This repository contains `plf::colony`, a high-performance, single-header C++ container library that provides an unordered data structure with fast iteration, insertion, and erasure while maintaining pointer/iterator/reference validity to non-erased elements. It is implemented as a template class in `plf_colony.h`, supported by `plf_tools.h` which provides compiler feature detection macros, utility functions, and allocator-aware helpers. The container uses a novel skipfield-based memory management technique (low-complexity jump-counting pattern) to achieve O(1) amortized insertion and erasure, and O(n) iteration with minimal overhead. It supports C++98 through C++23, with extensive compile-time feature detection and conditional compilation. The codebase is exceptionally well-crafted, demonstrating advanced template metaprogramming, low-level memory optimization, and careful handling of allocator traits, exception safety, and trivial type optimizations. The test suite (`plf_colony_test_suite.cpp`) is comprehensive, covering correctness, edge cases, fuzz testing, and exception recovery. The repository is a standalone library intended for reuse in any C++ project requiring a flexible, high-performance container with stable iterators.
