// This library provides APIs to debug the probing behavior of hash tables.
//
// In general, the probing behavior is a black box for users and only the
// side effects can be measured in the form of performance differences.
// These APIs give a glimpse on the actual behavior of the probing algorithms in
// these hashtables given a specified hash function and a set of elements.
//
// The probe count distribution can be used to assess the quality of the hash
// function for that particular hash table. Note that a hash function that
// performs well in one hash table implementation does not necessarily performs
// well in a different one.
//
// This library supports std::unordered_{set,map}, dense_hash_{set,map} and
// absl::{flat,node,string}_hash_{set,map}.
