Most code should use a plain Go map instead, 16 // with separate locking or coordination, for better type safety and to make it 17 // easier to maintain other invariants along with the map content. 18 // 19 // The Map type is optimized for two common use cases: (1) when the entry for a given 20 // key is only ever written once but read many times, as in caches that only grow, 21 // or (2) when multiple goroutines read, write, and overwrite entries for disjoint 22 // sets of keys. In these two cases, use of a Map may significantly reduce lock 23 // contention compared to a Go map paired with a separate [Mutex] or [RWMutex]. 24 // 25 // The zero Map is empty and ready for use. A Map must not be copied after first use. 26 // 27 // In the terminology of [the Go memory model], Map arranges that a write operation 28 // “synchronizes before” any read operation that observes the effect of the write, where 29 // read and write operations are defined as follows. 30 // [Map.Load], [Map.LoadAndDelete], [Map.LoadOrStore], [Map.Swap], [Map.CompareAndSwap], 31 // and [Map.CompareAndDelete] are read operations; 32 // [Map.Delete], [Map.LoadAndDelete], [Map.Store], and [Map.Swap] are write operations; 33 // [Map.LoadOrStore] is a write operation when it returns loaded set to false; 34 // [Map.CompareAndSwap] is a write operation when it returns swapped set to true; 35 // and [Map.CompareAndDelete] is a write operation when it returns deleted set to true. 36 // 37 // [the Go memory model]: https://go.dev/ref/mem 38 type Map struct { 39 mu Mutex 40 41 // read contains the portion of the map's contents that are safe for 42 // concurrent access (with or without mu held). 43 // 44 // The read field itself is always safe to load, but must only be stored with 45 // mu held. 46 // 47 // Entries stored in read may be updated concurrently without mu, but updating 48 // a previously-expunged entry requires that the entry be copied to the dirty 49 // map and unexpunged with mu held. 50 read atomic.Pointer[readOnly] 51 52 // dirty contains the portion of the map's contents that require mu to be 53 // held.
