/* C++ Interface
 *
 * Classes: holder<Type>
 *
 * Description:
 * ============
 * This component provides a hyperobject that isolates a parallel uses of a
 * common variable where it is not necessary to preserve changes from
 * different parallel strands.  In effect, a holder acts a bit like
 * thread-local storage, but has qualities that work better with the
 * fork-join structure of Cilk.  In particular, a holder has the following
 * qualities:
 *
 * - The view of a holder before the first spawn within a function is the same
 *   as the view after each sync (as in the case of a reducer).
 * - The view of a holder within the first spawned child of a function (or the
 *   first child spawned after a sync) is the same as the view on entry to the
 *   function.
 * - The view of a holder before entering a _Cilk_for loop is the same as the
 *   view during the first iteration of the loop and the view at the end of
 *   the loop.
 * - The view of a holder in the continuation of a spawn or in an arbitrary
 *   iteration of a _Cilk_for loop is *non-deterministic*.  It is generally
 *   recommended that the holder be explicitly put into a known state in these
 *   situations.
 *
 * A holder can be used as an alternative to parameter-passing.  They are most
 * useful for replacing non-local variables without massive refactoring.  A
 * holder takes advantage of the fact that, most of the time, a holder view
 * does not change after a spawn or from one iteration of a parallel for loop
 * to the next (i.e., stealing is the exception, not the rule).  When the
 * holder view is a large object that is expensive to construct, this
 * optimization can save significant time versus creating a separate local
 * object for each view.  In addition, a holder using the "keep last" policy
 * will have the same value after a sync as the serialization of the same
 * program.  The last quality will often allow the program to avoid
 * recomputing a value.
 *
 * Usage Example:
 * ==============
 * Function 'compute()' is a complex function that computes a value using a
 * memoized algorithm, storing intermediate results in a hash table.  Compute
 * calls several other functions, each of which calls several other functions,
 * all of which share a global hash table.  In all, there are over a dozen
 * functions with a total of about 60 references to the hash table.  
 *..
 *  hash_table<int, X> memos;
 *
 *  void h(const X& x);  // Uses memos
 *
 *  double compute(const X& x)
 *  {
 *     memos.clear();
 *     // ...
 *     memos[i] = x;
 *     ...
 *     g(i);  // Uses memos
 *     // ...
 *     std::for_each(c.begin(), c.end(), h);  // Call h for each element of c
 *  }
 *
 *  int main()
 *  {
 *      const std::size_t ARRAY_SIZE = 1000000;
 *      extern X myArray[ARRAY_SIZE];
 *
 *      for (std::size_t i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; ++i)
 *      {
 *          compute(myArray[i]);
 *      }
 *  }
 *..
 * We would like to replace the 'for' loop in 'main' with a 'cilk_for'.
 * Although the hash table is cleared on entry to each call to 'compute()',
 * and although the values stored in the hash table are no longer used after
 * 'compute()' returns, the use of the hash table as a global variable
 * prevents 'compute()' from being called safely in parallel.  One way to do
 * this would be to make 'memos' a private variable within the cilk_for loop
 * and pass it down to the actual computation, so that each loop iteration has
 * its own private copy:
 *..
 *      cilk_for (std::size_t i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; ++i)
 *      {
 *          hash_table<int, X> memos;
 *          compute(myArray[i], memos);
 *      }
 *..
 * The problem with this approach is that it requires changing the signature
 * of 'compute', 'h', 'g', and every one of the dozen or so functions that
 * reference 'memos' as well as any function that calls those functions.  This
 * may break the abstraction of 'compute' and other functions, exposing an
 * implementation detail that was not part of the interface.  In addition, the
 * function 'h' is called through a templated algorithm, 'for_each', which
 * requires a fixed interface.  Finally, there is constructor and destructor
 * overhead for 'hash_table' each time through the loop.
 *
 * The alternative approach is to replace 'memos' with a holder.  The holder
 * would be available to all of the functions involved, but would not cause a
 * race between parallel loop iterations.  In order to make this work, each
 * use of the 'memos' variable must be (mechanically) replaced by a use of the
 * holder:
 *..
 *  cilk::holder<hash_table<int, X> > memos_h;
 *
 *  void h(const X& x);  // Uses memos_h
 *
 *  double compute(const X& x)
 *  {
 *     memos_h().clear();  // operator() used to "dereference" the holder
 *     // ...
