Description

Template Parameters

Key Key must be Erasable from the container (i.e. allocator_traits can destroy it).
Mapped Mapped must be Erasable from the container (i.e. allocator_traits can destroy it).
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 implements an equivalence relation on values of type Key. 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.
Alloc An allocator whose value type is the same as the container's value type.

The elements are organized into buckets. Keys with the same hash code are stored in the same bucket and elements with equivalent keys are stored next to each other.

The number of buckets can be automatically increased by a call to insert, or as the result of calling rehash.

unordered_multimap public construct/copy/destruct

  1. unordered_multimap();

    Constructs an empty container using hasher() as the hash function, key_equal() as the key equality predicate, allocator_type() as the allocator and a maximum load factor of 1.0.

    Postconditions:

    size() == 0

    Requires:

    If the defaults are used, hasher, key_equal and allocator_type need to be DefaultConstructible.

  2. explicit unordered_multimap(size_type n, hasher const& hf = hasher(), 
                                key_equal const& eq = key_equal(), 
                                allocator_type const& a = allocator_type());

    Constructs an empty container with at least n buckets, using hf as the hash function, eq as the key equality predicate, a as the allocator and a maximum load factor of 1.0.

    Postconditions:

    size() == 0

    Requires:

    If the defaults are used, hasher, key_equal and allocator_type need to be DefaultConstructible.

  3. template<typename InputIterator> 
      unordered_multimap(InputIterator f, InputIterator l, 
                         size_type n = implementation-defined, 
                         hasher const& hf = hasher(), 
                         key_equal const& eq = key_equal(), 
                         allocator_type const& a = allocator_type());

    Constructs an empty container with at least n buckets, using hf as the hash function, eq as the key equality predicate, a as the allocator and a maximum load factor of 1.0 and inserts the elements from [f, l) into it.

    Requires:

    If the defaults are used, hasher, key_equal and allocator_type need to be DefaultConstructible.

  4. unordered_multimap(unordered_multimap const&);

    The copy constructor. Copies the contained elements, hash function, predicate, maximum load factor and allocator.

  5. unordered_multimap(unordered_multimap &&);

    The move constructor.

    Notes:

    This is implemented using Boost.Move.

    Requires:

    value_type is move constructible.

    On compilers without rvalue reference support the emulation does not support moving without calling boost::move if value_type is not copyable. So, for example, you can't return the container from a function.

    Constructs an empty container, using allocator a.

  7. unordered_multimap(unordered_multimap const& x, Allocator const& a);

  8. unordered_multimap(unordered_multimap && x, Allocator const& a);

    Construct a container moving x's contained elements, and having the hash function, predicate and maximum load factor, but using allocate a.

    Notes:

    This is implemented using Boost.Move.

    Requires:

    value_type is move insertable.

  9. unordered_multimap(initializer_list<value_type> il,

    Postconditions:

    size() == 0

    Requires:

    hasher and key_equal need to be DefaultConstructible.

  11. unordered_multimap(size_type n, hasher const& hf, allocator_type const& a);

  13. template<typename InputIterator> 
      unordered_multimap(InputIterator f, InputIterator l, size_type n, 
                         hasher const& hf, allocator_type const& a);

    Constructs an empty container with at least n buckets, using hf as the hash function, a as the allocator, with the default key equality predicate and a maximum load factor of 1.0 and inserts the elements from [f, l) into it.

    Requires:

    key_equal needs to be DefaultConstructible.

  14. ~unordered_multimap();

    Notes:

    The destructor is applied to every element, and all memory is deallocated

unordered_multimap& operator=(unordered_multimap const&);

The assignment operator. Copies the contained elements, hash function, predicate and maximum load factor but not the allocator.

If Alloc::propagate_on_container_copy_assignment exists and Alloc::propagate_on_container_copy_assignment::value is true, the allocator is overwritten, if not the copied elements are created using the existing allocator.

Requires:

value_type is copy constructible

unordered_multimap& operator=(unordered_multimap &&);

The move assignment operator.

If Alloc::propagate_on_container_move_assignment exists and Alloc::propagate_on_container_move_assignment::value is true, the allocator is overwritten, if not the moved elements are created using the existing allocator.

Notes:

On compilers without rvalue references, this is emulated using Boost.Move. Note that on some compilers the copy assignment operator may be used in some circumstances.

Requires:

value_type is move constructible.

unordered_multimap& operator=(initializer_list<value_type>);

Assign from values in initializer list. All existing elements are either overwritten by the new elements or destroyed.

Requires:

value_type is CopyInsertable into the container and CopyAssignable.

allocator_type get_allocator() const;

unordered_multimap size and capacity

  1. bool empty() const;

    Returns:

    size() == 0
  2. size_type size() const;

    Returns:

    std::distance(begin(), end())
  3. size_type max_size() const;

    Returns:

    size() of the largest possible container.

unordered_multimap iterators

  1. iterator begin();
    const_iterator begin() const;

    Returns:

    An iterator referring to the first element of the container, or if the container is empty the past-the-end value for the container.
  2. iterator end();
    const_iterator end() const;

    Returns:

    An iterator which refers to the past-the-end value for the container.
  3. const_iterator cbegin() const;

    A constant iterator which refers to the past-the-end value for the container.

unordered_multimap modifiers

  1. template<typename... Args> iterator emplace(Args&&... args);

    Inserts an object, constructed with the arguments args, in the container.

    Requires:

    value_type is EmplaceConstructible into X from args.

    Returns:

    An iterator pointing to the inserted element.

    Throws:

    If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to hasher the function has no effect.

    Notes:

    Can invalidate iterators, but only if the insert causes the load factor to be greater to or equal to the maximum load factor.

    Pointers and references to elements are never invalidated.

    If the compiler doesn't support variadic template arguments or rvalue references, this is emulated for up to 10 arguments, with no support for rvalue references or move semantics.

    Since existing std::pair implementations don't support std::piecewise_construct this emulates it, but using boost::unordered::piecewise_construct.

  2. template<typename... Args> 
      iterator emplace_hint(const_iterator hint, Args&&... args);

    Inserts an object, constructed with the arguments args, in the container.

    hint is a suggestion to where the element should be inserted.

    Requires:

    value_type is EmplaceConstructible into X from args.

    Returns:

    An iterator pointing to the inserted element.

    Throws:

    If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to hasher the function has no effect.

    Notes:

    The standard is fairly vague on the meaning of the hint. But the only practical way to use it, and the only way that Boost.Unordered supports is to point to an existing element with the same key.

    Can invalidate iterators, but only if the insert causes the load factor to be greater to or equal to the maximum load factor.

    Pointers and references to elements are never invalidated.

    If the compiler doesn't support variadic template arguments or rvalue references, this is emulated for up to 10 arguments, with no support for rvalue references or move semantics.

    If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to hasher the function has no effect.

    Notes:

    Can invalidate iterators, but only if the insert causes the load factor to be greater to or equal to the maximum load factor.

    Pointers and references to elements are never invalidated.

    In C++17 this can be used to insert a node extracted from a compatible unordered_map, but that is not supported yet.

  13. iterator insert(const_iterator hint, node_type&& nh);

    If nh is empty, has no affect.

    Otherwise inserts the element owned by nh

    hint is a suggestion to where the element should be inserted.

    Requires:

    nh is empty or nh.get_allocator() is equal to the container's allocator.

    Returns:

    If nh was empty, returns end().

    Otherwise returns an iterator pointing to the newly inserted element.

    Throws:

    If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to hasher the function has no effect.

    Notes:

    The standard is fairly vague on the meaning of the hint. But the only practical way to use it, and the only way that Boost.Unordered supports is to point to an existing element with the same key.

    Can invalidate iterators, but only if the insert causes the load factor to be greater to or equal to the maximum load factor.

    Pointers and references to elements are never invalidated.

    In C++17 this can be used to insert a node extracted from a compatible unordered_map, but that is not supported yet.

  14. iterator erase(const_iterator position);

    Erase the element pointed to by position.

    Returns:

    The iterator following position before the erasure.

    Throws:

    Only throws an exception if it is thrown by hasher or key_equal.

    Notes:

    In older versions this could be inefficient because it had to search through several buckets to find the position of the returned iterator. The data structure has been changed so that this is no longer the case, and the alternative erase methods have been deprecated.

  15. size_type erase(key_type const& k);

    Erase all elements with key equivalent to k.

    Returns:

    The number of elements erased.

    Throws:

    Only throws an exception if it is thrown by hasher or key_equal.

  16. iterator erase(const_iterator first, const_iterator last);

    Erases the elements in the range from first to last.

    Returns:

    The iterator following the erased elements - i.e. last.

    Throws:

    Only throws an exception if it is thrown by hasher or key_equal.

    In this implementation, this overload doesn't call either function object's methods so it is no throw, but this might not be true in other implementations.

  17. void quick_erase(const_iterator position);

    Erase the element pointed to by position.

    Throws:

    Only throws an exception if it is thrown by hasher or key_equal.

    In this implementation, this overload doesn't call either function object's methods so it is no throw, but this might not be true in other implementations.

    Notes:

    This method was implemented because returning an iterator to the next element from erase was expensive, but the container has been redesigned so that is no longer the case. So this method is now deprecated.

  18. void erase_return_void(const_iterator position);

    Erase the element pointed to by position.

    Throws:

    Only throws an exception if it is thrown by hasher or key_equal.

    In this implementation, this overload doesn't call either function object's methods so it is no throw, but this might not be true in other implementations.

    Notes:

    This method was implemented because returning an iterator to the next element from erase was expensive, but the container has been redesigned so that is no longer the case. So this method is now deprecated.

  19. void clear();

    Erases all elements in the container.

    Postconditions:

    size() == 0

    Throws:

    Never throws an exception.

  20. void swap(unordered_multimap&);

    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.

    Throws:

    Doesn't throw an exception unless it is thrown by the copy constructor or copy assignment operator of key_equal or hasher.

    Notes:

    The exception specifications aren't quite the same as the C++11 standard, as the equality predieate and hash function are swapped using their copy constructors.

  21. template<typename H2, typename P2> 
       merge(unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, H2, P2, Alloc>& source);

    Notes:

    Does not support merging with a compatible unordered_map yet.

  22. template<typename H2, typename P2> 
       merge(unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, H2, P2, Alloc>&& source);

    Notes:

    Does not support merging with a compatible unordered_map yet.

    Returns:

    The container's key equality predicate.

unordered_multimap lookup

  1. iterator find(key_type const& k);
    const_iterator find(key_type const& k) const;
    template<typename CompatibleKey, typename CompatibleHash,

      const_iterator 
      find(CompatibleKey const& k, CompatibleHash const& hash, 
           CompatiblePredicate const& eq) const;

    Returns:

    An iterator pointing to an element with key equivalent to k, or b.end() if no such element exists.

    Notes:

    The templated overloads are a non-standard extensions which allows you to use a compatible hash function and equality predicate for a key of a different type in order to avoid an expensive type cast. In general, its use is not encouraged.

  2. size_type count(key_type const& k) const;

    Returns:

    The number of elements with key equivalent to k.

  3. std::pair<iterator, iterator> equal_range(key_type const& k);
    std::pair<const_iterator, const_iterator> equal_range(key_type const& k) const;

    Returns:

    A range containing all elements with key equivalent to k. If the container doesn't container any such elements, returns std::make_pair(b.end(),b.end()).

    Returns:

    The average number of elements per bucket.

  2. float max_load_factor() const;

    Returns:

    Returns the current maximum load factor.

  3. void max_load_factor(float z);

    Effects:

    Changes the container's maximum load factor, using z as a hint.

  4. void rehash(size_type n);

    Changes the number of buckets so that there at least n buckets, and so that the load factor is less than the maximum load factor.

    Invalidates iterators, and changes the order of elements. Pointers and references to elements are not invalidated.

    Throws:

    The function has no effect if an exception is thrown, unless it is thrown by the container's hash function or comparison function.

  5. void reserve(size_type n);

    Invalidates iterators, and changes the order of elements. Pointers and references to elements are not invalidated.

    Throws:

    The function has no effect if an exception is thrown, unless it is thrown by the container's hash function or comparison function.

unordered_multimap Equality Comparisons

  1. template<typename Key, typename Mapped, typename Hash, typename Pred, 
             typename Alloc> 
      bool operator==(unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc> const& x, 
                      unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc> const& y);

    Return true if x.size() == y.size and for every equivalent key group in x, there is a group in y for the same key, which is a permutation (using operator== to compare the value types).

    Notes:

    The behavior of this function was changed to match the C++11 standard in Boost 1.48.

    Behavior is undefined if the two containers don't have equivalent equality predicates.

  2. template<typename Key, typename Mapped, typename Hash, typename Pred, 
             typename Alloc> 
      bool operator!=(unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc> const& x, 
                      unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc> const& y);

    Return false if x.size() == y.size and for every equivalent key group in x, there is a group in y for the same key, which is a permutation (using operator== to compare the value types).

    Notes:

    The behavior of this function was changed to match the C++11 standard in Boost 1.48.

    Behavior is undefined if the two containers don't have equivalent equality predicates.

unordered_multimap swap

  1. template<typename Key, typename Mapped, typename Hash, typename Pred, 
             typename Alloc> 
      void swap(unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& x, 
                unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& 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.

    Effects:

    x.swap(y)

    Throws:

    Doesn't throw an exception unless it is thrown by the copy constructor or copy assignment operator of key_equal or hasher.

    Notes:

    The exception specifications aren't quite the same as the C++11 standard, as the equality predieate and hash function are swapped using their copy constructors.
