vec

Fast, safe mutable dynamic arrays for OCaml.

You can find API documentation here.

Summary

The idea behind this library is to provide efficient, mutable dynamic arrays with Rust-like mutability permissions.

To achieve this, the Vec.t type uses a polymorphic variant as a phantom type parameter, which is [`R | `W] for read-write vectors, [`R] for read-only vectors, or [`W] for write-only vectors.

All functions defined in the Vec module are polymorphic in this type parameter, only requiring it to contain each function's needed capability.

For example, functions that only read data from a vector accept a ('a, [> `R]) Vec.t parameter, so both [`R] vectors and [`R | `W] vectors can be passed.
