[llvm-commits] Patch: SparseMultiSet

[Owen Anderson]

FWIW,  this could also be useful for GVN's value table struct, which is currently a hashtable-to-linked-list.

Essentially, SparseMultiSet provides multiset behavior by storing its dense data in doubly linked lists that are inlined into the dense vector. This allows it to provide good data locality as well as vector-like constant-time clear() and fast constant time find(), insert(), and erase(). It also allows SparseMultiSet to have a builtin recycler rather than keeping SparseSet's behavior of always swapping upon removal, which allows it to preserve more iterators. It's often a better alternative to a SparseSet of a growable container or vector-of-vector.
