Summary
Defined in header sfl/static_unordered_linear_multimap.hpp:
namespace sfl
{
template < typename Key,
typename T,
std::size_t N,
typename KeyEqual = std::equal_to<Key> >
class static_unordered_linear_multimap;
}
sfl::small_unordered_linear_multimap is an unordered associative container that contains an unsorted collection of key-value pairs, where multiple elements can have equivalent keys. Underlying storage is implemented as an unsorted static_vector, which has a fixed maximum capacity defined at compile time and is backed entirely by statically allocated storage. This container does not perform any dynamic memory allocation. The number of elements in this container cannot be greater than N. Attempting to insert more than N elements into this container results in undefined behavior. This design provides a compact and cache-friendly representation optimized for use cases where the maximum size is known in advance. It is also well-suited for bare-metal embedded development where predictable memory usage and no dynamic allocation are critical.
Complexity of search and remove operations is O(N). Complexity of insert operation is O(1).
Elements of this container are always stored contiguously in the memory.
Iterators to elements are random access iterators and they meet the requirements of LegacyRandomAccessIterator.
sfl::static_unordered_linear_multimap meets the requirements of Container and ContiguousContainer. The requirements of UnorderedAssociativeContainer are partionally met (this container doesn't use Hash).
sfl::static_unordered_linear_multimap can be used in C++20 constant expressions.
Note: Support for C++20 constant expressions is not fully mature in the major compilers (GCC, Clang, MSVC), so the following limitations apply:
- The
data()member function cannot be used in constant expressions. - On GCC, it is not possible to declare
constexprobjects ofstatic_unordered_linear_multimap. Clang and MSVC allow this, so this is a compiler-specific limitation (possibly a bug).
Template Parameters
-
typename KeyKey type.
-
typename TValue type.
-
std::size_t NSize of the internal statically allocated array, i.e. the maximal number of elements that this container can contain.
-
typename KeyEqualFunction for comparing keys.
