, [`Vec`][std::vec::Vec] beats everything at memory //! usage, indexing and operations that happen at the back of the //! list, but is terrible at insertion and removal, and gets worse the //! closer to the front of the list you get. //! [`VecDeque`][std::collections::VecDeque] adds a little bit of //! complexity in order to make operations at the front as efficient //! as operations at the back, but is still bad at insertion and //! especially concatenation. [`Vector`][vector::Vector] adds another //! bit of complexity, and could never match [`Vec`][std::vec::Vec] at //! what it's best at, but in return every operation you can throw at //! it can be completed in a reasonable amount of time - even normally //! expensive operations like copying and especially concatenation are //! reasonably cheap when using a [`Vector`][vector::Vector]. //! //! It should be noted, however, that because of its simplicity, //! [`Vec`][std::vec::Vec] actually beats [`Vector`][vector::Vector] even at its //! strongest operations at small sizes, just because modern CPUs are //! hyperoptimised for things like copying small chunks of contiguous memory - //! you actually need to go past a certain size (usually in the vicinity of //! several hundred elements) before you get to the point where //! [`Vec`][std::vec::Vec] isn't always going to be the fastest choice. //! [`Vector`][vector::Vector] attempts to overcome this by actually just being //! an array at very small sizes, and being able to switch efficiently to the //! full data structure when it grows large enough. Thus, //! [`Vector`][vector::Vector] will actually be equivalent to //! [Vec][std::vec::Vec] until it grows past the size of a single chunk. //! //! The maps - [`HashMap`][hashmap::HashMap] and //! [`OrdMap`][ordmap::OrdMap] - generally perform similarly to their //! equivalents in the standard library, but tend to run a bit slower //! on the basic operations ([`HashMap`][hashmap::HashMap] is almost //! neck and neck with its counterpart, while //! [`OrdMap`][ordmap::OrdMap] currently tends to run 2-3x slower). On //! the other hand, they offer the cheap copy and structural sharing //! between copies that you'd expect from immutable data structures. //! //! In conclusion, the aim of this library is to provide a safe //! default choice for the most common kinds of data structures, //! allowing you to defer careful thinking about the right data //! structure for the job until you need to start looking for //! optimisations - and you may find, especially for larger data sets, //! that immutable data structures are still the right choice. //! //! ## Values //! //! Because we need to make copies of shared nodes in these data structures //! before updating them, the values you store in them must implement //! [`Clone`][std::clone::Clone]. For primitive values that implement //! [`Copy`][std::marker::Copy], such as numbers, everything is fine: this is //! the case for which the data structures are optimised, and performance is //! going to be great. //! //! On the other hand, if you want to store values for which cloning is //! expensive, or values that don't implement [`Clone`][std::clone::Clone], you //! need to wrap them in [`Rc`][std::rc::Rc] or [`Arc`][std::sync::Arc]. Thus, //! if you have a complex structure `BigBlobOfData` and you want to store a list //! of them as a `Vector<BigBlobOfData>`, you should instead use a //! `Vector<Rc<BigBlobOfData>>`, which is going to save you not only the time //! spent cloning the big blobs of data, but also the memory spent keeping //! multiple copies of it around, as [`Rc`][std::rc::Rc] keeps a single //! reference counted copy around instead. //! //! If you're storing smaller values that aren't //! [`Copy`][std::marker::Copy]able, you'll need to exercise judgement: if your //! values are going to be very cheap to clone, as would be the case for short //! [`String`][std::string::String]s or small [`Vec`][std::vec::Vec]s, you're //! probably better off storing them directly without wrapping them in an //! [`Rc`][std::rc::Rc], because, like the [`Rc`][std::rc::Rc], they're just //! pointers to some data on the heap, and that data isn't expensive to clone - //! you might actually lose more performance from the extra redirection of //! wrapping them in an [`Rc`][std::rc::Rc] than you would from occasionally //! cloning them. //! //! ### When does cloning happen? //! //! So when will your values actually be cloned? The easy answer is only if you //! [`clone`][std::clone::Clone::clone] the data structure itself, and then only //! lazily as you change it. Values are stored in tree nodes inside the data //! structure, each node of which contains up to 64 values. When you //! [`clone`][std::clone::Clone::clone] a