These collection type specifiers allow for insertion of sets disallowing or allowing duplicate elements, respectively. The syntaxes of set_of and multiset_of coincide, so they are described together.

A [multi]set_of set view is a std::[multi]set signature-compatible interface to the underlying heap of elements contained in a bimap.

There are two variants: set_of, which does not allow duplicate elements (with respect to its associated comparison predicate) and multiset_of, which does accept those duplicates. The interface of these two variants is largely the same, so they are documented together with their differences explicitly noted where they exist.

If you look the bimap from a side, you will use a map view, and if you look at it as a whole, you will be using a set view.

In the case of a bimap< {multi}set_of<Left>, ... >

In the set view:

typedef signature-compatible with relation<       Left, ... > key_type;
typedef signature-compatible with relation< const Left, ... > value_type;

In the left map view:

typedef  Left  key_type;
typedef  ...   data_type;

typedef signature-compatible with std::pair< const Left, ... > value_type;

In the right map view:

typedef  ...  key_type;
typedef  Left data_type;

typedef signature-compatible with std::pair< ... ,const Left > value_type;

Here and in the descriptions of operations of this view, we adopt the scheme outlined in the complexity signature section. The complexity signature of [multi]set_of view is:

  • copying: c(n) = n * log(n),
  • insertion: i(n) = log(n),
  • hinted insertion: h(n) = 1 (constant) if the hint element precedes the point of insertion, h(n) = log(n) otherwise,
  • deletion: d(n) = 1 (amortized constant),
  • replacement: r(n) = 1 (constant) if the element position does not change, r(n) = log(n) otherwise,
  • modifying: m(n) = 1 (constant) if the element position does not change, m(n) = log(n) otherwise.

Set views are instantiated internally to a bimap. Instantiations are dependent on the following types:

  • Value from the set specifier,
  • Allocator from bimap,
  • Compare from the set specifier.

Compare is a Strict Weak Ordering on elements of Value.

Set views do not have public constructors or destructors. Assignment, on the other hand, is provided.

this_type & operator=(const this_type & x);
  • Effects: a = b; where a and b are the bimap objects to which *this and x belong, respectively.
  • Returns: *this.

std::pair<iterator,bool> insert(const value_type & x);
  • Effects: Inserts x into the bimap to which the set view belongs if
    • the set view is non-unique OR no other element with equivalent key exists,
    • AND insertion is allowed by the other set specifications the bimap.
  • Returns: The return value is a pair p. p.second is true if and only if insertion took place. On successful insertion, p.first points to the element inserted; otherwise, p.first points to an element that caused the insertion to be banned. Note that more than one element can be causing insertion not to be allowed.
  • Complexity: O(I(n)).
  • Exception safety: Strong.

iterator insert(iterator position, const value_type & x);
  • Requires: position is a valid iterator of the view.
  • Effects: position is used as a hint to improve the efficiency of the operation. Inserts x into the bimap to which the view belongs if
    • the set view is non-unique OR no other element with equivalent key exists,
    • AND insertion is allowed by all other views of the bimap.
  • Returns: On successful insertion, an iterator to the newly inserted element. Otherwise, an iterator to an element that caused the insertion to be banned. Note that more than one element can be causing insertion not to be allowed.
  • Complexity: O(H(n)).
  • Exception safety: Strong.

template< class InputIterator >
void insert(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
  • Requires: InputIterator is a model of Input Iterator over elements of type value_type or a type convertible to value_type. first and last are not iterators into any view of the bimap to which this index belongs. last is reachable from first.
  • Effects: iterator hint = end(); while( first != last ) hint = insert( hint, *first++ );
  • Complexity: O(m*H(n+m)), where m is the number of elements in [first, last).
  • Exception safety: Basic.

iterator erase(iterator position);
  • Requires: position is a valid dereferenceable iterator if the set view.
  • Effects: Deletes the element pointed to by position.
  • Returns: An iterator pointing to the element immediately following the one that was deleted, or end() if no such element exists.
  • Complexity: O(D(n)).
  • Exception safety: nothrow.

template< class CompatibleKey >
size_type erase(const CompatibleKey & x);
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: Deletes the elements with key equivalent to x.
  • Returns: Number of elements deleted.
  • Complexity: O(log(n) + m*D(n)), where m is the number of elements deleted.
  • Exception safety: Basic.

