use crate::traits::Grow;

/// A vectorized counter that can only grow
///
/// # Panics
///
/// Any function involving two or more `GCounter`s (viz. `le` and `merge`) will panic (via
/// `assert_eq!`) if their counts vectors are not the same length. I'd prefer to check this at
/// compile time (as much as possible) instead, but
///
/// - avoiding C++'s template mess is part of what makes Rust great
/// - Rust doesn't have [const generics](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2000-const-generics.html)
/// yet
/// - this library is meant to be as simple and expository as possible, so I'd like to avoid
/// fancier things like [`generic_array`](https://docs.rs/generic-array/0.14.4/generic_array/)
///
/// As mentioned above, operations panic when trying dealing with two or more `GCounter`s of
/// incompatible sizes:
///
/// ```should_panic
/// // this will panic
/// use cvrdt_exposition::{GCounter, Grow};
/// let x = GCounter::new((0, vec![0]));
/// let y = GCounter::new((1, vec![0, 0]));
/// x.merge(&y);
/// ```
///
/// # Difference from references
///
/// In the [comprehensive study paper](https://hal.inria.fr/inria-00555588/) and the [Wikipedia
/// article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type), the vectorized
/// `GCounter` presumes a local `myID()` function that tells our local `GCounter` the index to
/// update in its counts array. This detail isn't necessary for understanding how their pseudocode
/// works, but it _is_ required if you're trying to implement a `GCounter` in real code. As such,
/// we explicitly include the `id` as a member of our `GCounter` struct, and make the _arbitrary_
/// choice that when merging two `GCounter`s, we take the minimum of their two `id`s as the new
/// one.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Example usage, including demonstrating some properties:
///
/// ```
/// use cvrdt_exposition::{GCounter, Grow};
/// let mut x = GCounter::new((0, vec![0; 3]));
/// x.add(());
/// assert_eq!(x.payload(), (0, vec![1, 0, 0]));
/// assert_eq!(x.query(&()), 1);
/// let mut y = GCounter::new((1, vec![0; 3]));
/// y.add(());
/// y.add(());
/// assert_eq!(x.merge(&y).payload(), (0, vec![1, 2, 0]));
/// let z = GCounter::new((2, vec![0, 0, 3]));
/// assert!(x.le(&x.merge(&y).merge(&z)));
/// assert_eq!(x.merge(&y).merge(&z).payload(), (0, vec![1, 2, 3]));
/// assert_eq!(x.merge(&y.merge(&z)).payload(), x.merge(&y).merge(&z).payload());
/// ```
