Description

A set is a kind of associative container that supports unique keys (contains at most one of each key value) and provides for fast retrieval of the keys themselves. Class set supports bidirectional iterators.

A set satisfies all of the requirements of a container and of a reversible container , and of an associative container. A set also provides most operations described in for unique keys.

Template Parameters

  1. typename Key

    is the type to be inserted in the set, which is also the key_type

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

    is the comparison functor used to order keys

  3. typename Allocator = new_allocator<Key>

    is the allocator to be used to allocate memory for this container

  4. typename SetOptions = tree_assoc_defaults

    is an packed option type generated using using boost::container::tree_assoc_options.
