      5 // DESCRIPTION
      6 //
      7 // SparseArray<T>(m) is a map from integers in [0, m) to T values.
      8 // It requires (sizeof(T)+sizeof(int))*m memory, but it provides
      9 // fast iteration through the elements in the array and fast clearing
     10 // of the array.  The array has a concept of certain elements being
     11 // uninitialized (having no value).
     12 //
     13 // Insertion and deletion are constant time operations.
     14 //
     15 // Allocating the array is a constant time operation
     16 // when memory allocation is a constant time operation.
     17 //
     18 // Clearing the array is a constant time operation (unusual!).
     19 //
     20 // Iterating through the array is an O(n) operation, where n
     21 // is the number of items in the array (not O(m)).
     22 //
     23 // The array iterator visits entries in the order they were first
     24 // inserted into the array.  It is safe to add items to the array while
     25 // using an iterator: the iterator will visit indices added to the array
     26 // during the iteration, but will not re-visit indices whose values
     27 // change after visiting.  Thus SparseArray can be a convenient
     28 // implementation of a work queue.
     29 //
     30 // The SparseArray implementation is NOT thread-safe.  It is up to the
     31 // caller to make sure only one thread is accessing the array.  (Typically
     32 // these arrays are temporary values and used in situations where speed is
     33 // important.)
     34 //
     35 // The SparseArray interface does not present all the usual STL bells and
     36 // whistles.
     37 //
     38 // Implemented with reference to Briggs & Torczon, An Efficient
     39 // Representation for Sparse Sets, ACM Letters on Programming Languages
     40 // and Systems, Volume 2, Issue 1-4 (March-Dec.  1993), pp.  59-69.
     41 //
     42 // Briggs & Torczon popularized this technique, but it had been known
     43 // long before their paper.  They point out that Aho, Hopcroft, and
     44 // Ullman's 1974 Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms and Bentley's
     45 // 1986 Programming Pearls both hint at the technique in exercises to the
     46 // reader (in Aho & Hopcroft, exercise 2.12; in Bentley, column 1
     47 // exercise 8).
     48 //
     49 // Briggs & Torczon describe a sparse set implementation.  I have
     50 // trivially generalized it to create a sparse array (actually the original
     51 // target of the AHU and Bentley exercises).
     52 
     53 // IMPLEMENTATION
     54 //
     55 // SparseArray uses a vector dense_ and an array sparse_to_dense_, both of
     56 // size max_size_. At any point, the number of elements in the sparse array is
     57 // size_.
     58 //
     59 // The vector dense_ contains the size_ elements in the sparse array (with
     60 // their indices),
     61 // in the order that the elements were first inserted.  This array is dense:
     62 // the size_ pairs are dense_[0] through dense_[size_-1].
     63 //
     64 // The array sparse_to_dense_ maps from indices in [0,m) to indices in
     65 // [0,size_).
     66 // For indices present in the array, dense_[sparse_to_dense_[i]].index_ == i.
     67 // For indices not present in the array, sparse_to_dense_ can contain
     68 // any value at all, perhaps outside the range [0, size_) but perhaps not.
     69 //
     70 // The lax requirement on sparse_to_dense_ values makes clearing
     71 // the array very easy: set size_ to 0.  Lookups are slightly more
     72 // complicated.  An index i has a value in the array if and only if:
     73 //   sparse_to_dense_[i] is in [0, size_) AND
     74 //   dense_[sparse_to_dense_[i]].index_ == i.
     75 // If both these properties hold, only then it is safe to refer to
     76 //   dense_[sparse_to_dense_[i]].value_
     77 // as the value associated with index i.
     78 //
     79 // To insert a new entry, set sparse_to_dense_[i] to size_,
     80 // initialize dense_[size_], and then increment size_.
     81 //
     82 // Deletion of specific values from the array is implemented by
     83 // swapping dense_[size_-1] and the dense_ being deleted and then
     84 // updating the appropriate sparse_to_dense_ entries.
     85 //
     86 // To make the sparse array as efficient as possible for non-primitive types,
     87 // elements may or may not be destroyed when they are deleted from the sparse
     88 // array through a call to erase(), erase_existing() or resize(). They
     89 // immediately become inaccessible, but they are only guaranteed to be
     90 // destroyed when the SparseArray destructor is called.
