cabal-version: 2.2 name: skew-list version: 0.1 x-revision: 3 synopsis: Random access lists: skew binary category: Data description: This package provides ordinary random access list, 'SkewList' implemented using skew binary approach. . It's worth comparing to ordinary lists, binary random access list (as in @ral@ package) and vectors (@vector@ package) across two operations: indexing and consing. . +------------------------------+------------+----------+ | | Consing | Indexing | +------------------------------+------------+----------+ | Ordinary list, @[a]@ | O(1) | O(n) | +------------------------------+------------+----------+ | Binary list, @RAList a@ | O(log n) | O(log n) | +------------------------------+------------+----------+ | Vector, @Vector@ | O(n) | O(1) | +------------------------------+------------+----------+ | Sequence, @Seq@ | O(1) | O(log n) | +------------------------------+------------+----------+ | Skew binary list, @SkewList@ | O(1) | O(log n) | +------------------------------+------------+----------+ . @SkewList@ improves upon ordinary list, the cons operation is still constant time (though with higher constant factor), but indexing can be done in a logarithmic time. . Binary list cons is slower, as it might need to walk over whole /log n/ sized structure. . @Vector@ is the other end of trade-off spectrum: indexing is constant time operation, but consing a new element will need to copy whole spine. . @Seq@ from "Data.Sequence" has similar (but amortized) complexity bounds for cons and index as @SkewList@. However (it seems) that indexing is quicker for @SkewList@ in practice. Also @SkewList@ has strict spine. On the other hand, @Seq@ has quick append if you need that. . If you need both: fast consing and index, consider using @SkewList@. homepage: https://github.com/phadej/skew-list bug-reports: https://github.com/phadej/skew-list/issues license: BSD-3-Clause license-file: LICENSE author: Oleg Grenrus maintainer: Oleg.Grenrus copyright: (c) 2022 Oleg Grenrus build-type: Simple extra-source-files: ChangeLog.md tested-with: GHC ==8.6.5 || ==8.8.4 || ==8.10.7 || ==9.0.2 || ==9.2.8 || ==9.4.8 || ==9.6.5 || ==9.8.2 || ==9.10.1 source-repository head type: git location: https://github.com/phadej/skew-list.git library default-language: Haskell2010 hs-source-dirs: src ghc-options: -Wall -fprint-explicit-kinds exposed-modules: Data.SkewList.Lazy Data.SkewList.Strict -- Internal modules exposed-modules: Data.SkewList.Lazy.Internal Data.SkewList.Strict.Internal other-modules: TrustworthyCompat -- GHC boot libs build-depends: , base >=4.12.0.0 && <4.21 , deepseq >=1.4.4.0 && <1.6 -- other dependencies build-depends: , hashable ^>=1.4.1.0 , indexed-traversable ^>=0.1.1 , QuickCheck ^>=2.14.2 || ^>=2.15 , strict ^>=0.4.0.1 || ^>=0.5 if impl(ghc >=9.0) -- these flags may abort compilation with GHC-8.10 -- https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/3295 ghc-options: -Winferred-safe-imports -Wmissing-safe-haskell-mode test-suite skew-list-tests type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: skew-list-tests.hs other-modules: Lazy Strict default-language: Haskell2010 hs-source-dirs: tests ghc-options: -Wall build-depends: , base , indexed-traversable , QuickCheck ^>=2.14.2 || ^>=2.15 , skew-list , tasty ^>=1.4.2.3 || ^>=1.5 , tasty-hunit ^>=0.10.0.3 , tasty-quickcheck ^>=0.10.2 benchmark skew-list-bench type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: skew-list-bench.hs default-language: Haskell2010 hs-source-dirs: bench ghc-options: -Wall build-depends: , base , containers , criterion ^>=1.6.0.0 , ral ^>=0.2.1 , skew-list , vector ^>=0.13.0.0
