Pre-release
demux getKey getScan: In a key value stream, scan values corresponding
to each key using a key specific scan. getScan is invoked to generate a
key specific scan when a key is encountered for the first time in the
stream. If a scan does not exist corresponding to the key then Nothing is
returned otherwise the result of the scan is returned.
If a scan terminates, another instance of the scan is started upon receiving
an input with that key, getScan is invoked again whenever the key is
encountered again.
This can be used to scan a stream, splitting it based on different keys.
Since the scan generator function is monadic we can add scans dynamically. For example, we can maintain a Map of keys to scans in an IORef and lookup the scan from that corresponding to a key. This Map can be changed dynamically, scans for new keys can be added or scans for old keys can be deleted or modified.
Compare with classify, the scan in classify is a static scan.
Pre-release
This is specialized version of demux that uses mutable IO cells as scan accumulators for better performance.

Make a strict left scan, for non-empty streams, using first element as the starting value. Returns Nothing if the stream is empty.

Pre-release
Make a scan from a left fold style monadic step function and initial value of the accumulator.
Make a scan using a right fold style step function and a terminal value. It performs a strict right fold via a left fold using function composition. Note that a strict right fold can only be useful for constructing strict structures in memory. For reductions this will be very inefficient.

Pre-release
Map a monadic function on the output of a scan.

Example:
input = Stream.fromList "hello\nthere\n"line = Scanl.takeEndBy (== '\n') Scanl.toListStream.toList $ Stream.scanl line input["","h","he","hel","hell","hello","hello\n"]
Like takeEndBy but drops the element on which the predicate succeeds.

input = Stream.fromList "hello\nthere\n"line = Scanl.takeEndBy_ (== '\n') Scanl.toListStream.toList $ Stream.scanl line input["","h","he","hel","hell","hello","hello"]
teeWith k f1 f2 distributes its input to both f1 and f2 until any
one of them terminates. The outputs of the two scans are combined using the
function k.

