Module CCFun

Basic operations on Functions

val id : 'a -> 'a
val const : 'a -> 'b -> 'a
val flip : ( 'a -> 'b -> 'c ) -> 'b -> 'a -> 'c
val negate : ( 'a -> bool ) -> 'a -> bool
val protect : finally:( unit -> unit ) -> ( unit -> 'a ) -> 'a
exception Finally_raised of exn
val compose : ( 'a -> 'b ) -> ( 'b -> 'c ) -> 'a -> 'c

compose f g x is g (f x). Composition.

val compose_binop : ( 'a -> 'b ) -> ( 'b -> 'b -> 'c ) -> 'a -> 'a -> 'c

compose_binop f g is fun x y -> g (f x) (f y). Example (partial order): List.sort (compose_binop fst CCInt.compare) [1, true; 2, false; 1, false].

val curry : ( ('a * 'b) -> 'c ) -> 'a -> 'b -> 'c

curry f x y is f (x,y). Convert a function which accepts a pair of arguments into a function which accepts two arguments.

val uncurry : ( 'a -> 'b -> 'c ) -> ('a * 'b) -> 'c

uncurry f (x,y) is f x y. Convert a function which accepts a two arguments into a function which accepts a pair of arguments.

val tap : ( 'a -> _ ) -> 'a -> 'a

tap f x evaluates f x, discards it, then returns x. Useful in a pipeline, for instance:

CCArray.(1 -- 10)
|> tap CCArray.shuffle
|> tap @@ CCArray.sort Stdlib.compare
val lexicographic : ( 'a -> 'a -> int ) -> ( 'a -> 'a -> int ) -> 'a -> 'a -> int

Lexicographic combination of comparison functions.

val finally : h:( unit -> _ ) -> f:( unit -> 'a ) -> 'a

finally ~h f calls f () and returns its result. If it raises, the same exception is raised; in any case, h () is called after f () terminates. If h () raises an exception, then this exception will be passed on and any exception that may have been raised by f () is lost.

val finally1 : h:( unit -> _ ) -> ( 'a -> 'b ) -> 'a -> 'b

finally1 ~h f x is the same as f x, but after the computation, h () is called whether f x rose an exception or not. If h () raises an exception, then this exception will be passed on and any exception that may have been raised by f () is lost.

  • since 0.16
val finally2 : h:( unit -> _ ) -> ( 'a -> 'b -> 'c ) -> 'a -> 'b -> 'c

finally2 ~h f x y is the same as f x y, but after the computation, h () is called whether f x y rose an exception or not. If h () raises an exception, then this exception will be passed on and any exception that may have been raised by f () is lost.

  • since 0.16
val opaque_identity : 'a -> 'a

opaque_identity x is like x, but prevents Flambda from using x's definition for optimizing it. (flambda is an optimization/inlining pass in OCaml >= 4.03).

  • since 0.18
val iterate : int -> ( 'a -> 'a ) -> 'a -> 'a

iterate n f is f iterated n times. That is to say, iterate 0 f x is x, iterate 1 f x is f x, iterate 2 f x is f (f x), etc.

  • since 2.1

Infix

Infix operators.

module Infix : sig ... end
include module type of Infix
val (|>) : 'a -> ( 'a -> 'b ) -> 'b

x |> f is the same as f x. A 'pipe' operator.

val (@@) : ( 'a -> 'b ) -> 'a -> 'b

f @@ x is the same as f x, but right-associative.

  • since 0.5
val (%>) : ( 'a -> 'b ) -> ( 'b -> 'c ) -> 'a -> 'c

(f %> g) x or (%>) f g x is g (f x). Alias to compose.

val (%) : ( 'b -> 'c ) -> ( 'a -> 'b ) -> 'a -> 'c

(f % g) x or (%) f g x is f (g x). Mathematical composition.

Monad

Functions with a fixed domain are monads in their codomain.

module Monad (X : sig ... end) : sig ... end
