README

This repository contains a Van Emde Boas tree written in D. It operates on unique integer keys.

See

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Emde_Boas_tree

and

Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford Stein. Introduction to Algorithms, Third Edition. MIT Press, 2009. ISBN 978-0-262-53305-8. Chapter 20: The van Emde Boas tree, pp. 531–560.

The idea of bit operations at leaf level was taken from the C++ implementation found at http://www.keithschwarz.com/interesting/code/van-emde-boas-tree/

Example usage:

import vebtree; 

enum baseSize(T : A!s, alias A, int s) = s;

void main()
{
    import std.random : unpredictableSeed, uniform; 
    
    /*
    The creation could be long, if number generated by unpredictableSeed is large, 
    but the example works even for (1UL << 32) - 1
    */
    auto root = vebRoot(unpredictableSeed); // create the tree structure. 
    const rndNum = uniform(0, root.universe); // ... and some data

    import std.math : nextPow2; 
    assert(root.capacity == (root.universe - 1).nextPow2);

    root.insert(rndNum); 
    assert(root.prev(rndNum) == size_t.max); 
    assert(root.next(rndNum) == size_t.max); 
    assert(root.front == root.back); 
    assert(root.length == 1); 
    auto root2 = root.dup; 
    root2.remove(rndNum); 
    assert(root2.empty); 
    assert(root2.length == 0); 
    assert(rndNum in root); 
    assert(root == root()); 
    assert(root[].front == 0); 
    assert(root[].back == root.universe); 
    
    import std.range : isBidirectionalRange; 
    static assert(isBidirectionalRange!(typeof(root[])));

    root.universe < baseSize!(typeof(root)) ? assert(root.isLeaf) : assert(!root.isLeaf);
    foreach(el; root) assert(el == rndNum);     
}

An evaluation of the library shows very good performace compared to the Phobos Red-Black tree and the TTree of EMSI containers.

The tree can be expanded to contain all key up to uint max. The construction lasts appropriate time for this, however, all operations remain fast.
