All icl types are regular types. They are default constructible, copy constructible and assignable. On icl Sets and Maps a swap function is available, that allows for constant time swapping of container contents. The regular and swappable part of the basic functions and their complexities are described in the tables below.

Construct, copy, destruct

Description

T::T()

Object of type T is default constructed.

T::T(const T& src)

Object of type T is copy constructed from object src.

T& T::operator=(const T& src)

Assigns the contents of src to *this object. Returns a reference to the assigned object.

void T::swap(T& src)

Swaps the content containers *this and src in constant time.

In addition we have overloads of constructors and assignment operators for icl container types.

// overload tables for constructors
T::T(const P& src)

element containers:     interval containers:  
T \ P | e b s m         T \ P | e i b p S M    
------+--------         ------+------------    
s     | s   s           S     | S S     S       
m     |   m   m         M     |     M M   M    

For an object dst of type T and an argument src of type P let

n = iterative_size(dst);
m = iterative_size(src);

in the following tables.

interval containers:  
T \ P | S M    
------+----    
S     | S       
M     |   M    

The assignment T& operator = (const P& src) is overloaded within interval containers. For all type combinations we have linear time complexity in the maximum of the iterative_size of dst and src.
