我不认为您可以通过引用将哈希表传递给普通 lisp 中的另一个哈希表。但是我有一个想法是如何避免复制整个哈希表,但通过一次调用获得结果是使用默认值参数位置gethash
。
(gethash key ht default-value)
返回给定的默认值,当.key
中不存在时ht
。
;; prepare three example hash-tables, where *h3* and *h2* gets the additional keys
;; and if a key is not present in *h3*, one should look up in *h2*, and if not there too, in *h1*.
(defparameter *h1* (make-hash-table))
(setf (gethash 'a *h1*) 1)
(setf (gethash 'b *h1*) 2)
(setf (gethash 'c *h1*) 3)
(defparameter *h2* (make-hash-table))
(setf (gethash 'd *h2*) 4)
(setf (gethash 'e *h2*) 5)
(defparameter *h3* (make-hash-table))
(setf (gethash 'f *h3*) 6)
;; the call
(gethash 'a *h3* (gethash 'a *h2* (gethash 'a *h1*)))
;; would give the desired result `1`.
;; let us assume, there is a chain of hash-tables *hk* *h(k-1)* ... *h2* *h1*
;; in which one should look up into that order.
;; Then it is to us to build the code
;; (gethash 'a *hk* (gethash 'a *h(k-1)* ...(gethash 'a *h2* (gethash 'a *h1*))...))
;; automatically for every lookup.
;; this macro does it:
(defmacro mget (key hash-tables-list)
(flet ((inject-last (e1 e2) `(,@e1 ,e2)))
(reduce #'inject-last
(mapcar (lambda (ht) `(gethash ,key ,ht))
(nreverse hash-tables-list)))))
;; let's see its macroexpansion:
(macroexpand-1 '(mget 'a (*h3* *h2* *h1*)))
;; (GETHASH 'A *H3* (GETHASH 'A *H2* (GETHASH 'A *H1*))) ;
;; T
;; and run the code:
(mget 'a (*h2* *h1*))
;; 1 ;
;; NIL
可以附加信息,这些信息是要在哈希表对象中查看的下一个哈希表。甚至自动生成列表(*h3* *h2* *h1*)
,以便一个人只写
(gethash* key ht)
然后调用mget
......
好吧,当然,通过所有这些,哈希访问速度变慢了。
这是复制整个哈希表或在每次调用时支付性能成本之间的权衡......
自动查找扩展的哈希表*h3*
(setf (get '*h3* 'extendeds) '(*h2* *h1*))
(setf (get '*h2* 'extendeds) '(*h1*))
(defun collect-extendeds (hts)
(let ((res (loop for ht in hts
nconcing (get ht 'extendeds))))
(remove-duplicates res)))
;; this function can recursively retrieve all hashtables
(defun get-extendeds* (hts &optional (acc '()))
(let ((hts (if (listp hts) hts (list hts))))
(let ((nexts (collect-extendeds hts)))
(cond ((every #'null nexts) (nreverse (remove-duplicates (append hts acc))))
(t (get-extendeds* nexts (remove-duplicates (append hts acc))))))))
;; write a macro to retrieve key's value from all downstream hashtables
(defmacro geth (key ht)
`(mget ,key ,(get-extendeds* ht)))
(geth 'a *h3*)
;; 1 ;
;; NIL ;; NIL because it was not in *h3* directly but in one of the hashtables
;; which it extends.
;; problem is if 'NIL is a value of an existing key,
;; one would still get 'NIL NIL.
