-- | Vector clocks for versioning message flows
--   
--   This package provides a ready to use implementation of the vector
--   clock data-structures, which may be used to version messages and
--   determine causality relations between them in a distributed system.
--   
--   See <tt>Fundamentals of Distributed Computing: A Practical Tour of
--   Vector Clock Systems</tt> by R. Baldoni and M. Raynal for an overview

-- | A vector clock implementation in terms of simply-linked lists.
module Data.VectorClock.Simple

-- | A vector clock is, conceptually, an associtive list sorted by the
--   value of the key, where each key appears only once.
data VectorClock a b

-- | <i>O(1)</i>. The empty vector clock.
empty :: VectorClock a b

-- | <i>O(1)</i>. A vector clock with a single element.
singleton :: a -> b -> VectorClock a b

-- | <i>O(N)</i>. Insert each entry in the list one at a time.
fromList :: Ord a => [(a, b)] -> VectorClock a b

-- | <i>O(1)</i>. Is the vector clock empty?
null :: VectorClock a b -> Bool

-- | <i>O(N)</i>. The number of entries in the vector clock.
size :: VectorClock a b -> Int

-- | <i>O(N)</i>. Is the given key a key in an entry of the vector clock?
member :: Ord a => a -> VectorClock a b -> Bool

-- | <i>O(N)</i>. Lookup the value for a key in the vector clock.
lookup :: Ord a => a -> VectorClock a b -> Maybe b

-- | <i>O(1)</i>. All the entries in the vector clock. Note that this is
--   <i>not</i> the inverse of <a>fromList</a>.
toList :: VectorClock a b -> [(a, b)]

-- | <i>O(N)</i>. Insert or replace the entry for a key.
insert :: Ord a => a -> b -> VectorClock a b -> VectorClock a b

-- | <i>O(N)</i>. Increment the entry for a key.
inc :: (Ord a, Num b) => a -> VectorClock a b -> Maybe (VectorClock a b)

-- | <i>O(N)</i>. Increment the entry for a key. If the key does not exist,
--   assume it was the default.
incWithDefault :: (Ord a, Num b) => a -> VectorClock a b -> b -> VectorClock a b

-- | <i>O(N)</i>. Delete an entry from the vector clock. If the requested
--   entry does not exist, does nothing.
delete :: Ord a => a -> VectorClock a b -> VectorClock a b

-- | <i>O(max(N, M))</i>. Combine two vector clocks entry-by-entry.
combine :: (Ord a, Ord b) => (a -> Maybe b -> Maybe b -> Maybe b) -> VectorClock a b -> VectorClock a b -> VectorClock a b

-- | <i>O(max(N, M))</i>. The maximum of the two vector clocks.
max :: (Ord a, Ord b) => VectorClock a b -> VectorClock a b -> VectorClock a b

-- | The relations two vector clocks may find themselves in.
data Relation
Causes :: Relation
CausedBy :: Relation
Concurrent :: Relation

-- | <i>O(min(N, M))</i>. The relation between the two vector clocks.
relation :: (Ord a, Ord b) => VectorClock a b -> VectorClock a b -> Relation

-- | <i>O(min(N, M))</i>. Short-hand for <tt>relation vc1 vc2 ==
--   Causes</tt>.
causes :: (Ord a, Ord b) => VectorClock a b -> VectorClock a b -> Bool

-- | <i>O(N)</i>. Check whether the vector clock is valid or not.
valid :: (Ord a, Ord b) => VectorClock a b -> Bool
instance [safe] (Eq a, Eq b) => Eq (VectorClock a b)
instance [safe] Eq Relation
instance [safe] Show Relation
instance [safe] (Binary a, Binary b) => Binary (VectorClock a b)

--   This module re-exports <a>Data.VectorClock.Simple</a>, which is the
--   fully-featured vector clock library. As time goes on, other modules
--   may be added to this package to support the various flavours of vector
--   clocks useful to different applications.
