boost::hash<Value>
std::equal_to<Value>
std::allocator<Value>

An unordered associative container that stores unique values.

Template Parameters

Value | `Value` must be `Erasable` from the container (i.e. `allocator_traits` can `destroy` it).
Hash | A unary function object type that acts a hash function for a `Value`. It takes a single argument of type `Value` and returns a value of type std::size_t.
Pred | A binary function object that implements an equivalence relation on values of type `Value`. A binary function object that induces an equivalence relation on values of type `Value`. It takes two arguments of type `Value` and returns a value of type bool.
Alloc | An allocator whose value type is the same as the container's value type.

The elements are organized into buckets. Keys with the same hash code are stored in the same bucket.

The number of buckets can be automatically increased by a call to insert, or as the result of calling rehash.

If the defaults are used, `hasher`, `key_equal` and `allocator_type` need to be `DefaultConstructible`.

unordered_set const&

The copy constructor. Copies the contained elements, hash function, predicate, maximum load factor and allocator.

If `Allocator::select_on_container_copy_construction` exists and has the right signature, the allocator will be constructed from its result.

`value_type` is copy constructible

unordered_set &&

The move constructor.

This is implemented using Boost.Move.

`value_type` is move constructible.

On compilers without rvalue reference support the emulation does not support moving without calling `boost::move` if `value_type` is not copyable. So, for example, you can't return the container from a function.

Allocator const&

Constructs an empty container, using allocator `a`.

unordered_set const&
Allocator const&

Constructs an container, copying `x`'s contained elements, hash function, predicate, maximum load factor, but using allocator `a`.

unordered_set const&
unordered_set&

The assignment operator. Copies the contained elements, hash function, predicate and maximum load factor but not the allocator.

If `Alloc::propagate_on_container_copy_assignment` exists and `Alloc::propagate_on_container_copy_assignment::value` is true, the allocator is overwritten, if not the copied elements are created using the existing allocator.

`value_type` is copy constructible

unordered_set &&
unordered_set&

The move assignment operator.

If `Alloc::propagate_on_container_move_assignment` exists and `Alloc::propagate_on_container_move_assignment::value` is true, the allocator is overwritten, if not the moved elements are created using the existing allocator.

On compilers without rvalue references, this is emulated using Boost.Move. Note that on some compilers the copy assignment operator may be used in some circumstances.

Args&&
std::pair<iterator, bool>

Inserts an object, constructed with the arguments `args`, in the container if and only if there is no element in the container with an equivalent value.

`value_type` is `EmplaceConstructible` into `X` from `args`.

The bool component of the return type is true if an insert took place.

If an insert took place, then the iterator points to the newly inserted element. Otherwise, it points to the element with equivalent value.

If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.

Can invalidate iterators, but only if the insert causes the load factor to be greater to or equal to the maximum load factor.

Pointers and references to elements are never invalidated.

If the compiler doesn't support variadic template arguments or rvalue references, this is emulated for up to 10 arguments, with no support for rvalue references or move semantics.

Since existing `std::pair` implementations don't support `std::piecewise_construct` this emulates it, but using `boost::unordered::piecewise_construct`.

const_iterator
Args&&
iterator

Inserts an object, constructed with the arguments `args`, in the container if and only if there is no element in the container with an equivalent value.

`hint` is a suggestion to where the element should be inserted.

`value_type` is `EmplaceConstructible` into `X` from `args`.

If an insert took place, then the iterator points to the newly inserted element. Otherwise, it points to the element with equivalent value.

If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.

The standard is fairly vague on the meaning of the hint. But the only practical way to use it, and the only way that Boost.Unordered supports is to point to an existing element with the same value.

The iterator following `position` before the erasure.

Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.

bool

Return `true` if `x.size() == y.size` and for every equivalent key group in `x`, there is a group in `y` for the same key, which is a permutation (using `operator==` to compare the value types).

The behavior of this function was changed to match the C++11 standard in Boost 1.48.

Behavior is undefined if the two containers don't have equivalent equality predicates.

Swaps the contents of `x` and `y`.

If `Allocator::propagate_on_container_swap` is declared and `Allocator::propagate_on_container_swap::value` is true then the containers' allocators are swapped. Otherwise, swapping with unequal allocators results in undefined behavior.

Doesn't throw an exception unless it is thrown by the copy constructor or copy assignment operator of `key_equal` or `hasher`.

The exception specifications aren't quite the same as the C++11 standard, as the equality predieate and hash function are swapped using their copy constructors.

boost::hash<Key>
std::equal_to<Key>
std::allocator<std::pair<Key const, Mapped>>

An unordered associative container that associates unique keys with another value.

Template Parameters

Key | `Key` must be `Erasable` from the container (i.e. `allocator_traits` can `destroy` it).
Mapped | `Mapped` must be `Erasable` from the container (i.e. `allocator_traits` can `destroy` it).
Hash | A unary function object type that acts a hash function for a `Key`. It takes a single argument of type `Key` and returns a value of type std::size_t.
Pred | A binary function object that implements an equivalence relation on values of type `Key`. A binary function object that induces an equivalence relation on values of type `Key`. It takes two arguments of type `Key` and returns a value of type bool.

The elements are organized into buckets. Keys with the same hash code are stored in the same bucket.

The number of buckets can be automatically increased by a call to insert, or as the result of calling rehash.

