EXOTIC.tdss

A C++ data-oriented registry with compile-time type mapping and cache-efficient handle-based storage. Originally designed as the data layer of a compiler architecture, this system is general-purpose and can be used in other data-oriented systems.

Features

• Compile-time type-to-storage mapping
• Contiguous cache-friendly storage
• Handle-based object access
• Data-oriented architecture
• Minimal runtime overhead

Storage Model

The underlying storage system is built around a hybrid stack/heap strategy.

Each SmartStorage<T, N> is statically evaluated at compile time:

• If the total storage size fits within a fixed internal threshold, data is allocated on the stack.
• Otherwise, it falls back to heap allocation with aligned memory.

This allows predictable performance for small datasets while maintaining scalability for larger ones.

Configuration

using NodeDataRegistryTable = LinearTable<
    Entry<NodeInstruction,         InstructionNodeData>,
    Entry<NodeCallFunction,        FunctionCallNodeData>,
    Entry<NodeDeclarationFunction, FunctionDeclarationNodeData>,
    Entry<NodeLiteral,             LiteralNodeData>,
    Entry<NodeOperation,           OperationNodeData>
>;

using NodeDataRegistry = MultiStorageRegistry<NodeDataRegistryTable, NodeHandleProvider, 1 << 20>;

NodeDataRegistry registry(provider);

The MultiStorageRegistry<Table, Handle, N> is a facade that aggregates multiple data domains, driven by a compile-time configuration table, into a unified internal allocation system built on top of SmartStorage<T, N> previously introduced. Additionally, it is possible to define a specific size for MultiStorageRegistry<..., N> in bytes, which is then evenly distributed across the underlying storage subsystems.

Usage

registry.construct(nodeLiteral, token);
auto& literalData = registry.get(nodeLiteral);

registry.construct_for<LiteralNodeData>(nodeLiteral, token);

registry.construct(nodeOperation, lhs, rhs);
auto& operationData = registry.get(nodeOperation);

registry.reset();
