robinxx_map

High-performance, thread-safe open-addressing hash map utilizing Robin Hood displacement with Distance from Home (DfH) tracking and xxHash3 for key hashing. Designed for #![no_std] environments with explicit alloc support.

Features

• #![no_std] + alloc compatible
  Runs in bare-metal, WASM, and embedded environments.
• Thread-Safe by Default
  Internal SpinMutex guarantees Send + Sync without OS primitives.
• Robin Hood Probing
  Bounded worst-case probe chains via DfH displacement.
• SoA Memory Layout
  Parallel 64B-aligned arrays for cache-line efficiency & auto-vectorization.
• Zero External Dependencies
  Core relies only on xxhash-rust for stable, deterministic hashing.
• Strict Safety Contract
  100% safe public API. Internal unsafe blocks guarded by documented invariants.

Installation

Add to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
robinxx_map = "0.1.0"

Quick Start

use robinxx_map::RobinHoodMap;

// Thread-safe, defaults to Global allocator in std environments
let map = RobinHoodMap::new();
map.insert("rust", 2024);
map.insert("cpp", 2011);

assert_eq!(map.get(&"rust"), Some(&2024));
assert_eq!(map.len(), 2);

• Hashing: xxh3_64 (non-cryptographic, extremely fast)
• Probing: Linear with DfH tracking & Robin Hood swap
• Deletion: Backward shift (tombstone-free)
• Resize: Triggered at 80% load factor, rehashes via Robin Hood insertion

Performance (v0.1.0 Baseline)

Operation	robinxx_map	std::HashMap	hashbrown
insert	~8.4 ms	~8.1 ms	~4.6 ms
find	~3.6 ms	~4.8 ms	~1.3 ms
erase	~3.1 ms	~7.2 ms	~2.7 ms
resize	~19.6 ms	~18.2 ms	~10.6 ms

Tested on 100k u64 entries, x86_64 Linux, Rust 1.95.0. Competitive with industry standards; optimized for lookup & deletion workloads.

Safety & MSRV

• MSRV
  1.95.0 | Edition: 2024
• Public API
  100% safe. Panics only on OOM or debug invariant violations.
• Concurrency
  &self methods are thread-safe. &mut self requires exclusive access.
• Memory
  Drop-safe, zero-leak, alignment-guaranteed. unsafe confined to allocation & pointer math.

Coding Standards

• Safety
  unsafe blocks must include // SAFETY: comments explaining invariants.
• Documentation
  All pub items follow Summary → Description → Examples → Panics → Errors → Safety → See Also.
• Testing
  Unit tests for logic, proptest for invariants, criterion for regression.

Out of Scope

• Cryptographic hashing, async I/O, Serde, or OS-specific locks (parking_lot).
• Dynamic SIMD intrinsics (rely on stable auto-vectorization).

We appreciate clean, well-tested, and documented contributions!
