Description

A flat_map is a kind of associative container that supports unique keys (contains at most one of each key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys.

A flat_map satisfies all of the requirements of a container, a reversible container and an associative container. A flat_map also provides most operations described for unique keys. For a flat_map<Key,T> the key_type is Key and the value_type is std::pair<Key,T> (unlike std::map<Key, T> which value_type is std::pair<const Key, T>).

flat_map is similar to std::map but it's implemented by as an ordered sequence container. The underlying sequence container is by default vector but it can also work user-provided vector-like SequenceContainers (like static_vector or small_vector).

Using vector-like sequence containers means that inserting a new element into a flat_map might invalidate previous iterators and references (unless that sequence container is stable_vector or a similar container that offers stable pointers and references). Similarly, erasing an element might invalidate iterators and references pointing to elements that come after (their keys are bigger) the erased element.

This container provides random-access iterators.

Template Parameters

  1. typename Key

    is the key_type of the map

  2. typename T
  3. typename Compare = std::less<Key>

    is the ordering function for Keys (e.g. std::less<Key>).

  4. typename AllocatorOrContainer = new_allocator< std::pair< Key, T> >

    is either:

    • The allocator to allocate value_types (e.g. allocator< std::pair<Key, T> > ). (in this case sequence_type will be vector<value_type, AllocatorOrContainer>)

    • The SequenceContainer to be used as the underlying sequence_type. It must be a vector-like sequence container with random-access iterators..

    Complexity: Logarithmic.

  25. template<typename M> 
      std::pair< iterator, bool > insert_or_assign(const key_type & k, M && obj);

    Effects: If a key equivalent to k already exists in the container, assigns forward<M>(obj) to the mapped_type corresponding to the key k. If the key does not exist, inserts the new value as if by insert, constructing it from value_type(k, forward<M>(obj)).

    No iterators or references are invalidated. If the insertion is successful, pointers and references to the element obtained while it is held in the node handle are invalidated, and pointers and references obtained to that element before it was extracted become valid.

    Returns: The bool component is true if the insertion took place and false if the assignment took place. The iterator component is pointing at the element that was inserted or updated.

    Complexity: Logarithmic in the size of the container.

  26. template<typename M> 
      std::pair< iterator, bool > insert_or_assign(key_type && k, M && obj);