The move constructor.

This is implemented using Boost.Move.

`value_type` is move constructible.

On compilers without rvalue reference support the emulation does not support moving without calling `boost::move` if `value_type` is not copyable. So, for example, you can't return the container from a function.

std::pair<iterator, bool>

Inserts an object, constructed with the arguments `args`, in the container if and only if there is no element in the container with an equivalent key.

`value_type` is `EmplaceConstructible` into `X` from `args`.

The bool component of the return type is true if an insert took place.

If an insert took place, then the iterator points to the newly inserted element. Otherwise, it points to the element with equivalent key.

If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.

Can invalidate iterators, but only if the insert causes the load factor to be greater to or equal to the maximum load factor.

Pointers and references to elements are never invalidated.

If the compiler doesn't support variadic template arguments or rvalue references, this is emulated for up to 10 arguments, with no support for rvalue references or move semantics.

If an insert took place, then the iterator points to the newly inserted element. Otherwise, it points to the element with equivalent key.

If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.

The standard is fairly vague on the meaning of the hint. But the only practical way to use it, and the only way that Boost.Unordered supports is to point to an existing element with the same key.

const_iterator

Erase the element pointed to by `position`.

The iterator following `position` before the erasure.

Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.

The standard is fairly vague on the meaning of the hint. But the only practical way to use it, and the only way that Boost.Unordered supports is to point to an existing element with the same key.

Can invalidate iterators, but only if the insert causes the load factor to be greater to or equal to the maximum load factor.

Pointers and references to elements are never invalidated.

If the compiler doesn't support variadic template arguments or rvalue references, this is emulated for up to 10 arguments, with no support for rvalue references or move semantics.

Since existing `std::pair` implementations don't support `std::piecewise_construct` this emulates it, but using `boost::unordered::piecewise_construct`.

InputIterator
InputIterator
void

Inserts a range of elements into the container. Elements are inserted if and only if there is no element in the container with an equivalent key.

`value_type` is `EmplaceConstructible` into `X` from `*first`.

When inserting a single element, if an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.

Can invalidate iterators, but only if the insert causes the load factor to be greater to or equal to the maximum load factor.

Pointers and references to elements are never invalidated.

const_iterator
iterator

Erase the element pointed to by `position`.

The iterator following `position` before the erasure.

Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.

In older versions this could be inefficient because it had to search through several buckets to find the position of the returned iterator. The data structure has been changed so that this is no longer the case, and the alternative erase methods have been deprecated.

key_type const&
size_type

Erase all elements with key equivalent to `k`.

The number of elements erased.

Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.

const_iterator
const_iterator
iterator

Erases the elements in the range from `first` to `last`.

The iterator following the erased elements - i.e. `last`.

Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.

In this implementation, this overload doesn't call either function object's methods so it is no throw, but this might not be true in other implementations.

const_iterator
void

Erase the element pointed to by `position`.

Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.

In this implementation, this overload doesn't call either function object's methods so it is no throw, but this might not be true in other implementations.

This method was implemented because returning an iterator to the next element from `erase` was expensive, but the container has been redesigned so that is no longer the case. So this method is now deprecated.

void

Erases all elements in the container.

``size`() == 0`

Never throws an exception.

unordered_multimap&
void

Swaps the contents of the container with the parameter.

If `Allocator::propagate_on_container_swap` is declared and `Allocator::propagate_on_container_swap::value` is true then the containers' allocators are swapped. Otherwise, swapping with unequal allocators results in undefined behavior.

Doesn't throw an exception unless it is thrown by the copy constructor or copy assignment operator of `key_equal` or `hasher`.

The exception specifications aren't quite the same as the C++11 standard, as the equality predieate and hash function are swapped using their copy constructors.

hasher The container's hash function.
key_equal The container's key equality predicate.

const_iterator

An iterator pointing to an element with key equivalent to `k`, or `b.end()` if no such element exists.

The templated overloads are a non-standard extensions which allows you to use a compatible hash function and equality predicate for a key of a different type in order to avoid an expensive type cast. In general, its use is not encouraged.

key_type const&
size_type

The number of elements with key equivalent to `k`.

key_type const&
std::pair<iterator, iterator>
key_type const&
std::pair<const_iterator, const_iterator>

A range containing all elements with key equivalent to `k`. If the container doesn't container any such elements, returns `std::make_pair(`b.end`(),`b.end`())`.

size_type

The number of buckets.

size_type

An upper bound on the number of buckets.

size_type
size_type

`n < `bucket_count`()`

The number of elements in bucket `n`.

Returns the current maximum load factor.

float
void

Changes the container's maximum load factor, using `z` as a hint.

size_type
void

Changes the number of buckets so that there at least `n` buckets, and so that the load factor is less than the maximum load factor.

Invalidates iterators, and changes the order of elements. Pointers and references to elements are not invalidated.

The function has no effect if an exception is thrown, unless it is thrown by the container's hash function or comparison function.

unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc> const&
unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc> const&
bool

Return `true` if `x.size() == y.size` and for every equivalent key group in `x`, there is a group in `y` for the same key, which is a permutation (using `operator==` to compare the value types).

The behavior of this function was changed to match the C++11 standard in Boost 1.48.

Behavior is undefined if the two containers don't have equivalent equality predicates.

unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc> const&
unordered_multimap<Key, Mapped, Hash, Pred, Alloc> const&
