:idprefix: unordered_flat_map_

`boost::unordered_flat_map` — An open-addressing unordered associative container that associates unique keys with another value.

The performance of `boost::unordered_flat_map` is much better than that of `boost::unordered_map`
or other implementations of `std::unordered_map`. Unlike standard unordered associative containers,
which are node-based, the elements of a `boost::unordered_flat_map` are held directly in the bucket
array, and insertions into an already occupied bucket are diverted to available buckets in the
vicinity of the original position. This type of data layout is known as _open addressing_.

As a result of its using open addressing, the interface of `boost::unordered_flat_map` deviates in
a number of aspects from that of `boost::unordered_map`/`std::unordered_map`: 

  - `value_type` must be move-constructible. 
  - Pointer stability is not kept under rehashing.
  - `begin()` is not constant-time.
  - There is no API for bucket handling (except `bucket_count`) or node extraction/insertion.
  - The maximum load factor of the container is managed internally and can't be set by the user.

Other than this, `boost::unordered_flat_map` is mostly a drop-in replacement of node-based standard
unordered associative containers.

=== Description

*Template Parameters*

[cols="1,1"]
|===

|_Key_
.2+|`Key` and `T` must be https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/MoveConstructible[MoveConstructible^].
`std::pair<const Key, T>` must be https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/EmplaceConstructible[EmplaceConstructible^]
into the container from any `std::pair` object convertible to it, and it also must be
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Erasable[Erasable^] from the container.

|_T_

|_Hash_
|A unary function object type that acts a hash function for a `Key`. It takes a single argument of type `Key` and returns a value of type `std::size_t`.

|_Pred_
|A binary function object that induces an equivalence relation on values of type `Key`. It takes two arguments of type `Key` and returns a value of type `bool`.

|_Allocator_
|An allocator whose value type is the same as the container's value type.
Allocators using https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Allocator#Fancy_pointers[fancy pointers] are supported.

|===

The elements of the container are held into an internal _bucket array_. An element is inserted into a bucket determined by its
hash code, but if the bucket is already occupied (a _collision_), an available one in the vicinity of the
original position is used.

The size of the bucket array can be automatically increased by a call to `insert`/`emplace`, or as a result of calling
`rehash`/`reserve`. The _load factor_ of the container (number of elements divided by number of buckets) is never
greater than `max_load_factor()`, except possibly for small sizes where the implementation may decide to
allow for higher loads.

If `xref:hash_traits_hash_is_avalanching[hash_is_avalanching]<Hash>::value` is `true`, the hash function
is used as-is; otherwise, a bit-mixing post-processing stage is added to increase the quality of hashing
at the expense of extra computational cost.

[horizontal]
Note:;; The destructor is applied to every element, and all memory is deallocated

---

=== Assignment

==== Copy Assignment

```c++
unordered_flat_map& operator=(unordered_flat_map const& other);
```

The assignment operator. Destroys previously existing elements, copy-assigns the hash function and predicate from `other`, 
copy-assigns the allocator from `other` if `Alloc::propagate_on_container_copy_assignment` exists and `Alloc::propagate_on_container_copy_assignment::value` is `true`,
and finally inserts copies of the elements of `other`.

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `value_type` is https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyInsertable[CopyInsertable^]

---

==== Move Assignment
```c++
unordered_flat_map& operator=(unordered_flat_map&& other)

            std::is_same<pointer, value_type*>::value);
```
The move assignment operator. Destroys previously existing elements, swaps the hash function and predicate from `other`,
and move-assigns the allocator from `other` if `Alloc::propagate_on_container_move_assignment` exists and `Alloc::propagate_on_container_move_assignment::value` is `true`.
If at this point the allocator is equal to `other.get_allocator()`, the internal bucket array of `other` is transferred directly to the new container;
otherwise, inserts move-constructed copies of the elements of `other`.
If statistics are xref:unordered_flat_map_boost_unordered_enable_stats[enabled],
transfers the internal statistical information from `other` iff the final allocator is equal to `other.get_allocator()`,
and always calls `other.reset_stats()`.

