zinc-dual-index-pattern

A dual-index pattern solves this by maintaining synchronized positions for each element across global and grouped lists. This ensures consistent cross-view indices while keeping storage contiguous for fast iteration in War3Lib.

You can achieve O(1) deletion in Lua-JASS by using a swap-remove technique. This removes elements by swapping the target with the last array item and shrinking the array, avoiding costly memory shifts.

To prevent memory fragmentation when frequently creating and destroying timers, use compact storage with contiguous arrays. This layout eliminates memory holes and maintains predictable memory usage for high-frequency workloads.

Yes, the dual-index pattern is designed for high-frequency create/destroy workloads in War3Lib. It supports scenarios like buffs, effects, and central timers where quick iteration and predictable memory usage are essential.

To implement a compact array structure for synchronized lists, initialize a global list and per-group lists. This dual-view indexing maintains contiguous memory with no holes while keeping parallel structures synchronized for each element.
