Category: containers
Component type: type

Description

An AutoKeyedSkipList acts like a combination of a map and vector in functionality though the performance requirements are different in a few places. It can be accessed by key or numerical index. The index is the automatically calculated position in the sorted list.

An AutoKeyedSkipList uses a Random Access Iterator LOGN. See AutoKeyedSkipList::T0 for more info.

An AutoKeyedSkipList is a Sorted Associative Container that associates objects of type K, the key, with objects of type T, the data.
It is a Pair Associative Container, meaning that its value type is pair<const K, T>.
It is a Random Access Container LOGN, meaning that an element may be numerically indexed in logarithmic time. Erase and Destroy may also be done by numerical index in logarithmic time.
It is a Unique Sorted Associative Container, meaning that no two elements have the same key.
It is a Associative Container LOGN, meaning that erasing of a single element is logarithmic.
It is a Destructive Associative Container LOGN, meaning that destroying (delete folowed by erase) single element or a range of elements is done in logarithmic time.
It is both a Front Access Container and a Back Access Container meaning that the front and back of the list are available for retrieval, erasure and destruction in constant time.

The Unique Sorted Associative Container and Multiple Sorted Associative Container requirements guarantee that inserting a range takes only linear time if the range is already sorted. Unfortunately, this has not been implemented yet and performs in the default nlogn time.

AutoKeyedSkipList iterators have an additional property that contains the index of the element. Erasing or inserting an element that comes after an existing iterator will have that iterator remain valid. All other iterators will have some functionality that will no longer work until the iterator is revalidated by invoking refresh(). refresh() may be called at any point in the future as long as the element pointed to by the iterator continues to exist in the container.

Here are operations that are always valid on AutoKeyedSkipList iterators.

All other operations require refresh() including all operations via the container requiring an iterator. It is recommended to not rely on the above list of functionality and simply invoke refresh() on existing iterators after inserting or deleting an element. Only Equality Comparable comparisons and dereferencing are guaranteed to be compatible with future versions.

WARNING: If key_type is size_t, then avoid using operator[](key). Use operator()(key) instead. operator[](size_t index) is used for accessing via index. So there is a collision in method definition. This means that operator[](TWrap<size_t>(key)) or operator()(size_t key) should be used instead. Not adhering to this warning will mean the key being used as a linear index instead.

Template parameters

Parameter Description Default
K The AutoKeyedSkipList's key type. This is also defined as AutoKeyedSkipList::key_type.  
T The AutoKeyedSkipList's data type. This is also defined as AutoKeyedSkipList::data_type. AutoKeyedSkipList::mapped_type is also defined to this value for convenience.  
Pr The key comparison function, a Strict Weak Ordering whose argument type is key_type; it returns true if its first argument is less than its second argument, and false otherwise.
This is also defined as AutoKeyedSkipList::key_compare. AutoKeyedSkipList::value_compare compares the key, but takes AutoKeyedSkipList::value_type as parameters.
less<K>
R The AutoKeyedSkipList's random number generator, used for selection of levels per node. RNG

Notes

[1] AutoKeyedSkipList::iterator is not a mutable iterator, because AutoKeyedSkipList::value_type is not Assignable. That is, if i is of type AutoKeyedSkipList::iterator and p is of type AutoKeyedSkipList::value_type, then *i = p is not a valid expression. However, AutoKeyedSkipList::iterator isn't a constant iterator either, because it can be used to modify the object that it points to for members that aren't used as part of the key. Using the same notation as above, i->member = p is a valid expression. The same point applies to AutoKeyedSkipList::reverse_iterator.
