//! `CustomAttribute` table loader implementation.
//!
//! This module provides the [`crate::metadata::tables::customattribute::loader::CustomAttributeLoader`]
//! implementation for loading `CustomAttribute` metadata from the ECMA-335 `CustomAttribute` table (0x0C).
//! The loader processes custom attribute instances that decorate metadata elements with additional
//! compile-time information, integrating this data with existing metadata entries.
//!
//! # Architecture
//!
//! The loader follows the standard metadata loading pattern, implementing the
//! [`crate::metadata::loader::MetadataLoader`] trait to process table data and integrate
//! custom attribute instances with previously loaded metadata elements across all table types.
//!
//! # Key Components
//!
//! - [`crate::metadata::tables::customattribute::loader::CustomAttributeLoader`] - Main loader implementation
//! - [`crate::metadata::tables::customattribute::CustomAttributeRaw`] - Raw table row structure
//! - [`crate::metadata::loader::LoaderContext`] - Context for loading operations
//!
//! # Table Structure
//!
//! The `CustomAttribute` table contains zero or more rows that associate attributes with metadata elements:
//! - **Parent**: Coded index referencing the metadata element decorated with the attribute
//! - **Type**: Coded index referencing the attribute constructor (`MethodDef` or `MemberRef`)
//! - **Value**: Blob heap reference containing the serialized attribute arguments
//!
//! # Custom Attribute Processing
//!
//! Custom attributes provide extensible metadata decoration throughout .NET assemblies:
//! - **Attribute constructors**: Resolution of constructor methods that define attribute structure
//! - **Argument serialization**: Decoding of serialized attribute constructor and property arguments
//! - **Target validation**: Ensuring attributes are applicable to their target metadata elements
//! - **Reflection support**: Providing runtime access to attribute data and metadata
//!
//! # Dependencies
//!
//! This loader depends on virtually all other metadata tables being loaded first, as custom
//! attributes can be applied to almost any metadata element type.
//!
//! # Integration
//!
//! This module integrates with:
//! - [`crate::metadata::loader`] - Core metadata loading infrastructure
//! - [`crate::metadata::tables`] - All metadata table types for attribute targets
//! - [`crate::metadata::streams::Blob`] - Blob heap for attribute data
//! - [`crate::metadata::tables::customattribute`] - `CustomAttribute` table types
//!
//! # Thread Safety
//!
//! The loader is thread-safe and uses parallel iteration for performance when processing
//! multiple `CustomAttribute` entries. Updates to target elements are handled through
//! atomic operations.
//!
//! # References
//!
//! - [ECMA-335 II.22.10](https://ecma-international.org/wp-content/uploads/ECMA-335_6th_edition_june_2012.pdf) - `CustomAttribute` table specification
use crate::;
/// Loader for the `CustomAttribute` metadata table
///
/// Implements [`crate::metadata::loader::MetadataLoader`] to process the `CustomAttribute` table (0x0C)
/// which contains custom attribute instances applied to various metadata elements. Custom attributes
/// provide extensible metadata decoration throughout .NET assemblies.
///
/// # Attribute Processing
///
/// The loader handles various custom attribute scenarios:
/// - **Built-in attributes**: System attributes like `[Obsolete]`, `[Serializable]`, etc.
/// - **User-defined attributes**: Custom attribute classes defined within the assembly
/// - **Framework attributes**: Attributes from external assemblies and the Base Class Library
/// - **Compiler attributes**: Attributes generated by language compilers for metadata
///
/// # Thread Safety
///
/// This type is [`Send`] and [`Sync`] as it contains no mutable state and all operations
/// are read-only during the metadata loading phase. The loader uses parallel iteration
/// for performance when processing multiple `CustomAttribute` entries.
