<h1>Tables</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Most of the requirements on containers are presented in the ISO standard
|
|
in the form of tables. In order to avoid massive duplication of effort
|
|
while documenting all the classes, we follow the standard's lead and
|
|
present the base information here. Individual classes will only document
|
|
their departures from these tables (removed functions, additional functions,
|
|
changes, etc).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We will not try to duplicate all of the surrounding text (footnotes,
|
|
explanations, etc.) from the standard, because that would also entail a
|
|
duplication of effort. Some of the surrounding text has been paraphrased
|
|
here for clarity. If you are uncertain about the meaning or interpretation
|
|
of these notes, consult a good textbook, and/or purchase your own copy of
|
|
the standard (it's cheap, see our FAQ).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The table numbers are the same as those used in the standard. Tables can
|
|
be jumped to using their number, e.g., "tables.html#67". Only
|
|
Tables 65 through 69 are presented. Some of the active Defect Reports
|
|
are also noted or incorporated.

Map, multimap, set, and multiset are such containers. An associative
|
|
container supports <em>unique keys</em> (and is written as
|
|
<code>a_uniq</code> instead of <code>a</code>) if it may contain at most

one element for each key. Otherwise it supports <em>equivalent keys</em>
|
|
(and is written <code>a_eq</code>). Examples of the former are set and map,

examples of the latter are multiset and multimap.
