//! User-defined MPI reduction operations via [`MPI_Op_create`].
//!
//! This module provides [`UserOp<T>`], a safe wrapper around a user-supplied
//! Rust closure that MPI invokes during reduction collectives
//! (`MPI_Reduce`, `MPI_Allreduce`, `MPI_Scan`, etc.).
//!
//! ## Safety model
//!
//! The closure must satisfy `Send + Sync + 'static`:
//!
//! * **`Send`** — the closure is moved into a static slot table accessible from
//!   any thread (MPI may call it from an internal thread pool).
//! * **`Sync`** — under `MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE`, the same op may be invoked
//!   concurrently from several threads.
//! * **`'static`** — the closure is held until `MPI_Op_free` returns, which may
//!   be much later than the call site.
//!
//! ## Panic behaviour
//!
//! **A panic inside the closure aborts the process immediately.**
//!
//! Panicking across a C FFI boundary is undefined behaviour; there is no
//! mechanism for MPI to propagate or observe a Rust panic.  The trampoline
//! wraps every closure call in [`std::panic::catch_unwind`]: on `Err` it calls
//! [`std::process::abort`] before the panic can reach the C frame.  Treat a
//! panic inside a reduction closure as a fatal programming error.
//!
//! ## Slot-table limit
//!
//! The implementation supports at most **16** concurrently live `UserOp`
//! instances per process.  Attempting to create a seventeenth returns
//! [`Error::Mpi`] with class `Other`.
//!
//! ## `compile_fail` doctest — `Send + Sync` bound
//!
//! ```compile_fail
//! use ferrompi::UserOp;
//! let local = std::rc::Rc::new(0i32);
//! let op = UserOp::new(move |_a: &[f64], _b: &mut [f64]| {
//!     let _ = local.clone();
//! });
//! ```

// ============================================================================
// Static closure registry
//
// Each slot holds a byte-level closure adapter.  The adapter is a
// `Box<dyn Fn(&[u8], &mut [u8]) + Send + Sync + 'static>` constructed in
// `UserOp::new_impl` from the caller's typed `Fn(&[T], &mut [T])` by wrapping
// it in a byte-reinterpreting adapter closure.
//
// OnceLock is used so that each slot can be written exactly once and read many
// times concurrently, without requiring a Mutex.  Dropping the UserOp must
// reconstruct the Box from the raw pointer rather than going through OnceLock
// again (OnceLock does not expose a reset path); see `ferrompi_op_drop_closure`.
// ============================================================================

/// Per-slot registry of raw fat-pointer halves.
///
/// We cannot store `Box<dyn Fn(...)>` in a static array of `OnceLock` because
/// statics require `const`-initializable values and `OnceLock::new()` is
/// `const`-stable only from Rust 1.70+, but more importantly we need to be
/// able to reconstruct and drop the `Box` from `ferrompi_op_drop_closure`,
/// which is called from C and cannot go through the OnceLock API.
///
/// The chosen approach: store the two halves of the fat pointer (`*mut ()` data
/// and `*mut ()` vtable) as atomic raw pointers.  We encode "unset" as null and
/// "set" as non-null.  The fat pointer is stored atomically so that concurrent
/// reads from MPI threads are data-race-free (Relaxed load is sufficient since
/// the store in `new_impl` happens-before any MPI invocation of the trampoline —
/// MPI_Op_create establishes that ordering).
///
/// In practice the registry data and vtable are written once (in `new_impl`)
/// and then only read (in `rust_user_op_invoke`) or reset to null (in
/// `ferrompi_op_drop_closure`). We use `AtomicPtr` with `Relaxed` ordering
/// because:
///   * The store in `new_impl` is sequenced before `MPI_Op_create` which is the
///     happens-before anchor for all subsequent MPI trampoline calls.
///   * `ferrompi_op_drop_closure` is called from `ferrompi_op_free` which is
///     called only after `MPI_Op_free` returns — MPI guarantees no further
///     trampoline calls after that point.
