The rb-tree library is based on the SML/NJ library implementation of red-black trees, which is in turn based on Chris Okasaki's implementation of red-black trees. The delete function is based on the description in Cormen, Leiserson, and Rivest.

The present implementation code defines a red-black tree object that implements an ordered dictionary mapping of keys to values. The object responds to a variety of query and update messages, including methods for finding the minimum and maximum keys and their associated values as well as traversing the tree in an ascending or descending order of keys. Looking up an arbitrary or the min/max keys, and deleting the min/max keys require no more key comparisons than the depth of the tree, which is O(log n) where n is the total number of keys in the tree.

The rb-tree object is created by procedure make-rb-tree, the only user-visible procedure defined in this egg:

procedure: make-rb-tree:: KEY-COMPARE-PROC -> SELECTOR

where KEY-COMPARE-PROC is a user-supplied function that takes two keys and returns a negative, positive, or zero number depending on how the first key compares to the second.

The returned selector procedure can take one of the following arguments:

'get returns a procedure LAMBDA KEY . DEFAULT-CLAUSE which searches the red-black tree for an association with a given KEY, and returns a (key . value) pair of the found association. If an association with KEY cannot be located in the red-black tree, the PROC returns the result of evaluating the DEFAULT-CLAUSE. If the default clause is omitted, an error is signalled. KEY must be comparable to the keys in the red-black tree by a key-compare predicate (which has been specified when the red-black tree was created)
'get-min returns a (key . value) pair for an association in the red-black tree with the smallest key. If the red-black tree is empty, an error is signalled.
'delete-min! removes the min key and the corresponding association from the red-black tree. Returns a (key . value) pair of the removed association. If the red-black tree is empty, an error is signalled.
'get-max returns a (key . value) pair for an association in the red-black tree with the largest key. If the red-black tree is empty, an error is signalled.
'delete-max! removes the max key and the corresponding association from the red-black tree. Returns a (key . value) pair of the removed association. If the red-black tree is empty, an error is signalled.
'empty? returns #t if the red-black tree is empty
'size returns the size (the number of associations) in the red-black tree
'depth returns the depth of the tree. It requires the complete traversal of the tree, so use sparingly
'clear! removes all associations from the red-black tree (thus making it empty)
'put! returns a procedure LAMBDA KEY VALUE which, given a KEY and a VALUE, adds the corresponding association to the red-black tree. If an association with the same KEY already exists, its value is replaced with the VALUE (and the old (key . value) association is returned). Otherwise, the return value is #f.
'put pure variant of PUT!; it returns a new red-black tree object that contains the given association, while the original red-black tree object is unmodified.
'delete! returns a procedure LAMBDA KEY . DEFAULT-CLAUSE which searches the red-black tree for an association with a given KEY, deletes it, and returns a (key . value) pair of the found and deleted association. If an association with the KEY cannot be located in the red-black tree, the PROC returns the result of evaluating DEFAULT-CLAUSE. If the default clause is omitted, an error is signalled.
'delete pure variant of DELETE!; if the specified key is found, it returns a new red-black tree object that no longer contains the association specified by that key, while the original red-black tree object is unmodified. If the key is not found, the behavior of this procedure is identical to DELETE!.
'for-each-ascending returns a procedure LAMBDA PROC that will apply the given procedure PROC to each (key . value) association of the red-black tree, from the one with the smallest key all the way to the one with the max key, in an ascending order of keys.
'for-each-descending returns a procedure LAMBDA PROC that will apply the given procedure PROCto each (key . value) association of the red-black tree, in the descending order of keys.
'map returns a procedure LAMBDA PROC that will apply the given procedure PROCto the value component of each association in the red-black tree, in the ascending order of keys, and will construct a copy of the tree that contains the values returned by that procedure.
'mapi returns a procedure LAMBDA PROC that will apply the given procedure PROCto each (key . value) association in the red-black tree, in the ascending order of keys, and will construct a copy of the tree that contains the values returned by that procedure.
'fold returns a procedure LAMBDA PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the descending order of keys: (key-n . value-n) ... (key-2 . value-2) (key-1 . value-1) the procedure returns the result of the successive function applications (PROC value-1 (PROC value-2 ... (PROC value-n INITIAL).
'foldi returns a procedure LAMBDA PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the descending order of keys: (key-n . value-n) ... (key-2 . value-2) (key-1 . value-1) the procedure returns the result of the successive function applications (PROC key-1 value-1 (PROC key-2 value-2 ... (PROC key-n value-n INITIAL).
'fold-right returns a procedure LAMBDA PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the ascending order of keys: (key-1 . value-1) (key-2 . value-2) ... (key-n . value-n) the procedure returns the result of the successive function applications (PROC value-n ... (PROC value-2 (PROC value-1 INITIAL).
'foldi-right returns a procedure LAMBDA PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the ascending order of keys: (key-1 . value-1) (key-2 . value-2) ... (key-n . value-n) the procedure returns the result of the successive function applications (PROC key-n value-n ... (PROC key-2 value-2 (PROC key-1 value-1 INITIAL).
'fold-partial returns a procedure LAMBDA PRED PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the descending order of keys: (key-n . value-n) ... (key-2 . value-2) (key-1 . value-1) the procedure returns the result of the successive function applications (PROC value-i ... (PROC value-n INITIAL), where i <= n and (PRED x) holds true for all x = (value-n) ... (value-i). In other words, this function acts like fold on the ordered subset of the values x in the tree such that (PRED x) is true.
'foldi-partial returns a procedure LAMBDA PRED PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the descending order of keys: (key-n . value-n) ...

(PROC key-n value-n INITIAL), where i <= n and (PRED xk x) holds true for all x = (value-n) ... (value-i) and xk = (key-n) ... (key-i). In other words, this function acts like foldi on the ordered subset of the key-value pairs (k . x) in the tree such that (PRED k x) is true.
'fold-right-partial returns a procedure LAMBDA PRED PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the ascending order of keys: (key-1 . value-1) (key-2 . value-2) ... (key-n . value-n) the procedure returns the result of the successive function applications (PROC value-1 ... (PROC value-i INITIAL), where i <= n and (PRED x) holds true for all x = (value-1) ...

'foldi-right-partial returns a procedure LAMBDA PRED PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the descending order of keys: (key-1 . value-1) (key-2 . value-2) ... (key-1 . value-1) the procedure returns the result of the successive function applications (PROC key-1 value-1 ... (PROC key-i value-i INITIAL), where i <= n and (PRED xk x) holds true for all x = (value-1) ... (value-i) and xk = (key-1) ... (key-i). In other words, this function acts like foldi-right on the ordered subset of the key-value pairs (k . x) in the tree such that (PRED k x) is true.
'fold-limit returns a procedure LAMBDA PRED PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the descending order of keys: (key-n . value-n) ... (key-2 . value-2) (key-1 . value-1) the procedure returns the result of the successive function applications (PROC value-i ... (PROC value-n INITIAL), where i <= n and (PRED x) does not hold true for all x = (PROC value-n INITIAL) ... (PROC (value-i) (PROC value-(i-1)....
'fold-right-limit returns a procedure LAMBDA PRED PROC INITIAL such that, given the associations in the tree ordered by the descending order of keys: (key-1 . value-1) (key-2 . value-2) ...
