Supporting SRFI 43 (Vectors)

Supporting SRFI 43 (Vectors)

[Duncan Mak]

Hello all,

As part of my project, I needed to use some APIs from SRFI 43 (vectors).

I noticed that Kawa doesn't come with this SRFI, it has its own APIs
for Vector (https://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Vectors.html) and that
is a subset of the entire SRFI 43 definition.

In particular, I was missing vector-reverse-copy!

What would it take to get SRFI 43 into the Kawa distribution?

I'll consider adding implementations for the missing procedures.
Initially on a procedure-by-procedure basis.

Okay, Here are the procedures that are missing:

= Constructors =
vector-unfold
vector-unfold-right
vector-reverse-copy
vector-concatenate

= Predicates =
vector-empty?
vector=

= Iteration =
vector-fold
vector-fold-right
vector-map!
vector-count

= Searching =
vector-index
vector-index-right
vector-skip
vector-skip-right
vector-binary-search
vector-any
vector-every

= Mutations =
vector-swap!
vector-reverse!
vector-reverse-copy!

= Conversion =
reverse-vector->list
reverse-list->vector

Turns out there's a newer version of SRFI 43.

https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-133/srfi-133.html

Of note:

SRFI 43 standardized more vector procedures, all of which are included
in this SRFI. Unfortunately, R7RS-small and SRFI 43 placed
irreconcileable requirements on the procedures invoked by vector-map
and vector-for-each. This SRFI resolves that issue by changing these
SRFI 43 procedures as well as vector-map!, vector-fold,
vector-fold-right, and vector-count to leave out the index argument
that is passed under SRFI 43's definition.
