Module Queue
: sig end
First-in first-out queues.
This module implements queues (FIFOs), with in-place modification.
Warning This module is not thread-safe: each Queue.t value must be pro‐
tected from concurrent access (e.g. with a Mutex.t ). Failure to do so
can lead to a crash.
type 'a t
The type of queues containing elements of type 'a .
exception Empty
Raised when Queue.take or Queue.peek is applied to an empty queue.
val create : unit -> 'a t
Return a new queue, initially empty.
val add : 'a -> 'a t -> unit
add x q adds the element x at the end of the queue q .
val push : 'a -> 'a t -> unit
push is a synonym for add .
val take : 'a t -> 'a
take q removes and returns the first element in queue q , or raises
Empty if the queue is empty.
val pop : 'a t -> 'a
pop is a synonym for take .
val peek : 'a t -> 'a
peek q returns the first element in queue q , without removing it from
the queue, or raises Empty if the queue is empty.
val top : 'a t -> 'a
top is a synonym for peek .
val clear : 'a t -> unit
Discard all elements from a queue.
val copy : 'a t -> 'a t
Return a copy of the given queue.
val is_empty : 'a t -> bool
Return true if the given queue is empty, false otherwise.
val length : 'a t -> int
Return the number of elements in a queue.
val iter : ('a -> unit) -> 'a t -> unit
iter f q applies f in turn to all elements of q , from the least
recently entered to the most recently entered. The queue itself is
unchanged.
val fold : ('b -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'b -> 'a t -> 'b
fold f accu q is equivalent to List.fold_left f accu l , where l is the
list of q 's elements. The queue remains unchanged.
val transfer : 'a t -> 'a t -> unit
transfer q1 q2 adds all of q1 's elements at the end of the queue q2 ,
then clears q1 . It is equivalent to the sequence iter (fun x -> add x
q2) q1; clear q1 , but runs in constant time.
