* CWE-407 simulation: OGRE3D GLSLProgramWriter inParams linear scan.
*
* Defect: ogre-0001
* File: Components/RTShaderSystem/src/OgreShaderGLSLProgramWriter.cpp
*
* In writeSourceCode(), for every function invocation atom and for every
* operand within that atom, the code calls:
*
* std::find(inParams.begin(), inParams.end(), param)
*
* where inParams is a vector<ParameterPtr>. This is O(P) per operand, giving
* overall O(A * O * P) where:
* A = atom instances (function invocations)
* O = operands per atom
* P = number of input parameters
*
* Fix: build an unordered_set<const Parameter*> from inParams before the loop,
* reducing the per-operand lookup to O(1) → overall O(A * O).

* Defect: panda3d-0001
* File: panda/src/pgraph/nodePathCollection.cxx

* Defect 2: panda/src/display/graphicsOutput.cxx line 1623
* GraphicsOutput::do_remove_display_region — std::find on pvector<PT(DisplayRegion)>
* Called during window teardown — all N regions removed sequentially → O(N²).
* remove_duplicate_paths() uses a nested O(N²) loop to check for duplicates:
* for i in 0..N:
* for j in 0..i:
* if path[i] == path[j]: duplicated = true
*
* Fix 1: Replace small_vector<DisplayRegion *> with pset<DisplayRegion *>.
* insert/erase/contains all O(1).
* Fix 2: Replace pvector<PT(DisplayRegion)> with pmap<DisplayRegion *, PT(DisplayRegion)>.
* find/erase O(1); iteration for active-region sort still works.
* remove_paths_from() calls has_path() (O(N) scan) for each of N paths → O(N²).
