telodendria/include/Cytoplasm/HashMap.h
Jordan Bancino 461357b526 Move headers from src/include to include/Cytoplasm.
This makes it easier to build Cytoplasm as a component of another
program (for example, Telodendria), or as a standalone system library.

* @Nd A simple hash map implementation.
* @Dd October 11 2022
* @Xr Array Queue
*
* This is the public interface for Cytoplasm's hash map
* implementation. This hash map is designed to be simple,
* well-documented, and generally readable and understandable, yet also
* performant enough to be useful, because it is used extensively
* throughout the project.
* .Pp
* Fundamentally, this is an entirely generic map implementation. It
* can be used for many general purposes, but it is designed only to
* implement the features Cytoplasm needs to be functional. One
* example of a Cytoplasm-specific feature is that keys cannot be
* arbitrary data; they are NULL-terminated C strings.

* Note that this function is not thread-safe; two threads cannot be
* iterating over any given hash map at the same time, though they
* can each be iterating over different hash maps.
* .Pp
* This function can be tricky to use in some scenarios, as it
* continues where it left off on each call, until there are no more
* elements to go through in the hash map. If you are not iterating
* over the entire map in one go, and happen to break the loop, then
* the next time you attempt to iterate the hash map, you'll start
* somewhere in the middle, which is most likely not the intended
* behavior. Thus, it is always recommended to iterate over the entire
* hash map if you're going to use this function.
* .Pp
* Also note that the behavior of this function is undefined if
* insertions or deletions occur during the iteration. This
* functionality has not been tested, and will likely not work.
