//! A thread-safe, compressed vector of integers with fixed-width encoding.
//!
//! This module provides [`AtomicFixedVec`], a data structure that behaves like
//! [`FixedVec`] but allows for concurrent access and
//! modification from multiple threads. It is designed for scenarios where a
//! large collection of integers must be shared and mutated in a parallel
//! environment.
//!
//! All operations that modify the vector's contents are implemented using
//! atomic instructions (e.g., compare-and-swap loops), ensuring thread safety
//! without requiring a global lock.
//!
//! # Atomicity Guarantees and Locking
//!
//! The atomicity of operations depends on the configured `bit_width`.
//!
//! - **Power-of-Two `bit_width`**: When the `bit_width` is a power of two
//!   (e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16, 32), and it evenly divides the 64-bit word size,
//!   most operations can be performed with lock-free atomic instructions.
//!   This is because each element is guaranteed to be fully contained within a
//!   single [`AtomicU64`] word.
//!
//! - **Non-Power-of-Two `bit_width`**: When the `bit_width` is not a power of
//!   two, an element's value may span across the boundary of two [`AtomicU64`]
//!   words. Modifying such an element requires updating two words simultaneously,
//!   which cannot be done in a single atomic hardware instruction.
//!
//! To handle this case, [`AtomicFixedVec`] uses a technique called _lock striping_.
//! It maintains a pool of [`parking_lot::Mutex`] locks. When an operation needs
//! to modify a value that spans two words, it acquires a lock for that specific
//! memory region. This ensures that the two-word update is itself atomic with
//! respect to other threads, while still allowing concurrent operations on
//! different parts of the vector. This approach avoids a single global lock,
//! preserving a high degree of parallelism.
//!
//! > Future version may introduce a more sophisticated locking strategy
//!
//! ### Performance Considerations
//!
//! The trade-off is between memory compactness and performance. While a
//! non-power-of-two `bit_width` provides the most space-efficient storage,
//! it may incur a performance overhead for write operations that span word
//! boundaries due to locking.
//!
//! For write-heavy, performance-critical workloads, choosing a power-of-two
//! `bit_width` (e.g., by using [`BitWidth::PowerOfTwo`]) is recommended to
//! ensure all operations remain lock-free.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ## Basic Usage
//!
//! ```
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! use compressed_intvec::prelude::*;
//! use compressed_intvec::fixed::{AtomicFixedVec, UAtomicFixedVec};
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use std::thread;
//! use std::sync::atomic::Ordering;
//!
//! // Create from a slice using the builder.
//! let initial_data: Vec<u32> = vec![10, 20, 30, 40];
//! let atomic_vec: Arc<UAtomicFixedVec<u32>> = Arc::new(
//!     AtomicFixedVec::builder()
//!         .build(&initial_data)?
//! );
//!
//! // Share the vector across threads.
//! let mut handles = vec![];
//! for i in 0..4 {
//!     let vec_clone = Arc::clone(&atomic_vec);
//!     handles.push(thread::spawn(move || {
//!         // Each thread atomically updates its own slot.
//!         vec_clone.store(i, 63, Ordering::SeqCst);
//!     }));
//! }
//! for handle in handles {
//!     handle.join().unwrap();
//! }
//! assert_eq!(atomic_vec.load(3, Ordering::SeqCst), 63);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Storing Signed Integers
//!
//! [`AtomicFixedVec`] can also store signed integers. The underlying [`Storable`]
//! trait uses zig-zag encoding to store signed values efficiently, so that
//! small negative numbers require few bits, just like small positive numbers.
//!
//! ```
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! use compressed_intvec::prelude::*;
//! use compressed_intvec::fixed::{AtomicFixedVec, SAtomicFixedVec};
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use std::sync::atomic::Ordering;
//!
//! // The values range from -2 to 1. To also store -3 later, we need 3 bits.
//! let initial_data: Vec<i16> = vec![-2, -1, 0, 1];
//! let atomic_vec: Arc<SAtomicFixedVec<i16>> = Arc::new(
//!     AtomicFixedVec::builder()
//!         .bit_width(BitWidth::Explicit(3)) // Explicitly set bit width
//!         .build(&initial_data)?
//! );
//!
//! assert_eq!(atomic_vec.bit_width(), 3);
//! assert_eq!(atomic_vec.load(0, Ordering::SeqCst), -2);
//!
//! // Atomically update a value.
//! atomic_vec.store(0, -3, Ordering::SeqCst);
//! assert_eq!(atomic_vec.load(0, Ordering::SeqCst), -3);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! //! ## Parallel Iteration
//!
//! When the `parallel` feature is enabled (by default is enabled), you can use [`par_iter`](AtomicFixedVec::par_iter) to process
//! the vector's elements concurrently.
//!
//! ```
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! # #[cfg(feature = "parallel")] {
//! use compressed_intvec::prelude::*;
//! use compressed_intvec::fixed::{AtomicFixedVec, UAtomicFixedVec};
//! use rayon::prelude::*;
//!
//! let data: Vec<u32> = (0..10_000).collect();
//! let vec: UAtomicFixedVec<u32> = AtomicFixedVec::builder()
//!     .build(&data)?;
//!
//! // Use the parallel iterator to find the sum of all even numbers.
//! let sum_of_evens: u32 = vec.par_iter()
//!     .filter(|&x| x % 2 == 0)
//!     .sum();
//!
//! let expected_sum: u32 = (0..10_000).filter(|&x| x % 2 == 0).sum();
//! assert_eq!(sum_of_evens, expected_sum);
//! # }
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ### Memory Ordering and Locking
//!
//! The memory [`Ordering`] specified in methods like [`load`](AtomicFixedVec::load), [`store`](AtomicFixedVec::store), or
//! [`fetch_add`](AtomicFixedVec::fetch_add) is always respected, but its interaction with the internal locking
//! mechanism is important to understand.
//!
//! -   **Lock-Free Path**: When an element is fully contained within a single
//!     [`u64`] word, the specified [`Ordering`] is applied directly to the underlying
//!     atomic instructions, providing the standard guarantees described in the
//!     Rust documentation.
//!
//! -   **Locked Path**: When an element spans two [`u64`] words, a fine-grained
//!     mutex is acquired. This lock ensures that the two-word operation is
//!     atomic with respect to other locked operations on the same memory region.
//!     The specified [`Ordering`] is then applied to the atomic writes performed
//!     within the locked critical section. This guarantees that the effects of
//!     the operation become visible to other threads according to the chosen
//!     ordering, but the visibility is still mediated by the mutual exclusion
//!     provided by the lock.
//!
