// DESCRIPTION
//
// SparseArray<T>(m) is a map from integers in [0, m) to T values.
// It requires (sizeof(T)+sizeof(int))*m memory, but it provides
// fast iteration through the elements in the array and fast clearing
// of the array.  The array has a concept of certain elements being
// uninitialized (having no value).
//
// Insertion and deletion are constant time operations.
//
// Allocating the array is a constant time operation
// when memory allocation is a constant time operation.
//
// Clearing the array is a constant time operation (unusual!).
//
// Iterating through the array is an O(n) operation, where n
// is the number of items in the array (not O(m)).
//
// The array iterator visits entries in the order they were first
// inserted into the array.  It is safe to add items to the array while
// using an iterator: the iterator will visit indices added to the array
// during the iteration, but will not re-visit indices whose values
// change after visiting.  Thus SparseArray can be a convenient
// implementation of a work queue.
//
// The SparseArray implementation is NOT thread-safe.  It is up to the
// caller to make sure only one thread is accessing the array.  (Typically
// these arrays are temporary values and used in situations where speed is
// important.)
//
// The SparseArray interface does not present all the usual STL bells and
// whistles.
//
// Implemented with reference to Briggs & Torczon, An Efficient
// Representation for Sparse Sets, ACM Letters on Programming Languages
// and Systems, Volume 2, Issue 1-4 (March-Dec.  1993), pp.  59-69.
//
// Briggs & Torczon popularized this technique, but it had been known
// long before their paper.  They point out that Aho, Hopcroft, and
// Ullman's 1974 Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms and Bentley's
// 1986 Programming Pearls both hint at the technique in exercises to the
// reader (in Aho & Hopcroft, exercise 2.12; in Bentley, column 1
// exercise 8).
//
// Briggs & Torczon describe a sparse set implementation.  I have
// trivially generalized it to create a sparse array (actually the original
// target of the AHU and Bentley exercises).
 
// IMPLEMENTATION
//
// SparseArray is an array dense_ and an array sparse_ of identical size.
// At any point, the number of elements in the sparse array is size_.
//
// The array dense_ contains the size_ elements in the sparse array (with
// their indices),
// in the order that the elements were first inserted.  This array is dense:
// the size_ pairs are dense_[0] through dense_[size_-1].
//
// The array sparse_ maps from indices in [0,m) to indices in [0,size_).
// For indices present in the array, dense_[sparse_[i]].index_ == i.
// For indices not present in the array, sparse_ can contain any value at all,
// perhaps outside the range [0, size_) but perhaps not.
//
// The lax requirement on sparse_ values makes clearing the array very easy:
// set size_ to 0.  Lookups are slightly more complicated.
// An index i has a value in the array if and only if:
//   sparse_[i] is in [0, size_) AND
//   dense_[sparse_[i]].index_ == i.
// If both these properties hold, only then it is safe to refer to
//   dense_[sparse_[i]].value_
// as the value associated with index i.
//
// To insert a new entry, set sparse_[i] to size_,
// initialize dense_[size_], and then increment size_.
//
// To make the sparse array as efficient as possible for non-primitive types,
// elements may or may not be destroyed when they are deleted from the sparse
// array through a call to resize(). They immediately become inaccessible, but
// they are only guaranteed to be destroyed when the SparseArray destructor is
// called.
//
// A moved-from SparseArray will be empty.
 
// Doing this simplifies the logic below.
