-- This unit provides a simple add-to-the-end buffer implemetation.

import List;

-- Creates an empty buffer
public fun emptyBuffer () {
  {}
}

-- Creates a buffer with one element x
public fun singletonBuffer (x) {
  var y = {x};

  [y, y]
}  

-- Creates a buffer from a list x
public fun listBuffer (x) {
  foldl (addBuffer, emptyBuffer (), x)
}

-- Adds x to the end of buffer buf
public fun addBuffer (buf, x) {
  case buf of
    {} -> var y = {x};
          [y, y]          
  | [head, last] ->
          last[1] := {x};
          [head, last[1]]
  esac
}

-- Adds the contents of buffer x to the end of buffer buf
public fun concatBuffer (buf, x) {
  case buf of
    {}           -> x
  | [head, last] ->
       case x of
         {}     -> buf
       | [h, l] ->
           last[1] := h;
           [head, l]
       esac
  esac
}

-- Infix synonym for concatBuffer
public infixl <+> before + (b1, b2) {
  concatBuffer (b1, b2)
}

-- Infix synonym for addBuffer
public infix <+ at <+> (b, x) {
  addBuffer (b, x)
}

-- Gets the contents of the buffer buf (as a list)
public fun getBuffer (buf) {
  case buf of
    {}        -> {}
  | [head, _] -> head
  esac
}
