data_structures: Add deterministic FxHashMap and FxHashSet wrappers

[shivan1b]

StableMap
A wrapper for FxHashMap that allows to insert, remove, get, get_mut and convert a hashmap into a sorted vector using the method into_sorted_vector but no iteration support.

StableSet
A wrapper for FxHashSet that allows to insert, remove, get and convert a hashset into a sorted vector using the method into_sorted_vector but no iteration support.

Addresses issue #63713

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @cramertj (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

Hi @bjorn3!
Could you please check if this meets the requirements of the corresponding issue?
Please note that this does not have the "convertion to a sorted vec." support. I learned the basics of HashMap and checked a few functions, not sure which function does this exactly, could you please point me to that?
Thank you.

Please note that the examples above are NOT a part of the commit message.

But they will be if we decide to merge this (bors includes PR message in merge commit).

---

I'd also like to see this called something like StableMap perhaps or DeterministicMap, since otherwise the determinism aspect is a bit lost in the naming (and since we're likely almost universally using this once we migrate the compiler, it would be good to separate it a bit).

---

[Mark-Simulacrum]

We'll probably want a Set variant of the map as well.

---

For sorted vector support something like the following would work:

fninto_sorted_vector(self) -> Vec<(K,V)>/* or Vec<T> */whereK:PartialOrd,V:PartialOrd,{letmut v = self.base.into_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>();
v.unstable_sort();// this is interesting in that it's unstable but we're not actually adding instability here since the underlying map already has an unstable iteration order
v
}

[bjorn3]

Please rustfmt dfx.rs (but not the rest of the files, so you will need to run rustfmt /path/to/dfx.rs instead of cargo fmt.)

Apart from a few nits this looks good. @Mark-Simulacrum should this PR contain a first user of the new api, or can that be done in a follow-up?

Right. Forgot about it. I shall remove them before merging unless you think it makes sense to have them as a part of commit message?

Shall I go with DeterministickMap then? Should the module name also be changed from dfx to deterministic_map ?

[bjorn3]

I prefer StableMap as it is shorter, which means it is more likely to be picked over FxHashMap.

[shivan1b]

Sure. Should I be creating a separate issue for this?

For sorted vector support something like the following would work:

fninto_sorted_vector(self) -> Vec<(K,V)>/* or Vec<T> */whereK:PartialOrd,V:PartialOrd,{letmut v = self.base.into_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>();
v.unstable_sort();// this is interesting in that it's unstable but we're not actually adding instability here since the underlying map already has an unstable iteration order
v
}

Thank you very much!

[Mark-Simulacrum]

I think adding the set in this PR makes sense; it should be minimally difficult to do so, hopefully.

Yeah, I don't think the examples are too useful.

Apart from a few nits this looks good. @Mark-Simulacrum should this PR contain a first user of the new api, or can that be done in a follow-up?

I think that moving the compiler over can be done in followup PRs. It'll likely be fairly straightforward (mostly just search and replace on FxHash{Map,Set}).
