Creation and string conversion

val create : ?max_mem_waiting_gc:Byte_units.t -> int -> t

create length
Returns a new bigstring having length. Content is undefined.

max_mem_waiting_gc : default = 256 M in OCaml <= 3.12, 1 G otherwise. As the total allocation of calls to create approach max_mem_waiting_gc, the pressure in the garbage collector to be more agressive will increase.

val init : int -> f:(int -> char) -> t

init n ~f creates a bigstring t of length n, with t.{i} = f i

val of_string : ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> string -> t

of_string ?pos ?len str
Returns a new bigstring that is equivalent to the substring of length len in str starting at position pos.

pos : default = 0

len : default = String.length str - pos

val to_string : ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> t -> string

to_string ?pos ?len bstr
Raises Invalid_argument if the string would exceed runtime limits.
Returns a new string that is equivalent to the substring of length len in bstr starting at position pos.

pos : default = 0

len : default = length bstr - pos

Checking

val check_args : loc:string -> pos:int -> len:int -> t -> unit

check_args ~loc ~pos ~len bstr checks the position and length arguments pos and len for bigstrings bstr.
Raises Invalid_argument if these arguments are illegal for the given bigstring using loc to indicate the calling context.

val get_opt_len : t -> pos:int -> int option -> int

get_opt_len bstr ~pos opt_len
Returns the length of a subbigstring in bstr starting at position pos and given optional length opt_len. This function does not check the validity of its arguments. Use Bigstring.check_args for that purpose.

Accessors

val length : t -> int

length bstr
Returns the length of bigstring bstr.

val sub : ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> t -> t

sub ?pos ?len bstr
Returns the sub-bigstring in bstr that starts at position pos and has length len. The sub-bigstring is a unique copy of the memory region, i.e. modifying it will not modify the original bigstring. Note that this is different than the behavior of the standard OCaml Array1.sub, which shares the memory.

pos : default = 0

len : default = Bigstring.length bstr - pos

val sub_shared : ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> t -> t

sub_shared ?pos ?len bstr
Returns the sub-bigstring in bstr that starts at position pos and has length len. The sub-bigstring shares the same memory region, i.e. modifying it will modify the original bigstring. Holding on to the sub-bigstring will also keep the (usually bigger) original one around.

pos : default = 0

len : default = Bigstring.length bstr - pos

val get : t -> int -> char

get t pos returns the character at pos

val set : t -> int -> char -> unit

set t pos sets the character at pos

val is_mmapped : t -> bool

is_mmapped bstr
Returns whether the bigstring bstr is memory-mapped.

       ?src_pos:int -> ?src_len:int -> dst:'dst -> ?dst_pos:int -> unit -> unit

Search

Destruction

val unsafe_destroy : t -> unit

unsafe_destroy bstr destroys the bigstring by deallocating its associated data or, if memory-mapped, unmapping the corresponding file, and setting all dimensions to zero. This effectively frees the associated memory or address-space resources instantaneously. This feature helps working around a bug in the current OCaml runtime, which does not correctly estimate how aggressively to reclaim such resources.

This operation is safe unless you have passed the bigstring to another thread that is performing operations on it at the same time. Access to the bigstring after this operation will yield array bounds exceptions.
Raises Failure if the bigstring has already been deallocated (or deemed "external", which is treated equivalently), or if it has proxies, i.e. other bigstrings referring to the same data.
