//! `Uniform` encoding of integer arrays. Intended for cases where encoding and
//! decoding speed is desired, or the probability distribution of the entries
//! is uniform within certain bounds. Implemented for all primitive integer
//! types.
//!
//! This type targets encoding and decoding speed by performing minimal
//! transformations of the input array, and only subtracts the minimum value
//! from the entires. The result is that compression decays with the magnitude
//! of the difference between the largest and smallest entries.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use mayda::{Access, Encode, Uniform};
//!
//! let input: Vec<u32> = vec![1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7];
//! let mut bits = Uniform::new();
//! bits.encode(&input).unwrap();
//!
//! let length = bits.len();
//! assert_eq!(length, 6);
//!
//! let output = bits.decode();
//! assert_eq!(input, output);
//!
//! let value = bits.access(4);
//! assert_eq!(value, 5);
//!
//! let range = bits.access(1..4);
//! assert_eq!(range, vec![4, 2, 8]);
//! ```

/// The type of a uniform encoded integer array. Designed for moderate
/// compression and efficient decoding through the `Encode` trait, and
/// efficient random access through the `Access` and `AccessInto` traits.
///
/// Support is provided for arrays with as many as (2^37 - 2^7) entries, or
/// about 512 GiB of `u32`s. If your application requires more than that, you
/// should probably be designing your own data structure anyway.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use mayda::{Access, Encode, Uniform};
///
/// let input: Vec<u32> = vec![1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7];
/// let mut bits = Uniform::new();
/// bits.encode(&input).unwrap();
///
/// let length = bits.len();
/// assert_eq!(length, 6);
///
/// let output = bits.decode();
/// assert_eq!(input, output);
///
/// let value = bits.access(4);
/// assert_eq!(value, 5);
///
/// let range = bits.access(1..4);
/// assert_eq!(range, vec![4, 2, 8]);
/// ```
///
/// # Performance
///
/// Decoding does not allocate except for the return value, and decodes around
/// 16 GiB/s of decoded integers on difficult inputs. Encoding allocates `O(n)`
/// memory (`n` in the length of the array), and encodes around 4 GiB/s of
/// decoded integers. Run `cargo bench --bench uniform` for performance numbers
/// on your setup.
///
/// The performance (speed and compression) degrades gradually as the number of
/// integers falls below 128.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// As a general rule, you **should not** decode or access `Uniform` objects
/// from untrusted sources.
///
/// A `Uniform` object performs unsafe pointer operations during encoding and
/// decoding. Changing the header information with `mut_storage` can cause data
/// to be written to or read from arbitrary addresses in memory.
///
/// That said, the situation is the same for any of the data structures in the
/// standard library (consider the `set_len` method of a `Vec`).
