NAME

       FBB::Hash - Various mapping template classes using hashing

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/hash>

DESCRIPTION

       The  FBB:Hash  group  of template classes offer hashing-based mapping. Various variants are availabe, all
       based on the facilities offered by the unordered_map.

       The hash-map offered in the unordered_map container has a fairly complex construction interface, and Hash
       is an attempt to simplify this part of its interface. In practice, hashing uses a textual key, which  may
       be  std::string  or char * based, and the keys may be used either case sensitively or case insensitively.
       Hash merely requires its users to specify the map’s value type, while the key may be a char  const  *  or
       std::string, used case sensitively or case insensitively.

NAMESPACE

       FBB
       All  constructors,  members,  operators  and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the
       namespace FBB.

INHERITS FROM

       std::unordered_map, using various instantiations.

TYPE

       All variants define value_type as the corresponding unordered_map value_type. In  practice  a  value_type
       defines a std::pair<Key, Value>, where Key represents the hash’s key-type and Value represents the hash’s
       value type.

CONSTRUCTORS

       Variants  of  the  FBB::Hash  container  are  available  for  char const * or std::string keys, used case
       sensitively or case insensitively. All variants support default, copy,  and  move  construction,  support
       construction from initializer lists and support construction from iterators defining a half-open range of
       value_type values.

       The following variants are available (showing their default constructors). Value refers to the value type
       stored in the hash table.

       o      HashCharPtr<Value>():
              this hash table uses case sensitive char const * keys;

       o      HashCharCasePtr<Value>():
              this hash table uses case insensitive char const * keys;

       o      HashString<Value>():
              this hash table uses case sensitive std::string keys;

       o      HashStringCase<Value>():
              this hash table uses case insensitive std::string keys;

OVERLOADED OPERATOR

       In  addition  to  the index operator inherited from unordered_map the overloaded copy and move assignment
       operators are available for all Hash containers.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       All members of the unordered_map container are available, as Hash inherits from this template class.

EXAMPLE

           #include <iostream>
           #include <bobcat/hash>

           using namespace std;
           using namespace FBB;

           pair<char const *, size_t> ap[] =
           {
               pair<char const *, size_t>("one", 1),
               pair<char const *, size_t>("two", 2),
           };

           int main()
           {
               HashCharPtr<size_t> hcp;
               HashCharPtr<size_t> hcp2(ap, ap + 2);
               HashCharPtr<size_t> hcp3(hcp2);

               hcp = hcp2;

               cout << hcp2["one"] << endl;
           }