Assign from values in initializer list. All previously existing elements are destroyed.

```c++
iterator begin() noexcept;
const_iterator begin() const noexcept;

```c++
template<class... Args> std::pair<iterator, bool> emplace(Args&&... args);

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `value_type` is constructible from `args`.
Returns:;; The `bool` component of the return type is `true` if an insert took place. +
+
If an insert took place, then the iterator points to the newly inserted element. Otherwise, it points to the element with equivalent key.
Throws:;; If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.
Notes:;; Can invalidate iterators, pointers and references, but only if the insert causes the load to be greater than the maximum load. +
+

Throws:;; If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.
Notes:;; Can invalidate iterators, pointers and references, but only if the insert causes the load to be greater than the maximum load. +
+
A call of the form `insert(x)`, where `x` is equally convertible to both `const value_type&` and `const init_type&`, is not ambiguous and selects the `init_type` overload.

  std::pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace(key_type&& k, Args&&... args);
template<class K, class... Args>
  std::pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace(K&& k, Args&&... args);
```

Inserts a new element into the container if there is no existing element with key `k` contained within it.

If there is an existing element with key `k` this function does nothing.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The `bool` component of the return type is `true` if an insert took place. +

If an insert took place, then the iterator points to the newly inserted element. Otherwise, it points to the element with equivalent key.
Throws:;; If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.
Notes:;; This function is similiar to xref:#unordered_flat_map_emplace[emplace], with the difference that no `value_type` is constructed

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...))
```

unlike xref:#unordered_flat_map_emplace[emplace], which simply forwards all arguments to ``value_type``'s constructor.

Can invalidate iterators pointers and references, but only if the insert causes the load to be greater than the maximum load.

The `template<class K, class\... Args>` overload only participates in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs and neither `iterator` nor `const_iterator` are implicitly convertible from `K`. The library assumes that `Hash` is callable with both `K` and `Key` and that `Pred` is transparent. This enables heterogeneous lookup which avoids the cost of instantiating an instance of the `Key` type.

```

unlike xref:#unordered_flat_map_emplace_hint[emplace_hint], which simply forwards all arguments to ``value_type``'s constructor.

Can invalidate iterators pointers and references, but only if the insert causes the load to be greater than the maximum load.

```

Inserts a new element into the container or updates an existing one by assigning to the contained value.

If there is an element with key `k`, then it is updated by assigning `std::forward<M>(obj)`.

If there is no such element, it is added to the container as:
```c++

The library assumes that `Hash` is callable with both `K` and `Key` and that `Pred` is transparent. This enables heterogeneous lookup which avoids the cost of instantiating an instance of the `Key` type.

==== insert_or_assign with Hint
```c++
template<class M>
  iterator insert_or_assign(const_iterator hint, const key_type& k, M&& obj);
template<class M>
  iterator insert_or_assign(const_iterator hint, key_type&& k, M&& obj);
template<class K, class M>
  iterator insert_or_assign(const_iterator hint, K&& k, M&& obj);
```

Inserts a new element into the container or updates an existing one by assigning to the contained value.

If there is an element with key `k`, then it is updated by assigning `std::forward<M>(obj)`.

If there is no such element, it is added to the container as:
```c++
// first two overloads
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,
           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Key>(k)),
           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<M>(obj)))

// third overload
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,
           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<K>(k)),
           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<M>(obj)))
```

`hint` is a suggestion to where the element should be inserted. This implementation ignores it.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; If an insert took place, then the iterator points to the newly inserted element. Otherwise, it points to the element with equivalent key.
Throws:;; If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.
Notes:;; Can invalidate iterators, pointers and references, but only if the insert causes the load to be greater than the maximum load. +

The `template<class K, class M>` only participates in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs. The library assumes that `Hash` is callable with both `K` and `Key` and that `Pred` is transparent. This enables heterogeneous lookup which avoids the cost of instantiating an instance of the `Key` type.

==== Erase by Position

[source,c++,subs=+quotes]
----
_convertible-to-iterator_ erase(iterator position);
_convertible-to-iterator_ erase(const_iterator position);
----

Erase the element pointed to by `position`.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; An opaque object implicitly convertible to the `iterator` or `const_iterator`
immediately following `position` prior to the erasure.
Throws:;; Nothing.
Notes:;; The opaque object returned must only be discarded or immediately converted to `iterator` or `const_iterator`.

---

==== Erase by Key
```c++
size_type erase(const key_type& k);
template<class K> size_type erase(K&& k);
```

Erase all elements with key equivalent to `k`.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The number of elements erased.
Throws:;; Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.
Notes:;; The `template<class K>` overload only participates in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs and neither `iterator` nor `const_iterator` are implicitly convertible from `K`. The library assumes that `Hash` is callable with both `K` and `Key` and that `Pred` is transparent. This enables heterogeneous lookup which avoids the cost of instantiating an instance of the `Key` type.

---

==== Erase Range