data structure, nothing is actually //! copied - it's just the reference count on the root node that's incremented, //! to indicate that it's shared between two data structures. It's only when you //! actually modify one of the shared data structures that nodes are cloned: //! when you make a change somewhere in the tree, the node containing the change //! needs to be cloned, and then its parent nodes need to be updated to contain //! the new child node instead of the old version, and so they're cloned as //! well. //! //! We can call this "lazy" cloning - if you make two copies of a data structure //! and you never change either of them, there's never any need to clone the //! data they contain. It's only when you start making changes that cloning //! starts to happen, and then only on the specific tree nodes that are part of //! the change. Note that the implications of lazily cloning the data structure //! extend to memory usage as well as the CPU workload of copying the data //! around - cloning an immutable data structure means both copies share the //! same allocated memory, until you start making changes. //! //! Most crucially, if you never clone the data structure, the data inside it is //! also never cloned, and in this case it acts just like a mutable data //! structure, with minimal performance differences (but still non-zero, as we //! still have to check for shared nodes). //! //! ## Data Structures //! //! We'll attempt to provide a comprehensive guide to the available //! data structures below. //! //! ### Performance Notes //! //! "Big O notation" is the standard way of talking about the time //! complexity of data structure operations. If you're not familiar //! with big O notation, here's a quick cheat sheet: //! //! *O(1)* means an operation runs in constant time: it will take the //! same time to complete regardless of the size of the data //! structure. //! //! *O(n)* means an operation runs in linear time: if you double the //! size of your data structure, the operation will take twice as long //! to complete; if you quadruple the size, it will take four times as //! long, etc. //! //! *O(log n)* means an operation runs in logarithmic time: for //! *log<sub>2</sub>*, if you double the size of your data structure, //! the operation will take one step longer to complete; if you //! quadruple the size, it will need two steps more; and so on. //! However, the data structures in this library generally run in //! *log<sub>64</sub>* time, meaning you have to make your data //! structure 64 times bigger to need one extra step, and 4096 times //! bigger to need two steps. This means that, while they still count //! as O(log n), operations on all but really large data sets will run //! at near enough to O(1) that you won't usually notice. //! //! *O(n log n)* is the most expensive operation you'll see in this //! library: it means that for every one of the *n* elements in your //! data structure, you have to perform *log n* operations. In our //! case, as noted above, this is often close enough to O(n) that it's //! not usually as bad as it sounds, but even O(n) isn't cheap and the //! cost still increases logarithmically, if slowly, as the size of //! your data increases. O(n log n) basically means "are you sure you //! need to do this?" //! //! *O(1)** means 'amortised O(1),' which means that an operation //! usually runs in constant time but will occasionally be more //! expensive: for instance, //! [`Vector::push_back`][vector::Vector::push_back], if called in //! sequence, will be O(1) most of the time but every 64th time it //! will be O(log n), as it fills up its tail chunk and needs to //! insert it into the tree. Please note that the O(1) with the //! asterisk attached is not a common notation; it's just a convention //! I've used in these docs to save myself from having to type //! 'amortised' everywhere. //! //! ### Lists //! //! Lists are sequences of single elements which maintain the order in //! which you inserted them. The only list in this library is //! [`Vector`][vector::Vector], which offers the best all round //! performance characteristics: it's pretty good at everything, even //! if there's always another kind of list that's better at something. //! //! | Type | Algorithm | Constraints | Order | Push | Pop | Split | Append | Lookup | //! | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | //! | [`Vector<A>`][vector::Vector] | [RRB tree][rrb-tree] | [`Clone`][std::clone::Clone] | insertion | O(1)* | O(1)* | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | //! //! ### Maps //! //! Maps are mappings of keys to values, where the most common read //! operation is to find the value associated with a given key. Maps //! may or may not have a defined order. Any given key can only occur //! once inside a map, and setting a key to a different value will //! overwrite the previous value. //! //! | Type | Algorithm | Key Constraints | Order | Insert | Remove | Lookup | //! | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | //! | [`HashMap<K, V>`][hashmap::HashMap] | [HAMT][hamt] | [`Clone`][std::clone::Clone] + [`Hash`][std::hash::Hash] + [`Eq`][std::cmp::Eq] | undefined | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | //! | [`OrdMap<K, V>`][ordmap::OrdMap] | [B-tree][b-tree] | [`Clone`][std::clone::Clone] + [`Ord`][std::cmp::Ord] | sorted | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | //! //! ### Sets //! //! Sets are collections of unique values, and may or may not have a //! defined order. Their crucial property is that any given value can //! only exist once in a given set. //! //! | Type | Algorithm | Constraints | Order | Insert | Remove | Lookup | //! | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | //! | [`HashSet<A>`][hashset::HashSet] | [HAMT][hamt] | [`Clone`][std::clone::Clone] + [`Hash`][std::hash::Hash] + [`Eq`][std::cmp::Eq] | undefined | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | //! | [`OrdSet<A>`][ordset::OrdSet] | [B-tree][b-tree] | [`Clone`][std::clone::Clone] + [`Ord`][std::cmp::Ord] | sorted | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | //! //! ## In-place Mutation //! //! All of these data structures support in-place copy-on-write //! mutation, which means that if you're the sole user of a data //! structure, you can update it in place without taking the //! performance hit of making a copy of the data structure before //! modifying it (this is about an order of magnitude faster than //! immutable operations, almost as fast as //! [`std::collections`][std::collections]'s mutable data structures). //! //! Thanks to [`Rc`][std::rc::Rc]'s reference counting, we are able to //! determine whether a node in a data structure is being shared with //! other data structures, or whether it's safe to mutate it in place. //! When it's shared, we'll automatically make a copy of the node //! before modifying it. The consequence of this is that cloning a //! data structure becomes a lazy operation: the initial clone is //! instant, and as you modify the cloned data structure it will clone //! chunks only where you change them, so that if you change the //! entire thing you will eventually have performed a full clone. //! //! This also gives us a couple of other optimisations for free: //! implementations of immutable data structures in other languages //! often have the idea of local mutation, like Clojure's transients //! or Haskell's `ST` monad - a managed scope where you can treat an //! immutable data structure like a mutable one, gaining a //! considerable amount of performance because you no longer need to //! copy your changed nodes for every operation, just the first time //! you hit a node that's sharing structure. In Rust, we don't need to //! think about this kind of managed scope, it's all taken care of //! behind the scenes because of our low level access to the garbage //! collector (which, in our case, is just a simple //! [`Rc`][std::rc::Rc]). //! //! ## Thread Safety //! //! The data structures in the `im` crate are thread safe, through //! [`Arc`][std::sync::Arc]. This comes with a slight performance impact, so //! that if you prioritise speed over thread safety, you may want to use the //! `im-rc` crate instead, which is identical to `im` except that it uses //! [`Rc`][std::rc::Rc] instead of [`Arc`][std::sync::Arc], implying that the //! data structures in `im-rc` do not implement [`Send`][std::marker::Send] and //! [`Sync`][std::marker::Sync]. This yields approximately a 20-25% increase in //! general performance. //! //! ## Feature Flags //! //! `im` comes with optional support for the following crates through Cargo //! feature flags. You can enable them in your `Cargo.toml` file like this: //! //! ```no_compile //! [dependencies] //! im = { version = "*", features = ["proptest", "serde"] } //! ``` //! //! | Feature | Description | //! | ------- | ----------- | //! | [`proptest`](https://crates.io/crates/proptest) | Strategies for all `im` datatypes under a `proptest` namespace, eg. `im::vector::proptest::vector()` | //! | [`quickcheck`](https://crates.io/crates/quickcheck) | `Arbitrary` implementations for all `im` datatypes (not available in `im-rc`) | //! | [`rayon`](https://crates.io/crates/rayon) | parallel iterator implementations for `Vector` (not available in `im-rc`) | //! | [`serde`](https://crates.io/crates/serde) | `Serialize` and `Deserialize` implementations for all `im` datatypes | //! //!
