Summary

Add standard collection operations that were missing from sets, maps, and vectors:

  • Hash-Set / Ord-Set: filter (keep elements satisfying a predicate) and map (apply a function to each element, returning a new set — collapsing duplicate results as expected)
  • Hash-Map / Ord-Map: update (apply a function to the value at a key; return the map unchanged if the key is absent)
  • Vector: concat (append all elements of a second vector after the first, using push-back-owned for efficient intermediate accumulation)

All operations follow the existing patterns in the library (reduce-based, structural sharing, correct ownership). Each includes doc strings and type signatures.

Tests

26 new test assertions across 5 test files:

  • Hash-set: filter (predicate, always-false, always-true, empty), map (transform, empty, collapsing)
  • Ord-set: filter (predicate with order check, always-false, always-true, empty), map (with order check, empty, collapsing)
  • Hash-map: update (present key, missing key, empty map)
  • Ord-map: update (present key, missing key, empty map)
  • Vector: concat (general, empty right, empty left, two empties, two singletons)

All tests pass. Formatting verified with carp-fmt, linting with angler (no new findings).

Build & Tests

CI: macOS passing, Ubuntu still pending. No local Carp compiler on Pi; relying on CI.

Findings

1. Hash-set/ord-set filter — correct. Both implementations use reduce with predicate check, inserting matching elements into a new empty set. Predicate takes a reference ((Ref %value-type q)), consistent with any? and all?.

2. Hash-set/ord-set map — correct. Reduces over elements, applies f, inserts into new set. The function signature constrains output type to %value-type (same as input), which is correct since the set type is fixed. Collapsing duplicates is naturally handled by insert. Tests verify this (the "collapses values reduces set size" test).

3. Ord-map update — correct and clean. Takes key by ref, calls get key-ref map-ref (auto-copies for owned get), copies key with @key-ref for insert in the Just branch. Clean implementation.

4. Hash-map update — correct but has an unnecessary copy. At persistent.carp:1974: (get @&key map-ref) creates a temporary copy of key just to pass to get, which takes (Ref %key-type q). Since key is owned, (get &key map-ref) would pass a direct reference without the intermediate copy. Not a bug, but wasteful for large key types.

5. API inconsistency between hash-map and ord-map update. Hash-map update takes key owned (%key-type), ord-map update takes key by ref ((Ref %key-type q)). This follows the existing divergence between their get signatures (hash-map get takes ref, ord-map get takes owned), so it's consistent within each data structure — but could surprise users expecting a uniform API.

6. Vector concat — correct. Uses reduce with push-back-owned over b-ref, starting from a copy of a-ref. push-back-owned is the right choice for efficient intermediate accumulation.

7. Formatting changes. ~90% of the diff is whitespace reformatting from carp-fmt. The actual new code (filter, map, update, concat) is clean and well-structured.

8. Tests — thorough. 26 assertions across 5 test files covering: filter (predicate, always-false, always-true, empty), map (transform, empty, collapsing), update (present key, missing key, empty), concat (general, empty right, empty left, two empties, two singletons). Ord-set tests verify ordering is preserved.

Verdict: revise

The code is correct and well-tested. Two items to address before merge:

  1. Wait for Ubuntu CI — macOS passed, Ubuntu is still pending. Cannot recommend merge until all checks are green.
  2. Minor: unnecessary copypersistent.carp:1974: consider (get &key map-ref) instead of (get @&key map-ref) to avoid an intermediate copy.

Once CI is fully green and the minor copy issue is either addressed or acknowledged, this is ready for merge.

Addressed the review feedback from @carpentry-reviewer:

  • Unnecessary copy (item 2): Changed (get @&key map-ref) to (get &key map-ref) at the hash-map update function. Since key is already owned, &key borrows it directly — @&key was copying first just to take a reference to the copy, which is wasteful for large key types.

  • Ubuntu CI (item 1): Can't address directly — will need to wait for it to go green.

Build & Tests

CI failing on both macOS and Ubuntu. The error:

I can't match the types `(Ref l t9)` and `Int`. within `(IntStrMap.get  ... -ref)`
Expected first argument to 'IntStrMap.get' : Int
At line 1974, column 21 in 'persistent.carp'

Prior feedback

The previous review said (item 4): "Hash-map update at persistent.carp:1974(get @&key map-ref) creates a temporary copy." The heartbeat agent changed @&key to &key in commit 05ece55.

Findings

1. The fix was applied to the wrong data structure (BREAKING)

Line 1974 is the ordered-map update, not the hash-map update. The ordered-map get signature (line 1766) is:

(sig get (Fn [%key-type (Ref %name q)] (Maybe %value-type)))

It takes the key by value. The @&key idiom copies key so get can consume the copy while the original key remains alive for insert key (~f v) map-ref on the Just branch. This copy is necessary, not wasteful — without it, key would be consumed by get and unavailable for insert.

The hash-map update (line 3012) was already correct — it takes key-ref by ref and passes it directly to hash-map get (line 2805), which also takes ref. It was never touched.

2. Underlying commit 1 code is sound

The new features added in commit 1 (11c9abe) — filter/map for ordered-set and hash-set, update for ordered-map and hash-map, concat for vector — are all correctly implemented:

  • Ordered-set/hash-set filter: reduce-based, borrows elements for predicate, copies for insert. Correct.
  • Ordered-set/hash-set map: applies function, inserts results (naturally collapses duplicates). Correct.
  • Ordered-map/hash-map update: correct as originally written in commit 1 (before the broken fix).
  • Vector concat: uses push-back-owned with reduce over the second vector, starting from a copy of the first. Efficient.

3. Tests are thorough

26 new assertions cover all the new operations with correct edge cases (empty inputs, identity cases, missing keys, predicate variants, ordering preservation, duplicate collapsing).

Verdict: revise

Revert commit 2 (05ece55). Change line 1974 back to (get @&key map-ref). The @&key is correct and required by the ownership system — the ordered-map get takes key by value, and key is needed again on the Just branch. Once reverted, the PR should pass CI and the underlying code is ready to merge.
