copies data from one array to another. This assumes that the destination array is large enough to accommodate the data
swap_array buf len
copies the contents of buf
to a new array of length
len
and places that new data into the buffer
double the size of the buffer
half the size of the buffer
iter buf ~f
calls func on each buffer element starting with 0
like this: (func pos element)
iterr buf ~f
calls func on each buffer element starting with end
like this: (func pos element)
drop stuff from the end. equivalent to while cutoff > f (get buf (length buf - 1)) do drop_last buf; done but calls drop just once
