=== Description

*Template Parameters*

[cols="1,1"]
|===

|_Key_
|`Key` must be https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Erasable[Erasable^] from the container (i.e. `allocator_traits` can destroy it).

|_T_
|`T` must be https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Erasable[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.

|_Allocator_
|An allocator whose value type is the same as the container's value type.
Allocators using https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Allocator#Fancy_pointers[fancy pointers] are supported.

|===

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.

=== Configuration macros

==== `BOOST_UNORDERED_ENABLE_SERIALIZATION_COMPATIBILITY_V0`

Globally define this macro to support loading of ``unordered_map``s saved to
a Boost.Serialization archive with a version of Boost prior to Boost 1.84.

=== Typedefs

[source,c++,subs=+quotes]
----
typedef _implementation-defined_ iterator;
----

An iterator whose value type is `value_type`.

The iterator category is at least a forward iterator.

Convertible to `const_iterator`.

---

[source,c++,subs=+quotes]
----
typedef _implementation-defined_ const_iterator;
----

A constant iterator whose value type is `value_type`.

The iterator category is at least a forward iterator.

---

[source,c++,subs=+quotes]
----
typedef _implementation-defined_ local_iterator;
----

An iterator with the same value type, difference type and pointer and reference type as iterator.

A `local_iterator` object can be used to iterate through a single bucket.

---

[source,c++,subs=+quotes]
----
typedef _implementation-defined_ const_local_iterator;
----

A constant iterator with the same value type, difference type and pointer and reference type as const_iterator.

A const_local_iterator object can be used to iterate through a single bucket.

---

[source,c++,subs=+quotes]
----
typedef _implementation-defined_ node_type;
----

A class for holding extracted container elements, modelling

=== Modifiers

==== emplace
```c++
template<class... Args> std::pair<iterator, bool> emplace(Args&&... args);

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `value_type` is https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/EmplaceConstructible[EmplaceConstructible^] into `X` from `args`.
Returns:;; 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.

  std::pair<iterator, bool> insert_or_assign(K&& k, M&& obj);
```

Inserts a new element into the container or updates an existing one by assigning to the contained value.

If there is an element with key `k`, then it is updated by assigning `std::forward<M>(obj)`.

If there is no such element, it is added to the container as:
```c++

```

Inserts a new element into the container or updates an existing one by assigning to the contained value.

If there is an element with key `k`, then it is updated by assigning `std::forward<M>(obj)`.

If there is no such element, it is added to the container as:
```c++
// first two overloads
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,
           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Key>(k)),
           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<M>(obj)))

// third overload
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,
           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<K>(k)),
           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<M>(obj)))
```

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

[horizontal]
Returns:;; If an insert took place, then the iterator points to the newly inserted element. Otherwise, it points to the element with equivalent key.
Throws:;; If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.
Notes:;; 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. +
+
The `template<class K, class M>` only participates in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs. The library assumes that `Hash` is callable with both `K` and `Key` and that `Pred` is transparent. This enables heterogeneous lookup which avoids the cost of instantiating an instance of the `Key` type.

---

==== Extract by Iterator
```c++
node_type extract(const_iterator position);
```

Removes the element pointed to by `position`.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; A `node_type` owning the element.
Notes:;; A node extracted using this method can be inserted into a compatible `unordered_multimap`.

---

==== Extract by Key
```c++
node_type extract(const key_type& k);
template<class K> node_type extract(K&& k);
```

Removes an element with key equivalent to `k`.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; A `node_type` owning the element if found, otherwise an empty `node_type`.
Throws:;; Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.
Notes:;; A node extracted using this method can be inserted into a compatible `unordered_multimap`. +
+
The `template<class K>`  overload only participates in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs and neither `iterator` nor `const_iterator` are implicitly convertible from `K`. The library assumes that `Hash` is callable with both `K` and `Key` and that `Pred` is transparent. This enables heterogeneous lookup which avoids the cost of instantiating an instance of the `Key` type.

---

==== Insert with `node_handle`
```c++
insert_return_type insert(node_type&& nh);
```

If `nh` is empty, has no effect.

Otherwise inserts the element owned by `nh` if and only if there is no element in the container with an equivalent key.