```c++
iterator erase(const_iterator first, const_iterator last);
```

Erases the elements in the range from `first` to `last`.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The iterator following the erased elements - i.e. `last`.
Throws:;; Nothing in this implementation (neither the `hasher` nor the `key_equal` objects are called).

  noexcept(boost::allocator_traits<Allocator>::is_always_equal::value ||
           boost::allocator_traits<Allocator>::propagate_on_container_swap::value);
```

Swaps the contents of the container with the parameter.

If `Allocator::propagate_on_container_swap` is declared and `Allocator::propagate_on_container_swap::value` is `true` then the containers' allocators are swapped. Otherwise, swapping with unequal allocators results in undefined behavior.

[horizontal]
Throws:;; Nothing unless `key_equal` or `hasher` throw on swapping.

---

==== clear
```c++
void clear() noexcept;
```

Erases all elements in the container.

[horizontal]
Postconditions:;; `size() == 0`, `max_load() >= max_load_factor() * bucket_count()`

---

==== merge
```c++
template<class H2, class P2>
  void merge(unordered_flat_map<Key, T, H2, P2, Allocator>& source);
template<class H2, class P2>
  void merge(unordered_flat_map<Key, T, H2, P2, Allocator>&& source);
```

Move-inserts all the elements from `source` whose key is not already present in `*this`, and erases them from `source`.

template<class K>
  bool           contains(const K& k) const;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; A boolean indicating whether or not there is an element with key equal to `key` in the container
Notes:;; The `template<class K>` overload only participates in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs.

template<class K> mapped_type& operator[](K&& k);
```

[horizontal]
Effects:;; If the container does not already contain an element with a key equivalent to `k`, inserts the value `std::pair<key_type const, mapped_type>(k, mapped_type())`.
Returns:;; A reference to `x.second` where `x` is the element already in the container, or the newly inserted element with a key equivalent to `k`.
Throws:;; If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.
Notes:;; Can invalidate iterators, pointers and references, but only if the insert causes the load to be greater than the maximum load. +

Throws:;; An exception object of type `std::out_of_range` if no such element is present.
Notes:;; The `template<class K>` overloads only participate in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs.

=== Bucket Interface

==== bucket_count
```c++
size_type bucket_count() const noexcept;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The size of the bucket array.

---

=== Hash Policy

==== load_factor
```c++
float load_factor() const noexcept;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; `static_cast<float>(size())/static_cast<float>(bucket_count())`, or `0` if `bucket_count() == 0`.

---

==== max_load_factor

```c++
float max_load_factor() const noexcept;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; Returns the container's maximum load factor.

---

==== Set max_load_factor
```c++
void max_load_factor(float z);
```

[horizontal]
Effects:;; Does nothing, as the user is not allowed to change this parameter. Kept for compatibility with `boost::unordered_map`.

---


==== max_load

```c++
size_type max_load() const noexcept;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The maximum number of elements the container can hold without rehashing, assuming that no further elements will be erased.
Note:;; After construction, rehash or clearance, the container's maximum load is at least `max_load_factor() * bucket_count()`.
This number may decrease on erasure under high-load conditions.

---

==== rehash
```c++
void rehash(size_type n);
```

Changes if necessary the size of the bucket array so that there are at least `n` buckets, and so that the load factor is less than or equal to the maximum load factor. When applicable, this will either grow or shrink the `bucket_count()` associated with the container.

When `size() == 0`, `rehash(0)` will deallocate the underlying buckets array. If the provided Allocator uses fancy pointers, a default allocation is subsequently performed.

Invalidates iterators, pointers and references, and changes the order of elements.

[horizontal]
Throws:;; The function has no effect if an exception is thrown, unless it is thrown by the container's hash function or comparison function.

---

==== reserve
```c++
void reserve(size_type n);
```

Equivalent to `a.rehash(ceil(n / a.max_load_factor()))`.

Similar to `rehash`, this function can be used to grow or shrink the number of buckets in the container.

Invalidates iterators, pointers and references, and changes the order of elements.

[horizontal]
Throws:;; The function has no effect if an exception is thrown, unless it is thrown by the container's hash function or comparison function.

---

=== Statistics

==== get_stats
```c++
stats get_stats() const;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; A statistical description of the insertion and lookup operations performed by the container so far.
Notes:;; Only available if xref:stats[statistics calculation] is xref:unordered_flat_map_boost_unordered_enable_stats[enabled].