 *     memos_h()[i] = x;   // operator() used to "dereference" the holder
 *     ...
 *     g(i);  // Uses memos_h
 *     // ...
 *     std::for_each(c.begin(), c.end(), h);  // Call h for each element of c
 *  }
 *..
 * Note that each reference to the holder must be modified with an empty pair
 * of parenthesis.  This syntax is needed because there is no facility in C++
 * for a "smart reference" that would allow 'memos_h' to be a perfect
 * replacement for 'memos'.  One way that a user can avoid this syntax change
 * is to wrap the holder in a class that has the same inteface as
 * 'hash_table' but redirects all calls to the holder:
 *..
 *  template <typename K, typename V>
 *  class hash_table_holder
 *  {
 *    private:
 *      cilk::holder<hash_table<K, V> > m_holder;
 *    public:
 *      void clear() { m_holder().clear(); }
 *      V& operator[](const K& x) { return m_holder()[x]; }
 *      std::size_t size() const { return m_holder().size(); }
 *      // etc. ...
 *  };
 *..
 * Using the above wrapper, the original code can be left unchanged except for
 * replacing 'hash_table' with 'hash_table_holder' and replacing 'for' with
 * 'cilk_for':
 *..
 *  hash_table_holder<int, X> memos;
 *
 *  void h(const X& x);  // Uses memos
 *
 *  double compute(const X& x)
 *  {
 *     memos.clear();  // Calls hash_table_holder::clear().
 *     // ...
 *  }
 *..
 * The above changes have no benefit over the use of thread-local storage.
 * What if one of the functions has a 'cilk_spawn', however?
 *..
 *  void h(const X& x)
 *  {
 *      Y y = x.nested();
 *      double d, w;
 *      if (y)
 *      {
 *          w = cilk_spawn compute_width(y); // May use 'memos'
 *          d = compute_depth(y);            // Does not use 'memos'
 *          cilk_sync;
 *          compute(y);  // recursive call.  Uses 'memos'.
 *      }
 *  }
 *..
 * In the above example, the view of the holder within 'compute_width' is the
 * same as the view on entry to 'h'.  More importantly, the view of the holder
 * within the recursive call to 'compute' is the same as the view on entry to
 * 'h', even if a different worker is executing the recursive call.  Thus, the
 * holder view within a Cilk program has useful qualities not found in
 * thread-local storage.

    /**
     * After a sync, the value stored in a holder matches the most recent
     * value stored into the holder by one of the starnds entering the sync.
     * The holder policy used to instantiate the holder determines which of
     * the entering strands determines the final value of the holder. A policy
     * of 'holder_keep_indeterminate' (the default) is the most efficient, and
     * results in an indeterminate value depending on the runtime schedule
     * (see below for more specifics).  An indeterminate value after a sync is
     * often acceptable, especially if the value of the holder is not reused
     * after the sync.  All of the remaining policies retain the value of the
     * last strand that would be executed in the serialization of the program.
     * They differ in the mechanism used to move the value from one view to
     * another.  A policy of 'holder_keep_last_copy' moves values by
     * copy-assignment.  A policy of 'holder_keep_last_swap' moves values by
     * calling 'swap'.  A policy of 'holder_keep_last_move' is available only
     * for compilers that support C++0x rvalue references and moves values by
     * move-assignment.  A policy of 'holder_keep_last' attempts to choose the
     * most efficient mechanism: member-function 'swap' if the view type
     * supports it, otherwise move-assignment if supported, otherwise
     * copy-assignment.  (The swap member function for a class that provides
     * one is almost always as fast or faster than move-assignment or
     * copy-assignment.)
     *
     * The behavior of 'holder_keep_indeterminate', while indeterminate, is
     * not random and can be used for advanced programming or debugging.  With
     * a policy of 'holder_keep_intermediate', values are never copied or
     * moved between views.  The value of the view after a sync is the same as
     * the value set in the last spawned child before a steal occurs or the
     * last value set in the continuation if no steal occurs.  Using this
     * knowledge, a programmer can use a holder to detect the earliest steal
     * in a piece of code.  An indeterminate holder is also useful for keeping
     * cached data similar to the way some applications might use thread-local
     * storage.