avg = Scanl.teeWith (/) Scanl.sum (fmap fromIntegral Scanl.length)Stream.toList $ Stream.postscanl avg $ Stream.fromList [1.0..10.0][1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,3.5,4.0,4.5,5.0,5.5]
Note that nested applications of teeWith do not fuse.
Pre-release
Scans the input stream building a list.
Warning! working on large lists accumulated as buffers in memory could be very inefficient, consider using Streamly.Data.Array instead.
toList = Scanl.mkScanr (:) []The type Scanl m a b represents a consumer of an input stream of values
of type a and returning a final value of type b in Monad m. The
constructor of a scan is Scanl step initial extract final.
The scan uses an internal state of type s. The initial value of the state
s is created by initial. This function is called once and only once
before the scan starts consuming input. Any resource allocation can be done
in this function.
The step function is called on each input, it consumes an input and
returns the next intermediate state (see Step) or the final result b if
the scan terminates.
The extract function is used by the scan
driver to map the current state s of the scan to the scan result. Thus
extract can be called multiple times.
Before a scan terminates, final is called once and only once (unless the
scan terminated in initial itself). Any resources allocated by initial
can be released in final. In scan that do not require any cleanup
extract and final are typically the same.
When implementing scan combinators, care should be taken to cleanup any
state of the argument folds held by the fold by calling the respective
final at all exit points of the scan. Also, final should not be called
more than once. Note that if a scan terminates by Done constructor, there
is no state to cleanup.
NOTE: The constructor is not yet released, smart constructors are provided to create scans.
An abstract type for specifying the configuration parameters of a
Channel. Use Config -> Config modifier functions to modify the default
configuration. See the individual modifier documentation for default values.
Specify the maximum size of the buffer for storing the results from concurrent computations. If the buffer becomes full we stop spawning more concurrent tasks until there is space in the buffer. A value of 0 resets the buffer size to default, a negative value means there is no limit. The default value is 1500.
CAUTION! using an unbounded maxBuffer value (i.e. a negative value)
coupled with an unbounded maxThreads value is a recipe for disaster in
presence of infinite streams, or very large streams. Especially, it must
not be used when pure is used in ZipAsyncM streams as pure in
applicative zip streams generates an infinite stream causing unbounded
concurrent generation with no limit on the buffer or threads.
Spawn bound threads (i.e., spawn threads using forkOS instead of
forkIO). The default value is False.
Currently, this only takes effect only for concurrent folds.
Print debug information about the Channel when the stream ends. When the
stream does not end normally, the channel debug information is printed when
the channel is garbage collected. If you are expecting but not seeing the
debug info try adding a performMajorGC before the program ends.
Execute both the scans in a tee concurrently.
Example:
src = Stream.delay 1 (Stream.enumerateFromTo 1 3)delay x = threadDelay 1000000 >> print x >> return xc1 = Scanl.lmapM delay Scanl.sumc2 = Scanl.lmapM delay Scanl.lengthdst = Scanl.parTeeWith id (,) c1 c2Stream.toList $ Stream.scanl dst src...
Evaluate a stream by distributing its inputs across zero or more concurrently running scans. New scans can be generated dynamically. Use parDistributeScan for an eaiser to use interface, if you do not need the power of parDistributeScanM.
Before processing each input element, the supplied action is executed to produce additional scans. These scans are appended to the set of currently active scans. If you do not want the same scan to be added repeatedly, ensure that the action only generates it once (see the example below).
If there are no scans currently active, the input element is discarded. The results from all active scans are collected and lattened into the the output stream.
Concurrency and buffering:
If the input buffer (see maxBuffer) is bounded, a scan may block until space becomes available. If any scan is blocked on buffer, all scans are blocked. Processing continues only when all scans have buffer space available.
Example:
import Data.IORefref <- newIORef [Scanl.take 5 Scanl.sum, Scanl.take 5 Scanl.length :: Scanl.Scanl IO Int Int]gen = atomicModifyIORef ref (\xs -> ([], xs))Stream.toList $ Scanl.parDistributeScanM id gen (Stream.enumerateFromTo 1 10)...
A pure variant of parDistributeScanM that uses a fixed list of scans.
The provided scans are started once and run concurrently for the duration of the stream. Each input element is distributed to all active scans, and their outputs are collected and emitted together.
Example:
xs = [Scanl.take 5 Scanl.sum, Scanl.take 5 Scanl.length :: Scanl.Scanl IO Int Int]Stream.toList $ Scanl.parDistributeScan id xs (Stream.enumerateFromTo 1 10)...
Evaluate a stream by routing each input to a scan determined by a key.
For each distinct key, the first input encountered triggers the creation of a new scan (via the supplied key-to-scan function). This scan is then added to the set of currently active scans. Subsequent inputs with the same key are directed to the same scan.
If no scan can be created for a key, the input element is discarded.
When a constituent scan completes, its final output is emitted as part of the composed output stream. The output of parDemuxScanM is a stream of key–value pairs, where each value is the output produced by the scan corresponding to that key.
For a simpler interface, use parDemuxScan if you do not need the full flexibility of parDemuxScanM.
Example:
import qualified Data.Map.Strict as Mapimport Data.Maybe (fromJust)f1 = ("even", Scanl.take 5 Scanl.sum)f2 = ("odd", Scanl.take 5 Scanl.sum)kv = Map.fromList [f1, f2]getScan k = return (fromJust $ Map.lookup k kv)getKey x = if even x then "even" else "odd"input = Stream.enumerateFromTo 1 10Stream.toList $ Scanl.parDemuxScanM id getKey getScan input...
A pure variant of parDemuxScanM where the key-to-scan mapping is static and does not require monadic effects.
Each distinct key is deterministically mapped to a scan using the provided function. The behavior is otherwise the same as parDemuxScanM.
