MotokoStableBTree

https://forum.dfinity.org/t/icdevs-org-bounty-24-stablebtree-mokoko-up-to-10k/14867

Usage

  import BTree "mo:StableBTree/BTree"

  // Arbitrary use of (Nat32, Text) for (key, value) types
  let n32conv = BTree.n32conv;
  let tconv = BTree.tconv(64); // Max 16 characters
  stable let _btree = BTree.new<Nat32, Text>(n32conv, tconv);

  let old = BTree.put(_btree, n32conv, 0, tconv, "hello");
  let new = BTree.get(_btree, n32conv, 0, tconv);
  let size = BTree.size(_btree);

  assert Option.isNull(old);
  assert Option.isSome(new);
  assert size == 1;

For further examples see singleBTree.mo and multipleBTrees.mo in the test/integration directory.

Limitations

  • At the moment there is no way to test that a function successfully traps, so these tests are commented out.
  • The generation of documentation fails with Fatal error: exception (Invalid_argument "index out of bounds").
  • The current implementation uses the Big Endian byte order for all the serialization/deserialization. At the time of writing (2022/11/24), the Rust BTree implementation still uses some little endian (to convert size of keys/values in the node, and possibly for other structs via the use of core::slice::from_raw_parts). Hence the memory representations of the BTree in Motoko and Rust are NOT the same, i.e. it is not possible to load a BTree in Motoko that has been saved in Rust and vice-versa.
