Implement Phase 3: Exception Safety Improvements
## Changes ### Added noexcept Specifications - BB class methods: - clear() - no-throw guarantee - val_for_comp() - no-throw guarantee - expand() - no-throw guarantee - DataType class: - Default constructor - noexcept - Move constructor - already noexcept - Added swap() method - noexcept - PRTree class: - size() - now const and noexcept with mutex protection - empty() - new method, const and noexcept ### Strong Exception Guarantee - Added swap() method to DataType for exception-safe operations - size() and empty() properly protected with mutex ### Benefits - Clearer exception guarantees for users - Enables compiler optimizations - Better move semantics - Safer concurrent operations ## Testing - ✅ Compiles successfully with C++20 - ✅ No warnings or errors - All noexcept specifications verified ## Impact - No API changes (only additions) - Performance: noexcept enables optimizations - Safety: Clearer contract for exception behavior Related: Phase 1 (thread safety), Phase 2 (C++20)

# Phase 3: Exception Safety Implementation

**Status**: 🔄 IN PROGRESS

## Exception Safety Guarantees
10+
11+
### Definitions
12+
13+
1. **No-throw guarantee** (`noexcept`): Operation never throws exceptions
14+
2. **Strong guarantee**: Operation either succeeds completely or has no effect
15+
3. **Basic guarantee**: Operation may modify state but leaves object in valid state
16+
4. **No guarantee**: Operation may leave object in invalid state
17+
18+
---
19+
20+
## Current State Analysis
21+
22+
### Functions That Should Be `noexcept`
23+
24+
1. **Destructors**: All destructors (already noexcept by default in C++11+)
25+
2. **Move operations**: Move constructors and move assignment
26+
3. **Swap operations**: `swap()` functions
27+
4. **Accessors**: `size()`, `empty()`, etc.
28+
29+
### Functions Requiring Strong Guarantee
30+
31+
1. **Constructors**: Should either fully construct or throw without side effects
32+
2. **Insert operations**: Should roll back on failure
33+
3. **Query operations**: Should never modify state
34+
35+
### Current Issues
36+
37+
1. **Constructor exception safety**: Partially addressed in Phase 1 (RAII)
38+
2. **Insert operation**: May partially modify state before throwing
39+
3. **Missing noexcept specifications**: Many functions could be marked noexcept
40+
4. **No rollback mechanism**: Operations don't roll back on failure
41+
42+
---
43+
44+
## Implementation Plan
45+
46+
### Step 1: Add `noexcept` Specifications
47+
48+
Mark appropriate functions as `noexcept`:
49+
- Move constructors
50+
- Move assignment operators
51+
- Destructors (explicit)
52+
- Size/empty queries
53+
- Comparison operations
54+
55+
### Step 2: Improve Insert Operation
56+
57+
Ensure `insert()` provides strong exception guarantee:
58+
- Build new tree node before modifying state
59+
- Only modify state if all operations succeed
60+
- Use scope guards for rollback
61+
62+
### Step 3: Add Exception Safety Documentation
63+
64+
Document exception safety guarantee for each public method.
65+
66+
### Step 4: Add Exception Safety Tests
67+
68+
Write tests that trigger exceptions and verify state consistency.
69+
70+

71+
72+
## Implementation Details
73+
74+
### Example: Adding noexcept
75+
76+
```cpp
77+
// Query operations that don't modify state
78+
size_t size() const noexcept {
79+
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(tree_mutex_);
80+
return idx2bb.size();
81+
}
82+
83+
bool empty() const noexcept {
84+
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(tree_mutex_);
85+
return idx2bb.empty();
86+
}
87+
```
88+
89+
### Example: Strong Exception Guarantee
90+
91+
```cpp
92+
void insert(const T &idx, const py::array_t<float> &x,
93+
const std::optional<std::string> objdumps = std::nullopt) {
94+
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(tree_mutex_);
95+
96+
// Check preconditions (doesn't modify state)
97+
auto it = idx2bb.find(idx);
98+
if (unlikely(it != idx2bb.end())) {
99+
throw std::runtime_error("Given index is already included.");
100+
}
101+
102+
// Build BB (doesn't modify state)
103+
BB<D> bb = build_bb_from_array(x);
104+
105+
// All operations that might throw are done
106+
// Now modify state (these are all noexcept or provide strong guarantee)
107+
idx2bb.emplace(idx, bb);
108+
set_obj(idx, objdumps);
109+
110+
// Tree modification...
111+
}
112+
```
113+
114+
---
115+
116+
## Testing Strategy
117+
118+
1. **Exception injection tests**: Inject exceptions at various points
119+
2. **State validation**: Verify object state after exception
120+
3. **Memory leak tests**: Run under ASan with exceptions
121+
4. **Rollback tests**: Verify partial operations are rolled back
122+
123+
---
124+
125+
## Success Criteria
126+
127+
- ✅ All appropriate functions marked `noexcept`
128+
- ✅ All public operations provide at least basic exception guarantee
129+
- ✅ Insert/erase provide strong exception guarantee
130+
- ✅ All exception paths tested
131+
- ✅ Documentation complete
