Boxed arrays Unboxed arrays Overloaded mutable array interface
Description
Mutable boxed and unboxed arrays in the `ST` monad.
Synopsis
data STArray s i e
data STUArray s i a
castSTUArray :: STUArray s ix a -> ST s (STUArray s ix b)
module Data.Array.MArray
Boxed arrays
data STArray s i e
Mutable, boxed, non-strict arrays in the `ST` monad. The type arguments are as follows: `s`: the state variable argument for the `ST` type `i`: the index type of the array (should be an instance of `Ix`) `e`: the element type of the array.
Instances
HasBounds (STArray s)
MArray (STArray s) e (ST s)
(Typeable a, Typeable b, Typeable c) => Typeable (STArray a b c)
Eq (STArray s i e)
Unboxed arrays
data STUArray s i a
A mutable array with unboxed elements, that can be manipulated in the `ST` monad. The type arguments are as follows: `s`: the state variable argument for the `ST` type `i`: the index type of the array (should be an instance of `Ix`) `e`: the element type of the array. Only certain element types are supported. An `STUArray` will generally be more efficient (in terms of both time and space) than the equivalent boxed version (`STArray`) with the same element type. However, `STUArray` is strict in its elements - so don't use `STUArray` if you require the non-strictness that `STArray` provides.
Instances
(Typeable a, Typeable b, Typeable c) => Typeable (STUArray a b c)
HasBounds (STUArray s)
MArray (STUArray s) Bool (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Char (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Int (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Word (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) (Ptr a) (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) (FunPtr a) (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Float (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Double (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) (StablePtr a) (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Int8 (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Int16 (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Int32 (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Int64 (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Word8 (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Word16 (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Word32 (ST s)
MArray (STUArray s) Word64 (ST s)
castSTUArray :: STUArray s ix a -> ST s (STUArray s ix b)
Casts an `STUArray` with one element type into one with a different element type. All the elements of the resulting array are undefined (unless you know what you're doing...).
