1//! High-Performance Lock-Free Concurrent Hash Map (FoldHash + resizable table).
2//!
3//! # Strategy
4//!
5//! 1. **FoldHash**: `foldhash::fast::FixedState` for fast, quality hashing.
6//! 2. **Resizable bucket table**: the bucket array lives in a single
7//!    allocation (header + inline buckets) swapped atomically on resize and
8//!    reclaimed through kovan. The map grows when the load factor exceeds
9//!    3/4 and shrinks below 1/4 (never under its initial capacity), the
10//!    same thresholds as `HopscotchMap`.
11//! 3. **Node layout**: `hash` and `next` side by side, so a walk passing a
12//!    node reads one cache line of it.
13//!
14//! # Architecture
15//! - **Table**: kovan-retired object holding the bucket array (atomic head
16//!   pointers) and its entry count. Readers snapshot the table under a guard
17//!   and never block.
18//! - **Chains**: singly linked, lock-free. Every change of the map's content
19//!   is one CAS on one link word (`node`): an insert links a new node at the
20//!   tail, a remove marks the node's own `next`, a replace marks it naming
21//!   the new node, which names the old successor. That CAS is the
22//!   operation's linearization point, and the answer the operation gives is
23//!   exact: `insert_if_absent` answers `None` exactly when its CAS linked
24//!   the key's node, and otherwise the value of the node it found live.
25//! - **Conditional writes** (`conditional`): their closure runs once, so
26//!   they hold the key's link word (a flag set by one CAS) while it runs and
27//!   then write the link with one store; every other writer's CAS fails on a
28//!   held link and walks again, readers never wait.
29//! - **Reclamation**: a node is retired only by the thread whose CAS unlinked
30//!   it, never while a table can reach it, and a walk steps past a deleted
31//!   node only after checking the link it came through still names it
32//!   (`walk`), so every node a walk reads is protected by its guard.
33//! - **Resize**: a single resizer (latch `resizing`) freezes every link of
34//!   the old table in chain order while it copies the live nodes, then
35//!   publishes the new table and retires the old one (`resize`). A write
36//!   whose CAS landed is final; a write that meets a frozen link waits for
37//!   the new table and writes there.
38//!
39//! The protocol is modelled in `proofs/tla/chained/ChainedMap.tla` and checked by TLC
40//! with every rule 0.1.20 had put back one at a time (`proofs/tla/chained/README.md`).
