#include "pub_tool_basics.h"   // Word

// This module implements an ordered set, a data structure with fast
// (eg. amortised log(n) or better) insertion, lookup and deletion of
// elements.  It does not allow duplicates, and will assert if you insert a
// duplicate to an OSet.
//
// It has two interfaces.  
//
// - The "OSetWord_" interface provides an easier-to-use interface for the
//   case where you just want to store UWord-sized values.  The user
//   provides the allocation and deallocation functions, and possibly a 
//   comparison function.
//
// - The "OSetGen_" interface provides a totally generic interface, which
//   allows any kind of structure to be put into the set.  The user provides
//   the allocation and deallocation functions.  Also, each element has a
//   key, which the lookup is done with.  The key may be the whole element
//   (eg. in an OSet of integers, each integer serves both as an element and
//   a key), or it may be only part of it (eg. if the key is a single field
//   in a struct).  The user can provide a function that compares an element
//   with a key;  this is very flexible, and with the right comparison
//   function even a (non-overlapping) interval list can be created.  But
//   the cost of calling a function for every comparison can be high during
//   lookup.  If no comparison function is provided, we assume that keys are
//   unsigned words, and that the key is the first word in each
//   element.  This fast comparison is suitable for an OSet containing
//   structs where the first element is an Addr, for example.
//   Do not assume fast comparison works properly with signed words.
//   A.o. iterating over the values will not return them in the correct
//   order.
//
// Each OSet interface also has an iterator, which makes it simple to
// traverse all the nodes in order.  Note that the iterator maintains state
// and so is non-reentrant.
//
// Note that once you insert an element into an OSet, if you modify any part
// of it looked at by your cmp() function, this may cause incorrect
// behaviour as the sorted order maintained will be wrong.

// * Next: Copies the next value according to the OSet's iterator into &val,

// * Create: allocates and initialises the OSet. Never returns NULL.
//   Parameters:
//   - keyOff    The offset of the key within the element.
//   - cmp       The comparison function between keys and elements, or NULL
//               if the OSet should use fast comparisons.
//   - alloc_fn  The allocation function used for allocating the OSet itself;
//               It must not return NULL (that is, if it returns it must
//               have succeeded.)
//               If a pool allocator is used, it's called to allocate pool of
//               nodes.
//               If no pool allocator is used, it's called for each
//               invocation of VG_(OSetGen_AllocNode)().
//   - cc        Cost centre string used by 'alloc'.
//   - free_fn   If no pool allocator is used, this is the deallocation
//               function used by VG_(OSetGen_FreeNode)() and
//               VG_(OSetGen_Destroy)().
//               If a pool allocator is used, the memory used by the nodes is
//               deallocated when the pool is deleted.
//   (for more details about pool allocators, see pub_tool_poolalloc.h).
//   
//
//   If cmp is NULL, keyOff must be zero.  This is checked.
//
// * Destroy: frees all nodes in the table, plus the memory used by
//   the table itself.  The passed-in function is called on each node first
//   to allow the destruction of any attached resources;  if NULL it is not
//   called.
//
// * AllocNode: Allocate and zero memory for a node to go into the OSet.
//   If a pool allocator is used, it uses the pool allocator to allocate a node.
//   Otherwise, uses the alloc function given to VG_(OSetGen_Create)() to
//   allocate a node which is big enough for both an element and the OSet
//   metadata.
//   Not all elements in one OSet have to be the same size.
//   However, if a pool allocator is used, elements will all have a size equal
//   to the max user data size given at creation + the node meta data size.
//
//   Note that the element allocated will be at most word-aligned, which may
//   be less aligned than the element type would normally be.
//
// * FreeNode: Deallocate a node allocated with OSetGen_AllocNode().  Using
//   a deallocation function (such as VG_(free)()) directly will likely
//   lead to assertions in Valgrind's allocator.

// allocate the nodes.
// The node size is the sum of a fixed small meta data size needed for OSet
// + the size of the user data element.
// The maximum size for the user data element is specified by maxEltSize.

// and these elements have a small fixed size, or have a variable size, but
// always <= than a (small) maximum value.
// In such a case, allocating the nodes in pools reduces significantly
// the memory overhead needed by each node.
// When a node is freed (i.e. OSetGen_Freenode is called), the node is
// put back in the pool allocator free list (for sub-sequent re-use by
// OSetGen_AllocNode). Note that the pool memory is only released when
// the pool is destroyed : calls to VG_(OSetGen_Free) do not cause
// any calls to OSetFree_t _free function.
// If there are several OSet managing similar such elements, it might be
// interesting to use a shared pool for these OSet.
// To have multiple OSets sharing a pool allocator, create the first OSet
// with VG_(OSetGen_Create_With_Pool). Create subsequent OSet with
