Filtering-by-name
Functions for filtering lists of parsed objects by their names.
We implement functions for keeping and deleting objects by their
names, and also for partitioning lists of objects into named and unnamed
sub-lists.
These functions are logically simple, but we use MBE to make them fairly
efficient. In particular, suppose we want to keep, delete, or filter the list
x using some list of names.
- If there are only a few names, we use naive algorithm that calls member-equal repeatedly, and this is effectively O(|x|).
- When there are many names, we use make-lookup-alist to construct a
temporary, fast alist, and use fast-memberp to perform the lookups.
Assuming that hashing operations are constant time, constructing this table is
O(|names|), and the subsequent processing of x is O(|x|).
These functions preserve the order of the initial list. The order of
names is irrelevant, and any spurious names that aren't among the
names of x are simply ignored.
See also finding-by-name for related functions that can also be used
to look up objects by their names and to rearrange objects by their
names.