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `nh` is empty or `nh.get_allocator()` is equal to the container's allocator.
Returns:;; If `nh` was empty, returns an `insert_return_type` with: `inserted` equal to `false`, `position` equal to `end()` and `node` empty. +
+
Otherwise if there was already an element with an equivalent key, returns an `insert_return_type` with: `inserted` equal to `false`, `position` pointing to a matching element and `node` contains the node from `nh`. +
+
Otherwise if the insertion succeeded, returns an `insert_return_type` with: `inserted` equal to `true`, `position` pointing to the newly inserted element and `node` empty.
Throws:;; If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.
Notes:;; 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. +
+
This can be used to insert a node extracted from a compatible `unordered_multimap`.

---

==== Insert with Hint and `node_handle`
```c++
iterator insert(const_iterator hint, node_type&& nh);
```

If `nh` is empty, has no effect.

Otherwise inserts the element owned by `nh` if and only if there is no element in the container with an equivalent key.

If there is already an element in the container with an equivalent key has no effect on `nh` (i.e. `nh` still contains the node.)

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

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `nh` is empty or `nh.get_allocator()` is equal to the container's allocator.
Returns:;; If `nh` was empty returns `end()`. +
+
If there was already an element in the container with an equivalent key returns an iterator pointing to that. +
+
Otherwise returns an iterator pointing to the newly inserted element.
Throws:;; If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to hasher the function has no effect.
Notes:;; 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. +
+
This can be used to insert a node extracted from a compatible `unordered_multimap`.

---

==== Erase by Position

```c++
iterator erase(iterator position);
iterator erase(const_iterator position);
```

Erase the element pointed to by `position`.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The iterator following `position` before the erasure.
Throws:;; Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.
Notes:;; 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.

---

==== Erase by Key
```c++
size_type erase(const key_type& k);
template<class K> size_type erase(K&& k);
```

Erase all elements with key equivalent to `k`.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The number of elements erased.
Throws:;; Only throws an exception if it is thrown by `hasher` or `key_equal`.
Notes:;; The `template<class K>` overload only participates in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs and neither `iterator` nor `const_iterator` are implicitly convertible from `K`. The library assumes that `Hash` is callable with both `K` and `Key` and that `Pred` is transparent. This enables heterogeneous lookup which avoids the cost of instantiating an instance of the `Key` type.

---

==== Erase Range

```c++
iterator erase(const_iterator first, const_iterator last);
```

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

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The iterator following the erased elements - i.e. `last`.
Throws:;; 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.

---

==== quick_erase
```c++
void quick_erase(const_iterator position);
```

Erase the element pointed to by `position`.

[horizontal]
Throws:;; 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.
Notes:;; 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.

---

==== erase_return_void
```c++
void erase_return_void(const_iterator position);
```

Erase the element pointed to by `position`.

[horizontal]
Throws:;; 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.
Notes:;; 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.

---

==== swap
```c++
void swap(unordered_map& other)
  noexcept(boost::allocator_traits<Allocator>::is_always_equal::value &&
           boost::is_nothrow_swappable_v<Hash> &&
           boost::is_nothrow_swappable_v<Pred>);
```

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.

[horizontal]
Throws:;; Doesn't throw an exception unless it is thrown by the copy constructor or copy assignment operator of `key_equal` or `hasher`.
Notes:;; The exception specifications aren't quite the same as the C++11 standard, as the equality predicate and hash function are swapped using their copy constructors.

---

==== clear
```c++
void clear();
```

Erases all elements in the container.

[horizontal]
Postconditions:;; `size() == 0`
Throws:;; Never throws an exception.

---

==== merge
```c++
template<class H2, class P2>
  void merge(unordered_map<Key, T, H2, P2, Allocator>& source);
template<class H2, class P2>
  void merge(unordered_map<Key, T, H2, P2, Allocator>&& source);
template<class H2, class P2>
  void merge(unordered_multimap<Key, T, H2, P2, Allocator>& source);
template<class H2, class P2>
  void merge(unordered_multimap<Key, T, H2, P2, Allocator>&& source);
```

Attempt to "merge" two containers by iterating `source` and extracting any node in `source` that is not contained
in `*this` and then inserting it into `*this`.

Because `source` can have a different hash function and key equality predicate, the key of each node in
`source` is rehashed using `this\->hash_function()` and then, if required, compared using `this\->key_eq()`.

The behavior of this function is undefined if `this\->get_allocator() != source.get_allocator()`.

This function does not copy or move any elements and instead simply relocates the nodes from `source`
into `*this`.

