Mechanisms¶
- Immutable Data or Copy-on-Write
- Its strength is eliminating a whole class of bugs at the root: with no shared mutable state, accidental cross-contamination, aliasing surprises, and stomped concurrent edits simply cannot occur, and retries and speculative reads become safe.
This sourceExplains that value semantics and immutable values can eliminate shared-mutable-state data races by keeping mutations local so changes to one copy do not affect another.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
