$ show apple/swift-collections
This repository (apple/swift-collections) is a pure Swift library providing high-performance, specialized data structures that extend the Swift standard library. It includes stable modules like DequeModule (ring-buffer deque), OrderedCollections (ordered set/dictionary), HeapModule (min-max heap), BitCollections (BitSet/BitArray), and HashTreeCollections (persistent hash-array mapped trie TreeSet/TreeDictionary). It also contains experimental preview modules (e.g., SortedCollections using B-trees, RopeModule for rope-based BigString, and BasicContainers with non-copyable collections). The code is heavily optimized with copy-on-write, unsafe pointer usage, and advanced Swift ownership features. It is designed for production use with source stability guarantees, while preview modules are explicitly unstable. The library is consumed as a Swift package and integrates seamlessly with standard collection protocols.
The LLM identified 6 files worth highlighting for reuse:
A self-contained, efficient bitset implementation over raw memory. Provides operations like set, clear, and iteration over set bits. Reusable in any Swift project needing compact boolean storage.
Implements a trailng array pattern where a fixed-size header and variable-length element array are allocated in a single contiguous block. This is reusable for any strided data structure needing zero overhead for the element count storage.
An open-addressing hash table with bitmap occupancy tracking and Robin Hood hashing for improved cache performance. Isolated from higher-level collections, it can be extracted as a standalone hash table.
A min-max heap implementation providing both min and max retrieval in O(1) and deletions in O(log n). Self-contained and reusable as a double-ended priority queue in any Swift project.
An efficient integer set using a bitmap representation. Provides full SetAlgebra conformance with O(1) membership testing and linear-time set operations on the dense representation. Reusable for any domain needing an integer set with small or dense elements.
A generic rope data structure (balanced binary tree) supporting efficient concatenation, splitting, and indexing of sequences. Uses a configurable metric. Self-contained and reusable for building large mutable sequences like text editors.
