Module IBase.Utils

val find_files : path:string -> extension:string -> string list

recursively traverse a path for files ending with a given extension

val fold_folders : init:'acc -> f:('acc -> string -> 'acc) -> path:string -> 'acc

recursively traverse a path for folders, returning resuls by a given fold function

val string_crc_hex32 : string -> string

Compute a 32-character hexadecimal crc using the Digest module

val read_file : string -> (string list, string) IStdlib.IStd.Result.t

read a source file and return a list of lines

val filename_to_absolute : root:string -> string -> string

Convert a filename to an absolute one if it is relative, and normalize "." and ".."

val filename_to_relative : ?⁠force_full_backtrack:bool -> ?⁠backtrack:int -> root:string -> string -> string option

Convert an absolute filename to one relative to a root directory. Returns None if filename is not under root. The backtrack level sets the maximum level of steps in the parent directories to search for a common prefix

type outfile = {
fname : string;

name of the file

out_c : IStdlib.IStd.Out_channel.t;

output channel

fmt : Stdlib.Format.formatter;

formatter for printing

}

type for files used for printing

val create_outfile : string -> outfile option

create an outfile for the command line, the boolean indicates whether to do demangling when closing the file

val close_outf : outfile -> unit

close an outfile

val directory_fold : ('a -> string -> 'a) -> 'a -> string -> 'a

Functional fold function over all the file of a directory

val directory_iter : (string -> unit) -> string -> unit

Functional iter function over all the file of a directory

val directory_is_empty : string -> bool

Returns true if a given directory is empty. The directory is assumed to exist.

val read_json_file : string -> (Yojson.Basic.t, string) IStdlib.IStd.Result.t
val with_file_in : string -> f:(IStdlib.IStd.In_channel.t -> 'a) -> 'a
val with_file_out : string -> f:(IStdlib.IStd.Out_channel.t -> 'a) -> 'a
type file_lock = {
file : string;
oc : Stdlib.out_channel;
fd : Core.Unix.File_descr.t;
lock : unit -> unit;
unlock : unit -> unit;
}
val create_file_lock : unit -> file_lock
val with_file_lock : file_lock:file_lock -> f:(unit -> 'a) -> 'a
val with_intermediate_temp_file_out : string -> f:(IStdlib.IStd.Out_channel.t -> 'a) -> 'a

like with_file_out but uses a fresh intermediate temporary file and rename to avoid write-write races

val write_json_to_file : string -> Yojson.Basic.t -> unit
val consume_in : IStdlib.IStd.In_channel.t -> unit

consume and ignore all the lines from the channel until End_of_file is reached

val echo_in : IStdlib.IStd.In_channel.t -> unit

echo the lines we get to stdout until End_of_file is reached

val with_channel_in : f:(string -> unit) -> IStdlib.IStd.In_channel.t -> unit
val with_process_in : string -> (IStdlib.IStd.In_channel.t -> 'a) -> 'a * IStdlib.IStd.Unix.Exit_or_signal.t
val create_dir : string -> unit

recursively create a directory if it does not exist already

val out_channel_create_with_dir : IStdlib.IStd.Filename.t -> IStdlib.IStd.Out_channel.t

create an out channel with creating missing directories

val realpath : ?⁠warn_on_error:bool -> string -> string

realpath warn_on_error path returns path with all symbolic links resolved. It caches results of previous calls to avoid expensive system calls. WARNING: If warn_on_error is false, no warning will be shown whenever an error occurs for the given path (e.g. if it does not exist).

val suppress_stderr2 : ('a -> 'b -> 'c) -> 'a -> 'b -> 'c

wraps a function expecting 2 arguments in another that temporarily redirects stderr to /dev/null for the duration of the function call

val rmtree : string -> unit

rmtree path removes path and, if path is a directory, recursively removes its contents

val try_finally_swallow_timeout : f:(unit -> 'a) -> finally:(unit -> unit) -> 'a

Calls f then finally even if f raised an exception. The original exception is reraised afterwards. Where possible use SymOp.try_finally to avoid swallowing timeouts.

val better_hash : 'a -> IStdlib.IStd.Caml.Digest.t

Hashtbl.hash only hashes the first 10 meaningful values, better_hash uses everything.

delete temporary file on exit

val strip_balanced_once : drop:(char -> bool) -> string -> string

drop at most one layer of well-balanced first and last characters satisfying drop from the string; for instance, strip_balanced ~drop:(function | 'a' | 'x' -> true | _ -> false) "xaabax" returns "aaba"

val assoc_of_yojson : Yojson.Basic.t -> src:string -> (string, Yojson.Basic.t) IStdlib.IStd.List.Assoc.t

Verify we have a json object (or empty list) and return the corresponding assoc list. Otherwise die with a message including src.

val string_of_yojson : Yojson.Basic.t -> src:string -> string

Verify we have a json string and return the corresponding ocaml string. Otherwise die with a message including src.

val string_list_of_yojson : Yojson.Basic.t -> src:string -> string list

Verify we have a json list of strings and return the corresponding ocaml string list. Otherwise die with a message including src.

val yojson_lookup : (string, Yojson.Basic.t) IStdlib.IStd.List.Assoc.t -> string -> src:string -> f:(Yojson.Basic.t -> src:string -> 'a) -> default:'a -> 'a

Lookup a json value on an assoc list. If not present, returns default. Otherwise returns (f json_value ~src) where src has element name appended. f is typically one of the above _of_yojson functions.

val timeit : f:(unit -> 'a) -> 'a * int

Returns the execution time of f in milliseconds together with its result

val do_in_dir : dir:string -> f:(unit -> 'a) -> 'a

executes f after cding into dir and then restores original cwd

val get_available_memory_MB : unit -> int option

On Linux systems, return Some x where MemAvailable x is in /proc/meminfo. Returns None in all other cases.

val iter_infer_deps : project_root:string -> f:(string -> unit) -> string -> unit

Parse each line of the given infer_deps.txt file (split on tabs, assume 3 elements per line) and run f on the third element. project_root is an argument to avoid dependency cycles.

val numcores : int
  • On Linux return the number of physical cores (sockets * cores per socket).
  • On Darwin and Windows returns half of the number of CPUs since most processors have 2 hardware threads per core.
val set_best_cpu_for : int -> unit

Pins processes to CPUs aiming to saturate physical cores evenly

val zip_fold_filenames : init:'a -> f:('a -> string -> 'a) -> zip_filename:string -> 'a

fold over each filename in the given zip_filename.
