|

The SGI hashing classes <code class="classname">hash_set</code> and
|
||
<code class="classname">hash_set</code> have been deprecated by the
|
||
unordered_set, unordered_multiset, unordered_map,
|
||
unordered_multimap containers in TR1 and C++11, and
|
||
may be removed in future releases.
|
||
</p><p>The SGI headers</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
<hash_map>
|
||
<hash_set>
|
||
<rope>
|
||
<slist>
|
||
<rb_tree>
|
||
</pre><p>are all here;
|
||
<code class="filename"><backwards/hash_map></code> and
|
||
<code class="filename"><backwards/hash_set></code>
|
||
are deprecated but available as backwards-compatible extensions,
|
||
as discussed further below.
|
||
<code class="filename"><ext/rope></code> is the SGI
|
||
specialization for large strings ("rope," "large strings," get it? Love
|
||
that geeky humor.)
|
||
<code class="filename"><ext/slist></code> (superseded in
|
||
C++11 by <code class="filename"><forward_list></code>)
|
||
is a singly-linked list, for when the doubly-linked <code class="code">list<></code>
|
||
is too much space overhead, and
|
||
<code class="filename"><ext/rb_tree></code> exposes the
|
||
red-black tree classes used in the implementation of the standard maps
|
||
and sets.
|
||
</p><p>Each of the associative containers map, multimap, set, and multiset
|
||
have a counterpart which uses a
|
||
<a class="link" href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/HashFunction.html" target="_top">hashing
|
||
function</a> to do the arranging, instead of a strict weak ordering
|
||
function. The classes take as one of their template parameters a
|
||
function object that will return the hash value; by default, an
|
||
instantiation of
|
||
<a class="link" href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/hash.html" target="_top">hash</a>.
|
||
You should specialize this functor for your class, or define your own,
|
||
before trying to use one of the hashing classes.
|
||
</p><p>The hashing classes support all the usual associative container
|
||
functions, as well as some extra constructors specifying the number
|
||
of buckets, etc.
|
||
</p><p>Why would you want to use a hashing class instead of the
|
||
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">normal</span>”</span>implementations? Matt Austern writes:

generally provide much better average-case performance than

binary search trees, and much worse worst-case performance. So

if your implementation has hash_map, if you don't mind using

nonstandard components, and if you aren't scared about the

The deprecated hash tables are superseded by the standard unordered
|

associative containers defined in the ISO C++ 2011 standard in the
|
||
headers <code class="filename"><unordered_map></code>
|
||
and <code class="filename"><unordered_set></code>.