---

==== reset_stats
```c++
void reset_stats() noexcept;
```

[horizontal]
Effects:;; Sets to zero the internal statistics kept by the container.
Notes:;; Only available if xref:stats[statistics calculation] is xref:unordered_flat_map_boost_unordered_enable_stats[enabled].

---

=== Deduction Guides
A deduction guide will not participate in overload resolution if any of the following are true:

  - It has an `InputIterator` template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an input iterator is deduced for that parameter.
  - It has an `Allocator` template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  - It has a `Hash` template parameter and an integral type or a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  - It has a `Pred` template parameter and a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.

A `size_­type` parameter type in a deduction guide refers to the `size_­type` member type of the
container type deduced by the deduction guide. Its default value coincides with the default value
of the constructor selected.

=== Equality Comparisons

==== operator==
```c++
template<class Key, class T, class Hash, class Pred, class Alloc>
  bool operator==(const unordered_flat_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& x,
                  const unordered_flat_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& y);
```

Return `true` if `x.size() == y.size()` and for every element in `x`, there is an element in `y` with the same key, with an equal value (using `operator==` to compare the value types).

[horizontal]
Notes:;; Behavior is undefined if the two containers don't have equivalent equality predicates.

---

==== operator!=
```c++
template<class Key, class T, class Hash, class Pred, class Alloc>
  bool operator!=(const unordered_flat_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& x,
                  const unordered_flat_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& y);
```

Return `false` if `x.size() == y.size()` and for every element in `x`, there is an element in `y` with the same key, with an equal value (using `operator==` to compare the value types).

[horizontal]
Notes:;; Behavior is undefined if the two containers don't have equivalent equality predicates.

            unordered_flat_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& y)
    noexcept(noexcept(x.swap(y)));
```

Swaps the contents of `x` and `y`.

If `Allocator::propagate_on_container_swap` is declared and `Allocator::propagate_on_container_swap::value` is `true` then the containers' allocators are swapped. Otherwise, swapping with unequal allocators results in undefined behavior.

[horizontal]
Effects:;; `x.swap(y)`

```

Traverses the container `c` and removes all elements for which the supplied predicate returns `true`.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The number of erased elements.
Notes:;; Equivalent to: +
+
```c++
auto original_size = c.size();
for (auto i = c.begin(), last = c.end(); i != last; ) {
  if (pred(*i)) {
    i = c.erase(i);

=== Serialization

``unordered_flat_map``s can be archived/retrieved by means of
link:../../../serialization/index.html[Boost.Serialization^] using the API provided
by this library. Both regular and XML archives are supported. 

==== Saving an unordered_flat_map to an archive

Saves all the elements of an `unordered_flat_map` `x` to an archive (XML archive) `ar`.

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `std::remove_const<key_type>::type` and `std::remove_const<mapped_type>::type`
are serializable (XML serializable), and they do support Boost.Serialization
`save_construct_data`/`load_construct_data` protocol (automatically suported by
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible[DefaultConstructible^]
types).  

---

==== Loading an unordered_flat_map from an archive

Deletes all preexisting elements of an `unordered_flat_map` `x` and inserts
from an archive (XML archive) `ar` restored copies of the elements of the
original `unordered_flat_map` `other` saved to the storage read by `ar`.

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `x.key_equal()` is functionally equivalent to `other.key_equal()`.

---

==== Saving an iterator/const_iterator to an archive

Saves the positional information of an `iterator` (`const_iterator`) `it`
to an archive (XML archive) `ar`. `it` can be and `end()` iterator.

[horizontal]
Requires:;; The `unordered_flat_map` `x` pointed to by `it` has been previously saved to `ar`,
and no modifying operations have been issued on `x` between saving of `x` and
saving of `it`.

---

==== Loading an iterator/const_iterator from an archive

the original `iterator` (`const_iterator`) saved to the storage read by
an archive (XML archive) `ar`.
