+// tiny_vector – CPU friendly, small_vector-like container for mutexes,
+// atomics and other non-movable things.
+//
+// The purpose of the container is to store arbitrary number of objects
+// with absolutely minimal requirements regarding constructibility
+// and assignability while minimizing memory indirection.
+// There is no obligation for MoveConstructibility, CopyConstructibility,
+// MoveAssignability, CopyAssignability nor even DefaultConstructibility
+// which allows to handle std::mutexes, std::atomics or any type embedding
+// them.
+//
+// Few requirements translate into tiny interface. The container isn't
+// Copy- nor MoveConstructible. Although it does offer random access
+// iterator, insertion in the middle is not allowed. The maximum number
+// of elements must be known at run-time. This shouldn't be an issue in
+// the intended use case: sharding.
+//
+// For the special case of no internal slots (InternalCapacity eq 0),
+// tiny_vector doesn't require moving any elements (changing pointers
+// is enough), and thus should be MoveConstructibile.
+//
+// Alternatives:
+// 1. std::vector<boost::optional<ValueT>> initialized with the known
+// size and emplace_backed(). boost::optional inside provides
+// the DefaultConstructibility. Imposes extra memory indirection.
+// 2. boost::container::small_vector + boost::optional always
+// requires MoveConstructibility.
+// 3. boost::container::static_vector feed via emplace_back().
+// Good for performance but enforces upper limit on elements count.
+// For sharding this means we can't handle arbitrary number of
+// shards (weird configs).
+// 4. std::unique_ptr<ValueT>: extra indirection together with memory
+// fragmentation.

+ // emplacer is the piece of weirdness that comes from handling
+ // unmovable-and-uncopyable things. The only way to instantiate
+ // such types I know is to create instances in-place perfectly
+ // forwarding necessary data to constructor.
+ // Abstracting that is the exact purpose of emplacer.
+ //
+ // The usage scenario is:
+ // 1. The tiny_vector's ctor is provided with a) maximum number
+ // of instances and b) a callable taking emplacer.
+ // 2. The callable can (but isn't obliged to!) use emplacer to
+ // construct an instance without knowing at which address
+ // in memory it will be put. Callable is also supplied with
+ // an unique integer from the range <0, maximum number of
+ // instances).
+ // 3. If callable decides to instantiate, it calls ::emplace
+ // of emplacer passing all arguments required by the type
+ // hold in tiny_vector.
+ //
+ // Example:
+ // ```
+ // static constexpr const num_internally_allocated_slots = 32;
+ // tiny_vector<T, num_internally_allocated_slots> mytinyvec {
+ // num_of_instances,
+ // [](const size_t i, auto emplacer) {
+ // emplacer.emplace(argument_for_T_ctor);
+ // }
+ // }
+ // ```
+ //
+ // For the sake of supporting the ceph::make_mutex() family of
+ // factories, which relies on C++17's guaranteed copy elision,
+ // the emplacer provides `data()` to retrieve the location for
+ // constructing the instance with placement-new. This is handy
+ // as the `emplace()` depends on perfect forwarding, and thus
+ // interfere with the elision for cases like:
+ // ```
+ // emplacer.emplace(ceph::make_mutex("mtx-name"));
+ // ```
