Standard Library

Below is the API for the OCaml standard library. It's directly copied over from the OCaml Manual, formatted to the Reason syntax and styled accordingly. The API docs are work-in-progress; we'll be polishing these gradually!

If you're targeting JavaScript, the API docs for BuckleScript includes all of below, plus JS-specific APIs.

Module type Weak.S

module type S = sig .. end
The output signature of the functor Weak.Make.

type data 
The type of the elements stored in the table.
type t 
The type of tables that contain elements of type data. Note that weak hash tables cannot be marshaled using Pervasives.output_value or the functions of the Marshal module.
val create : int -> t
create n creates a new empty weak hash table, of initial size n. The table will grow as needed.
val clear : t -> unit
Remove all elements from the table.
val merge : t -> data -> data
merge t x returns an instance of x found in t if any, or else adds x to t and return x.
val add : t -> data -> unit
add t x adds x to t. If there is already an instance of x in t, it is unspecified which one will be returned by subsequent calls to find and merge.
val remove : t -> data -> unit
remove t x removes from t one instance of x. Does nothing if there is no instance of x in t.
val find : t -> data -> data
find t x returns an instance of x found in t. Raise Not_found if there is no such element.
val find_all : t -> data -> data list
find_all t x returns a list of all the instances of x found in t.
val mem : t -> data -> bool
mem t x returns true if there is at least one instance of x in t, false otherwise.
val iter : (data -> unit) -> t -> unit
iter f t calls f on each element of t, in some unspecified order. It is not specified what happens if f tries to change t itself.
val fold : (data -> 'a -> 'a) -> t -> 'a -> 'a
fold f t init computes (f d1 (... (f dN init))) where d1 ... dN are the elements of t in some unspecified order. It is not specified what happens if f tries to change t itself.
val count : t -> int
Count the number of elements in the table. count t gives the same result as fold (fun _ n -> n+1) t 0 but does not delay the deallocation of the dead elements.
val stats : t -> int * int * int * int * int * int
Return statistics on the table. The numbers are, in order: table length, number of entries, sum of bucket lengths, smallest bucket length, median bucket length, biggest bucket length.
