Cherry-pick: Re-implement RBSet as a subclass of RBMap with empty values.

[JoltedJon]

Pulls in godotengine/godot#101070 and also makes use of C++20 feature to have no unique address for empty values.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Performance

  • Collection entries with empty value types can now use less storage, potentially reducing memory use in affected workloads.

• Refactor

  • Updated set and map handling while preserving collection operations. Set iteration now provides read-only access to elements, preventing changes to stored values through iterators.

Walkthrough

The change adds a value_is_key mode to RBMap and rewrites RBSet to delegate to that specialization. RBSet exposes const iteration. Several call sites now use const references or access list-entry keys.

Changes

RBMap and RBSet refactor

Layer / File(s)	Summary
RBMap key access and empty values core/templates/pair.h, core/templates/rb_map.h	KeyValue::value is marked [[no_unique_address]]. RBMap adds value_is_key, which makes elements and const iterators expose the key when enabled.
RBSet delegates to RBMap core/templates/rb_set.h	RBSet delegates its operations to the value-only RBMap specialization. It exposes const iterators and no longer provides mutable iterators.
Call-site const access editor/animation/animation_blend_tree_editor_plugin.cpp, modules/gdscript/gdscript.cpp, modules/gdscript/gdscript_cache.cpp, scene/2d/tile_map_layer.cpp	Call sites use const iterators or references. The GDScript reload loop accesses the instance through the list entry’s key() accessor.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 302e0

This change reimplements the RBSet container on top of RBMap and updates a few call sites to use const access. No concrete merge-blocking risk was found in the supplied context.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to fc014

The change strengthens stored-key immutability and preserves the reviewed script cleanup operations. However, initializer-list construction is incompatible with the delegated constructor. No introduced security attack path was established; broader downstream exposure remains partially assessed.

Retained concerns

• Low · architecture · inferred: RBSet retains a constructor accepting std::initializer_list but forwards that list directly to RBMap, whose initializer-list constructor accepts std::initializer_list<KeyValue<T, RBEmptyValue>>. Those list types are incompatible, so consumers instantiating this public construction path cannot compile. This is an introduced construction-contract regression, not an established runtime security exploit.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The established affected scope is shared in-process collection behavior consumed by scripting, editor, and scene code. A collection defect could propagate to those consumers, but the available relationships do not establish maximum downstream exposure or a newly reachable attacker-controlled entrypoint.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The reviewed script cleanup and reload accesses retain their existing identity sources and lifecycle operations. Parser-cache cleanup retains its mutex, repetition guard, validity checks, and reference ownership. These changes adapt collection access rather than introducing new script authority or bypassing those controls.