iterator erase(iterator first, iterator last);
  • Requires: [first,last) is a valid range of the view.
  • Effects: Deletes the elements in [first,last).
  • Returns: last.
  • Complexity: O(log(n) + m*D(n)), where m is the number of elements in [first,last).
  • Exception safety: nothrow.

bool replace(iterator position, const value_type& x);
  • Requires: position is a valid dereferenceable iterator of the set view.
  • Effects: Assigns the value x to the element pointed to by position into the bimap to which the set view belongs if, for the value x
    • the set view is non-unique OR no other element with equivalent key exists (except possibly *position),
    • AND replacing is allowed by all other views of the bimap.
  • Postconditions: Validity of position is preserved in all cases.
  • Returns: true if the replacement took place, false otherwise.
  • Complexity: O(R(n)).
  • Exception safety: Strong. If an exception is thrown by some user-provided operation, the bimap to which the set view belongs remains in its original state.

template< class CompatibleKey >
bool replace_key(iterator position, const CompatibleKey & x);
  • Requires: position is a valid dereferenceable iterator of the set view. CompatibleKey can be assigned to key_type.
  • Effects: Assigns the value x to e.first, where e is the element pointed to by position into the bimap to which the set view belongs if,
    • the map view is non-unique OR no other element with equivalent key exists (except possibly *position),
    • AND replacing is allowed by all other views of the bimap.
  • Postconditions: Validity of position is preserved in all cases.
  • Returns: true if the replacement took place, false otherwise.
  • Complexity: O(R(n)).

template< class KeyModifier >
bool modify_key(iterator position, KeyModifier mod);
  • Requires: KeyModifier is a model of Unary Function accepting arguments of type: key_type&; position is a valid dereferenceable iterator of the view.
  • Effects: Calls mod(e.first) where e is the element pointed to by position and rearranges *position into all the views of the bimap. If the rearrangement fails, the element is erased. Rearrangement is successful if
    • the map view is non-unique OR no other element with equivalent key exists,
    • AND rearrangement is allowed by all other views of the bimap.
  • Postconditions: Validity of position is preserved if the operation succeeds.
  • Returns: true if the operation succeeded, false otherwise.
  • Complexity: O(M(n)).
  • Exception safety: Basic. If an exception is thrown by some user-provided operation (except possibly mod), then the element pointed to by position is erased.
  • Note: Only provided for map views.

template< class DataModifier >
bool modify_data(iterator position, DataModifier mod);
  • Requires: DataModifier is a model of Unary Function accepting arguments of type: data_type&; position is a valid dereferenceable iterator of the view.
  • Effects: Calls mod(e.second) where e is the element pointed to by position and rearranges *position into all the views of the bimap. If the rearrangement fails, the element is erased. Rearrangement is successful if

  • Postconditions: Validity of position is preserved if the operation succeeds.
  • Returns: true if the operation succeeded, false otherwise.
  • Complexity: O(M(n)).
  • Exception safety: Basic. If an exception is thrown by some user-provided operation (except possibly mod), then the element pointed to by position is erased.
  • Note: Only provided for map views.

[multi]set_of views provide the full lookup functionality required by Sorted Associative Container and Unique Associative Container, namely find, count, lower_bound, upper_bound and equal_range. Additionally, these member functions are templatized to allow for non-standard arguments, so extending the types of search operations allowed.

A type CompatibleKey is said to be a compatible key of Compare if (CompatibleKey, Compare) is a compatible extension of Compare. This implies that Compare, as well as being a strict weak ordering, accepts arguments of type CompatibleKey, which usually means it has several overloads of operator().

template< class CompatibleKey >
iterator find(const CompatibleKey & x);

template< class CompatibleKey >
const_iterator find(const CompatibleKey & x) const;
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: Returns a pointer to an element whose key is equivalent to x, or end() if such an element does not exist.
  • Complexity: O(log(n)).

template< class CompatibleKey >
size_type count(const key_type & x) const;
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: Returns the number of elements with key equivalent to x.
  • Complexity: O(log(n) + count(x)).

template< class CompatibleKey >
iterator lower_bound(const key_type & x);

template< class CompatibleKey >
const_iterator lower_bound(const key_type & x) const;
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: Returns an iterator pointing to the first element with key not less than x, or end() if such an element does not exist.
  • Complexity: O(log(n)).

template< class CompatibleKey >
iterator upper_bound(const key_type & x);

template< class CompatibleKey >
const_iterator upper_bound(const key_type & x) const;
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: Returns an iterator pointing to the first element with key greater than x, or end() if such an element does not exist.
  • Complexity: O(log(n)).

template< class CompatibleKey >
std::pair<iterator,iterator>
    equal_range(const key_type & x);

template< class CompatibleKey >
std::pair<const_iterator,const_iterator> 
    equal_range(const key_type & x) const;
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: Equivalent to make_pair(lower_bound(x),upper_bound(x)).
  • Complexity: O(log(n)).

