oximedia-cache 0.1.7

//! Slab allocator for cache entries.
//!
//! Cache workloads often allocate and free many identically-sized objects
//! (e.g. fixed-size media segment headers, metadata records, or small frame
//! descriptors).  Standard heap allocators handle this correctly but can
//! suffer from fragmentation and per-object bookkeeping overhead when the
//! allocation rate is high.
//!
//! This module provides a single-type slab allocator that pre-allocates
//! contiguous slabs and hands out slots from a free-list.  When a slot is
//! freed it is returned to the free-list rather than returned to the system
//! allocator, making future allocations O(1) with minimal bookkeeping.
//!
//! # Design
//!
//! * Each **slab** is a `Vec<Slot<T>>` with `slab_capacity` slots.
//! * A slot is either `Occupied(T)` or `Free`.
//! * A global `free_list: VecDeque<SlabIndex>` keeps track of available
//!   slots across all slabs.
//! * When the free list is empty a new slab is allocated.
//! * Handles are `SlotHandle { slab: usize, index: usize }` and are used
//!   to retrieve or free a specific slot.
//!
//! # Limitations
//!
//! * Not thread-safe: wrap in `Mutex` / `RwLock` for concurrent use.
//! * Does **not** shrink the slab pool when utilisation drops; use
//!   [`compact`] to reclaim empty slabs.
//!
