-
A std::map that keep track of the order of insertion?
14 answers
I have the following code:
#include <iostream>
#include "boost/unordered_map.hpp"
using namespace std;
using namespace boost;
int main()
{
typedef unordered_map<int, int> Map;
typedef Map::const_iterator It;
Map m;
m[11] = 0;
m[0] = 1;
m[21] = 2;
for (It it (m.begin()); it!=m.end(); ++it)
cout << it->first << " " << it->second << endl;
return 0;
}
However, I am looking for something that preserves the order so that later I can iterate over the elements in the same order in which they were inserted. On my computer the above code does not preserve the order, and prints the following:
0 1
11 0
21 2
I thought maybe I could use a boost::multi_index_container
typedef multi_index_container<
int,
indexed_by<
hashed_unique<identity<int> >,
sequenced<>
>
> Map;
Can somebody show me how to implement my original code using this container (or any other appropriate container) so that the iterator follows the order of insertion?
#include <iostream>
#include "boost/unordered_map.hpp"
#include <boost/multi_index_container.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/member.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/ordered_index.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/hashed_index.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/sequenced_index.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace boost;
using namespace boost::multi_index;
struct key_seq{};
struct key{};
struct Data_t
{
int key_;
int data_;
Data_t (int key_v, int data_v) : key_(key_v), data_(data_v) {}
};
int main()
{
typedef multi_index_container<
Data_t,
indexed_by<
hashed_unique<tag<key>, BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_MEMBER(Data_t,int,key_)>,
sequenced<tag<key_seq> >
>
> Map;
typedef Map::const_iterator It;
typedef index<Map,key>::type Map_hashed_by_key_index_t;
typedef index<Map,key>::type::const_iterator Map_hashed_by_key_iterator_t;
typedef index<Map,key_seq>::type Map_sequenced_by_key_index_t;
typedef index<Map,key_seq>::type::const_iterator Map_sequenced_by_key_iterator_t;
Map m;
m.insert(Data_t(11,0));
m.insert(Data_t(0,1));
m.insert(Data_t(21,1));
{
cout << "Hashed values\n";
Map_hashed_by_key_iterator_t i = get<key>(m).begin();
Map_hashed_by_key_iterator_t end = get<key>(m).end();
for (;i != end; ++i) {
cout << (*i).key_ << " " << (*i).data_ << endl;
}
}
{
cout << "Sequenced values\n";
Map_sequenced_by_key_iterator_t i = get<key_seq>(m).begin();
Map_sequenced_by_key_iterator_t end = get<key_seq>(m).end();
for (;i != end; ++i) {
cout << (*i).key_ << " " << (*i).data_ << endl;
}
}
return 0;
}
You can try creating an ordered map using the combination of map and the vector.
- Vector can hold the pair of key and
value.
- Vector iterator can be used as
iterator to traverse ordered map.
- map can be used access the elements
faster.
