conversion from and to hash tables

This page is part of the web mail archives of SRFI 69 from before July 7th, 2015. The new archives for SRFI 69 contain all messages, not just those from before July 7th, 2015.



list->hash-table:

Why is sizehint missing?
Should not list->hash-table accept all arguments listed
at make-hash-table?
Another approach would be to allow list->hash-table
to work only on an existing hash table.
(But then the name should probably be changed.)

There is a short discussion whether the list elements
are (key . val) or (key val).
Given this and your choice (key . val),
I would propose to change the name to something like:
alist->hash-table


hash-table->list:

rename to hash-table->alist (see above)


hash-table->vector, vector->hash-table:
Should these functions be added to this SRFI?


Just to be sure this overview of "pre-SRFI-69 implementations" is mentioned once:
