object::insert_or_assign

Insert an element or assign to the current element if the key already exists.

Synopsis

template<
    class M>
std::pair< iterator, bool >
insert_or_assign(
    string_view key,
    M&& m);

If the key equivalent to key already exists in the container, assigns std::forward<M>(m) to the mapped_type corresponding to the key. Otherwise, inserts the new value at the end as if by insert, constructing it from value_type(key, std::forward<M>(m)). If the insertion occurs and results in a rehashing of the container, all iterators and references are invalidated. Otherwise, they are not affected. Rehashing occurs only if the new number of elements is greater than capacity().

Complexity

Amortized constant on average, worst case linear in size().

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to memory_resource::allocate may throw.

Return Value

A std::pair where first is an iterator to the existing or inserted element, and second is true if the insertion took place or false if the assignment took place.

Parameters

Name	Description
`key`	The key used for lookup and insertion
`m`	The value to insert or assign

Exceptions

Type	Thrown On
boost::system::system_error	if key is too long.