[horizontal]
Notes:;;
+
--
* Pointers and references to transferred elements remain valid.
* Invalidates iterators to transferred elements.
* Invalidates iterators belonging to `*this`.
* Iterators to non-transferred elements in `source` remain valid.

  const_iterator find(CompatibleKey const& k, CompatibleHash const& hash,
                      CompatiblePredicate const& eq) const;

```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; An iterator pointing to an element with key equivalent to `k`, or `b.end()` if no such element exists.
Notes:;; The templated overloads containing `CompatibleKey`, `CompatibleHash` and `CompatiblePredicate` are non-standard extensions which allow 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 and instead the `K` member function templates should be used. +
+
The `template<class K>` overloads only participate in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs. The library assumes that `Hash` is callable with both `K` and `Key` and that `Pred` is transparent.

Returns:;; A boolean indicating whether or not there is an element with key equal to `key` in the container
Notes:;; The `template<class K>` overload only participates in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs. The library assumes that `Hash` is callable with both `K` and `Key` and that `Pred` is transparent.

template<class K>
  std::pair<const_iterator, const_iterator> equal_range(const K& k) const;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; A range containing all elements with key equivalent to `k`. If the container doesn't contain any such elements, returns `std::make_pair(b.end(), b.end())`.
Notes:;; The `template<class K>` overloads only participate in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs.

==== operator++[++++]++
```c++
mapped_type& operator[](const key_type& k);
mapped_type& operator[](key_type&& k);
template<class K> mapped_type& operator[](K&& k);
```

[horizontal]
Effects:;; If the container does not already contain an elements with a key equivalent to `k`, inserts the value `std::pair<key_type const, mapped_type>(k, mapped_type())`.
Returns:;; A reference to `x.second` where `x` is the element already in the container, or the newly inserted element with a key equivalent to `k`.
Throws:;; If an exception is thrown by an operation other than a call to `hasher` the function has no effect.
Notes:;; Can invalidate iterators, but only if the insert causes the load factor to be greater to or equal to the maximum load factor. +

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The number of buckets.

---

==== max_bucket_count
```c++
size_type max_bucket_count() const noexcept;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; An upper bound on the number of buckets.

---

==== bucket_size
```c++
size_type bucket_size(size_type n) const;
```

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `n < bucket_count()`
Returns:;; The number of elements in bucket `n`.

---

==== bucket
```c++
size_type bucket(const key_type& k) const;
template<class K> size_type bucket(const K& k) const;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The index of the bucket which would contain an element with key `k`.
Postconditions:;; The return value is less than `bucket_count()`.
Notes:;; The `template<class K>` overload only participates in overload resolution if `Hash::is_transparent` and `Pred::is_transparent` are valid member typedefs.

---

==== begin

```c++

```c++
local_iterator end(size_type n);
const_local_iterator end(size_type n) const;

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `n` shall be in the range `[0, bucket_count())`.
Returns:;; A local iterator pointing the 'one past the end' element in the bucket with index `n`.

---

==== cbegin
```c++
const_local_iterator cbegin(size_type n) const;
```

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `n` shall be in the range `[0, bucket_count())`.

=== Hash Policy

==== load_factor
```c++
float load_factor() const noexcept;
```

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The average number of elements per bucket.

---

==== max_load_factor

```c++

---

==== Set max_load_factor
```c++
void max_load_factor(float z);
```

[horizontal]
Effects:;; Changes the container's maximum load factor, using `z` as a hint.

---


==== rehash
```c++
void rehash(size_type n);
```

Changes the number of buckets so that there are at least `n` buckets, and so that the load factor is less than or equal to the maximum load factor. When applicable, this will either grow or shrink the `bucket_count()` associated with the container.

When `size() == 0`, `rehash(0)` will deallocate the underlying buckets array.

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

[horizontal]
Throws:;; The function has no effect if an exception is thrown, unless it is thrown by the container's hash function or comparison function.

---

==== reserve
```c++
void reserve(size_type n);
```

Equivalent to `a.rehash(ceil(n / a.max_load_factor()))`, or `a.rehash(1)` if `n > 0` and `a.max_load_factor() == std::numeric_limits<float>::infinity()`.

Similar to `rehash`, this function can be used to grow or shrink the number of buckets in the container.

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

[horizontal]
Throws:;; The function has no effect if an exception is thrown, unless it is thrown by the container's hash function or comparison function.

=== Deduction Guides
A deduction guide will not participate in overload resolution if any of the following are true:

  - It has an `InputIterator` template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an input iterator is deduced for that parameter.
  - It has an `Allocator` template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  - It has a `Hash` template parameter and an integral type or a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  - It has a `Pred` template parameter and a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.

