[swift-evolution] zip3, zip4, ...

[Donnacha Oisín Kidney]

An implementation of this is actually pretty complicated, since you aren’t supposed to call a generator once it’s returned nil.

public struct NilPaddedZipGenerator<G0: GeneratorType, G1: GeneratorType> : GeneratorType {
  
  private var (g0, g1): (G0?, G1?)
  
  public mutating func next() -> (G0.Element?, G1.Element?)? {
    let (e0,e1) = (g0?.next(),g1?.next())
    switch (e0,e1) {
    case (nil,nil): return nil
    case (  _,nil): g1 = nil
    case (nil,  _): g0 = nil
    default: break
    }
    return (e0,e1)
  }
}

public struct NilPaddedZip<S0: SequenceType, S1: SequenceType> : LazySequenceType {
  
  private let (s0, s1): (S0, S1)
  public func generate() -> NilPaddedZipGenerator<S0.Generator, S1.Generator> {
    return NilPaddedZipGenerator(g0: s0.generate(), g1: s1.generate())
  }
}

@warn_unused_result
public func zipWithPadding<S0: SequenceType, S1: SequenceType>(s0: S0, _ s1: S1)
  -> NilPaddedZip<S0, S1> {
    return NilPaddedZip(s0: s0, s1: s1)
}
