Category: containers
Component type: type

Description

A MultiKeyedSSkipList 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 Multiple 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 a Front Access Container meaning that the front of the list is available for retrieval, erasure and destruction in constant time.
It is a Back Access Container LOGN meaning that the back of the list is available for retrieval, erasure and destruction in logarithmic 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.

A MultiKeyedSSkipList has the important property that inserting a new element into a MultiKeyedSSkipList does not invalidate iterators that point to existing elements. Erasing an element from a MultiKeyedSSkipList also does not invalidate any iterators, except, of course, for iterators that actually point to the element that is being erased.

A MultiKeyedSSkipList acts like a map in functionality though the performance requirements are different in a few places.

A MultiKeyedSSkipList is a Reversible Container LOGN and uses a Bidirectional Iterator LOGN where decrementing takes logn time and incrementing takes constant time.
The iterator is also LessThan Comparable. See MultiKeyedSSkipList::T0 for more info.

Template parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
`K`	The `MultiKeyedSSkipList`'s key type. This is also defined as `MultiKeyedSSkipList::key_type`.
`T`	The `MultiKeyedSSkipList`'s data type. This is also defined as `MultiKeyedSSkipList::data_type`. `MultiKeyedSSkipList::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 `MultiKeyedSSkipList::key_compare`. `MultiKeyedSSkipList::value_compare` compares the key, but takes `MultiKeyedSSkipList::value_type` as parameters.	`less<K>`
`R`	The `MultiKeyedSSkipList`'s random number generator, used for selection of levels per node.	RNG

Notes

[1] MultiKeyedSSkipList::iterator is not a mutable iterator, because MultiKeyedSSkipList::value_type is not Assignable. That is, if i is of type MultiKeyedSSkipList::iterator and p is of type MultiKeyedSSkipList::value_type, then *i = p is not a valid expression. However, MultiKeyedSSkipList::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 MultiKeyedSSkipList::reverse_iterator.