A `size_­type` parameter type in a deduction guide refers to the `size_­type` member type of the
container type deduced by the deduction guide. Its default value coincides with the default value
of the constructor selected.

=== Equality Comparisons

==== operator==
```c++
template<class Key, class T, class Hash, class Pred, class Alloc>
  bool operator==(const unordered_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& x,
                  const unordered_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& y);
```

Return `true` if `x.size() == y.size()` and for every element in `x`, there is an element in `y` with the same key, with an equal value (using `operator==` to compare the value types).

[horizontal]
Notes:;; Behavior is undefined if the two containers don't have equivalent equality predicates.

---

==== operator!=
```c++
template<class Key, class T, class Hash, class Pred, class Alloc>
  bool operator!=(const unordered_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& x,
                  const unordered_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& y);
```

Return `false` if `x.size() == y.size()` and for every element in `x`, there is an element in `y` with the same key, with an equal value (using `operator==` to compare the value types).

[horizontal]
Notes:;; Behavior is undefined if the two containers don't have equivalent equality predicates.

=== Swap
```c++
template<class Key, class T, class Hash, class Pred, class Alloc>
  void swap(unordered_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& x,
            unordered_map<Key, T, Hash, Pred, Alloc>& y)
    noexcept(noexcept(x.swap(y)));
```

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.

[horizontal]
Effects:;; `x.swap(y)`
Throws:;; Doesn't throw an exception unless it is thrown by the copy constructor or copy assignment operator of `key_equal` or `hasher`.
Notes:;; The exception specifications aren't quite the same as the C++11 standard, as the equality predicate and hash function are swapped using their copy constructors.

---

=== erase_if
```c++
template<class K, class T, class H, class P, class A, class Predicate>
  typename unordered_map<K, T, H, P, A>::size_type
    erase_if(unordered_map<K, T, H, P, A>& c, Predicate pred);
```

Traverses the container `c` and removes all elements for which the supplied predicate returns `true`.

[horizontal]
Returns:;; The number of erased elements.
Notes:;; Equivalent to: +
+
```c++
auto original_size = c.size();
for (auto i = c.begin(), last = c.end(); i != last; ) {
  if (pred(*i)) {
    i = c.erase(i);
  } else {

```

=== Serialization

``unordered_map``s can be archived/retrieved by means of
link:../../../serialization/index.html[Boost.Serialization^] using the API provided
by this library. Both regular and XML archives are supported. 

==== Saving an unordered_map to an archive

Saves all the elements of an `unordered_map` `x` to an archive (XML archive) `ar`.

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `std::remove_const<key_type>::type` and `std::remove_const<mapped_type>::type`
are serializable (XML serializable), and they do support Boost.Serialization
`save_construct_data`/`load_construct_data` protocol (automatically suported by
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible[DefaultConstructible^]
types).  

---

==== Loading an unordered_map from an archive

Deletes all preexisting elements of an `unordered_map` `x` and inserts
from an archive (XML archive) `ar` restored copies of the elements of the
original `unordered_map` `other` saved to the storage read by `ar`.

[horizontal]
Requires:;; `value_type` is https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/EmplaceConstructible[EmplaceConstructible^]
from `(std::remove_const<key_type>::type&&, std::remove_const<mapped_type>::type&&)`.
`x.key_equal()` is functionally equivalent to `other.key_equal()`.
Note:;; If the archive was saved using a release of Boost prior to Boost 1.84,
the configuration macro `BOOST_UNORDERED_ENABLE_SERIALIZATION_COMPATIBILITY_V0`
has to be globally defined for this operation to succeed; otherwise, an exception is thrown.

---

==== Saving an iterator/const_iterator to an archive

Saves the positional information of an `iterator` (`const_iterator`) `it`
to an archive (XML archive) `ar`. `it` can be and `end()` iterator.

[horizontal]
Requires:;; The `unordered_map` `x` pointed to by `it` has been previously saved to `ar`,
and no modifying operations have been issued on `x` between saving of `x` and
saving of `it`.

---

==== Loading an iterator/const_iterator from an archive

Makes an `iterator` (`const_iterator`) `it` point to the restored position of
the original `iterator` (`const_iterator`) saved to the storage read by
an archive (XML archive) `ar`.

[horizontal]
Requires:;; If `x` is the `unordered_map` `it` points to, no modifying operations
have been issued on `x` between loading of `x` and loading of `it`.
