text.rs

1//! Fixed-width text cells: the string arena beside the scalar table.
2//!
3//! A text cell holds up to [`CELL_TEXT_MAX`] bytes of UTF-8 in shared memory.
4//! Sixty-four bits can be swapped in one instruction; a string cannot, so a
5//! cell is a seqlock: writers take the cell's own spin bit and bump a version
6//! around their write, readers copy and accept the copy only if the version
7//! held still. Readers never block writers and never see a torn string.