The member function range is not defined for sorted associative containers, but [multi]set_of map views provide it as a convenient utility. A range or interval is defined by two conditions for the lower and upper bounds, which are modelled after the following concepts.

Consider a Strict Weak Ordering Compare over values of type Key. A type LowerBounder is said to be a lower bounder of Compare if

  • LowerBounder is a Predicate over Key,
  • if lower(k1) and !comp(k2,k1) then lower(k2),

for every lower of type LowerBounder, comp of type Compare, and k1, k2 of type Key. Similarly, an upper bounder is a type UpperBounder such that

  • UpperBounder is a Predicate over Key,
  • if upper(k1) and !comp(k1,k2) then upper(k2),

for every upper of type UpperBounder, comp of type Compare, and k1, k2 of type Key.

template< class LowerBounder, class UpperBounder>
std::pair<const_iterator,const_iterator> range(
    LowerBounder lower, UpperBounder upper) const;
  • Requires: LowerBounder and UpperBounder are a lower and upper bounder of key_compare, respectively.
  • Effects: Returns a pair of iterators pointing to the beginning and one past the end of the subsequence of elements satisfying lower and upper simultaneously. If no such elements exist, the iterators both point to the first element satisfying lower, or else are equal to end() if this latter element does not exist.
  • Complexity: O(log(n)).
  • Variants: In place of lower or upper (or both), the singular value boost::bimap::unbounded can be provided. This acts as a predicate which all values of type key_type satisfy.
  • Note: Only provided for map views.

template< class CompatibleKey >
const data_type & at(const CompatibleKey & k) const;
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: Returns the data_type reference that is associated with k, or throws std::out_of_range if such key does not exist.
  • Complexity: O(log(n)).
  • Note: Only provided when set_of is used.

The symmetry of bimap imposes some constraints on operator[] and the non constant version of at() that are not found in std::maps. Tey are only provided if the other collection type is mutable (list_of, vector_of and unconstrained_set_of).

template< class CompatibleKey >
data_type & operator[](const CompatibleKey & k);
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: return insert(value_type(k,data_type()))->second;
  • Complexity: O(log(n)).
  • Note: Only provided when set_of is used and the other collection type is mutable.

template< class CompatibleKey >
data_type & at(const CompatibleKey & k);
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: Returns the data_type reference that is associated with k, or throws std::out_of_range if such key does not exist.
  • Complexity: O(log(n)).
  • Note: Only provided when set_of is used and the other collection type is mutable.

template< class CompatibleKey >
info_type & info_at(const CompatibleKey & k);

template< class CompatibleKey >
const info_type & info_at(const CompatibleKey & k) const;
  • Requires: CompatibleKey is a compatible key of key_compare.
  • Effects: Returns the info_type reference that is associated with k, or throws std::out_of_range if such key does not exist.
  • Complexity: O(log(n)).
  • Note: Only provided when set_of and info_hook are used

Views cannot be serialized on their own, but only as part of the bimap into which they are embedded. In describing the additional preconditions and guarantees associated to [multi]set_of views with respect to serialization of their embedding containers, we use the concepts defined in the bimap serialization section.

  • Requires: No additional requirements to those imposed by the container.
  • Requires: In addition to the general requirements, value_comp() must be serialization-compatible with m.get<i>().value_comp(), where i is the position of the ordered view in the container.
  • Postconditions: On successful loading, each of the elements of [begin(), end()) is a restored copy of the corresponding element in [m.get<i>().begin(), m.get<i>().end()).
  • Requires: it is a valid iterator of the view. The associated bimap has been previously saved.
  • Postconditions: On successful loading, if it was dereferenceable then *it' is the restored copy of *it, otherwise it' == end().
  • Note: It is allowed that it be a const_iterator and the restored it' an iterator, or viceversa.
