Hi Danilo,

Your understanding seems incorrect. Even with previously unoptimized
mas_preallocate(), the maple tree cannot be modified between calls to
mas_preallocate() and mas_store_prealloc(). The calculation of the
number of pre-allocated nodes depends on the structure of the maple
tree. In the unoptimized mas_preallocate(), it depends on the height of
the tree. If the maple tree is modified before mas_store_prealloc() and
the height of the tree changes, the number of pre-allocated nodes is
inaccurate.

Regards,
Peng
