This patch adds cl-seq-equal to test whether two lists have the 
same elements. I.e., if every element of LIST1 also appears in 
LIST2 and if every element of LIST2 also appears in LIST1.

Common Lisp (and the Emacs emulation) already has set
functions that do this - `[cl-]set-exclusive-or', for
example.

are you saying that (1) I should propose an implementation of 
set-equal based on set-exclusive-or (I guess it's just a `not` 
call away) or (2) not propose set-equal all together? I understand 
(1), but not the reasoning behind (2).

I'm just pointing out that a function we already have,
and one that is used more widely by users of Common
Lisp, does the same thing - unless I'm missing something.

If people think that some users might not think to use
`set-exclusive-or' to test set equality then we could
add a `set-equal' function.  Common Lisp didn't think
so, and neither do I, but I wouldn't oppose adding it.

If we do add it, I'd imagine that the implementation
should be the same (adding `not', as you say), for
clarity and consistency - unless other things are not
equal for some reason (i.e., unless there is a good
reason not to use the existing implementation).

In sum, I don't oppose adding it.  I'm just pointing
out that we already have it, in another form.

I agree (except that one has opposite result).

At least I didn't think about using exclusive-or. Searching for 
"equal" or "same elements" in the info page (info "(cl) Lists as 
Sets") didn't help.

I updated the patch.

This is admittedly bikeshedding, for which I apologize, but I'd like to
mention the possibility of adding this to `seq' as an alternative to
adding it to `cl-lib'.

My two arguments for adding it to `seq' are:
  - This function doesn't exist in Common Lisp, so `cl-lib' seems like
    a somewhat arbitrary place for it, other than that its
    implementation uses `cl-set-exclusive-or'.
  - It could use seq.el's type dispatch

As a downside, (besides the fact that the patch adding it to `cl-lib' is
already available), `seq' doesn't have a direct equivalent to
`cl-set-exclusive-or', so adding it to `seq' is more work.

        John

Maybe there is a good reason not to use the existing fn.

I didn't check the patch or the implementation of
`cl-set-exclusive-or', but that function is designed not
just to test for equality but also to return the list (set)
of elements that are in only one of the argument lists.

A naive guess is that when the sets are unequal this would
be slower than just a check for equality.  You might want
to take a look.  If that's the case then a simple equality
implementation would be better (e.g. throw to a catch as
soon as we know they are unequal).

Agreed.  This is not Common Lisp emulation.  It does not
belong in a cl*.el library and should not have the `cl-'
prefix.

I'd also put it in seq.el, I think it's the place where it makes the
most sense.

it makes sense and I will try this way. Nevertheless, it also 
means giving up on the :key feature. I guess it's ok.

What do you think about the following instead?

  Return non-nil if SEQUENCE1 and SEQUENCE2 contain the same elements,
  regardless of the order.

OTOH I see no reason not to support it.  There is no reason to provide a
function in a library specializing on sequences with less features than
in some other lib.  Just my personal opinion.  Of course you can get the
effect of :key by adopting the TESTFN, but also note my other comment:

> here it is. Any feedback? 

It might be worth it to try to optimize things a bit for the most usual
TESTFNs `eq' and `equal'.  For example, try

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((s1 (number-sequence 1 10000))
      (s2 (number-sequence 1 10000)))
  (seq-set-equal s1 s2))
#+end_src

vs.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((s1 (number-sequence 1 10000))
      (s2 (number-sequence 1 10000)))
  (seq-set-equal-2 s1 s2))
#+end_src

with this implementation using hash-tables:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun seq-set-equal-2 (sequence1 sequence2)
  (let ((table1 (make-hash-table :size (length sequence1)))
        (table2 (make-hash-table :size (length sequence2))))
    (seq-doseq (elt sequence1) (puthash elt t table1))
    (seq-doseq (elt sequence2) (puthash elt t table2))
    (and (seq-every-p (lambda (elt) (gethash elt table2)) sequence1)
         (seq-every-p (lambda (elt) (gethash elt table1)) sequence2))))
#+end_src

I guess other functions in seq.el could be optimized as well,
e.g. `seq-difference'.


Regards,

Michael.

I agree with you that having :key would be nice. Nevertheless, my 
implementation currently relies on functions of seq.el (i.e., 
seq-contains) which would have to be adapted to support :key. I 
didn't want to do that.

> #+end_src 

as far as I can tell, little effort has been put in optimizing 
seq.el the way you describe it so I guess such an implementation 
of seq-set-equal would feel a bit alien in the current code 
base. Moreover, is your implementation faster on very small sets? 
Finally, making your implementation of seq-set-equal accepting a 
TESTFN parameter would be a bit complex as you would have to pass 
that to `make-hash-table` which also requires a hash function.

Thanks!

I installed your patch in Emacs and ELPA.

Cheers,

Probably not.  It was just a demonstration.

Yes, we would have to limit TESTFN to functions that are implemented as
hash table test functions.

I took the idea from `delete-dups' btw, which is optimized with hash
tables for large lists.  We allow arbitrary TESTFNs in
`seq-set-equal-p', though, in practice and with :key functions allowed,
I would expect that supporting `eq' and `equal' would cover most use
cases.  For the rest, we could still fall back to the current
implementation.
