multimap (3C++std) - Tru64 UNIX
Standard C++ LibraryCopyright 1996, Rogue Wave Software, Inc. NAME
multimap - An associative container providing access to non-key values
using keys. multimap keys are not required to be unique. A multimap
supports bidirectional iterators.
SYNOPSIS
#include <map>
template <class Key, class T, class Compare = less<Key>,
class Allocator = allocator<T> >
class multimap ;
DESCRIPTION
multimap <Key ,T, Compare, Allocator> provides fast access to stored values
of type T which are indexed by keys of type Key. The default operation for
key comparison is the < operator. Unlike map, multimap allows insertion of
duplicate keys.
multimap provides bidirectional iterators which point to an instance of
pair<const Key x, T y> where x is the key and y is the stored value
associated with that key. The definition of multimap provides a typedef
to this pair called value_type.
The types used for both the template parameters Key and T must provide
the following (where T is the type, t is a value of T and u is a const
value of T):
Copy constructors - T(t) and T(u)
Destructor - t.~T()
Address of - &t and &u yielding T* and
const T* respectively
Assignment - t = a where a is a
(possibly const) value of T
The type used for the Compare template parameter must satisfy the
requirements for binary functions.

CONSTRUCTORS AND DESTRUCTORS
explicit multimap(const Compare& comp = Compare(),
const Allocator& alloc = Allocator());
Default constructor. Constructs an empty multimap that
will use the optional relation comp to order keys and
the allocator alloc for all storage management.
template <class InputIterator>
multimap(InputIterator first,
InputIterator last,
const Compare& comp = Compare()
const Allocator& alloc = Allocator());
Constructs a multimap containing values in the range [first,
last). Creation of the new multimap is only guaranteed to
succeed if the iterators first and last return values of type
pair<class Key, class T>.
multimap(const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x);
Copy constructor. Creates a new multimap by copying all pairs of key
and value from x.
~multimap();
The destructor. Releases any allocated memory for this multimap.
ASSIGNMENT OPERATOR
multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>&
operator=(const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x);
Replaces the contents of *this with a copy of the multimap x.
ALLOCATOR
allocator_type
get_allocator() const;
Returns a copy of the allocator used by self for storage management.
ITERATORS
iterator
begin() ;
Returns a bidirectional iterator pointing to the first element stored
in the multimap. "First" is defined by the multimap's comparison
operator, Compare.
const_iterator
begin() const;
Returns a const_iterator pointing to the first element stored in the
multimap. "First" is defined by the multimap's comparison operator,
Compare.
iterator
end() ;
Returns a bidirectional iterator pointing to the last element stored in
the multimap, i.e. the off-the-end value.
const_iterator
end() const;
Returns a const_iterator pointing to the last element stored in the
multimap.
reverse_iterator
rbegin() ;
Returns a reverse_iterator pointing to the first element stored in the
multimap. "First" is defined by the multimap's comparison operator,
Compare.
const_reverse_iterator
rbegin() const;
Returns a const_reverse_iterator pointing to the first element stored in
the multimap.
reverse_iterator
rend() ;
Returns a reverse_iterator pointing to the last element stored in the
multimap, i.e., the off-the-end value.
const_reverse_iterator
rend() const;
Returns a const_reverse_iterator pointing to the last element stored in
the multimap.
MEMBER FUNCTIONS
void
clear();
Erases all elements from the self.
size_type
count(const key_type& x) const;
Returns the number of elements in the multimap with the key value x.
bool
empty() const;
Returns true if the multimap is empty, false otherwise.
pair<iterator,iterator>
equal_range(const key_type& x);
pair<const_iterator,const_iterator>
equal_range(const key_type& x) const;
Returns the pair (lower_bound(x), upper_bound(x)).
iterator
erase(iterator first, iterator last);
Providing the iterators first and last point to the same multimap and
last is reachable from first, all elements in the range (first, last)
will be deleted from the multimap. Returns an iterator pointing to the
element following the last deleted element, or end(), if there were no
elements after the deleted range.
iterator
erase(iterator position);
Deletes the multimap element pointed to by the iterator position.
Returns an iterator pointing to the element following the deleted
element, or end(), if the deleted item was the last one in this list.
size_type
erase(const key_type& x);
Deletes the elements with the key value x from the map, if any exist.
Returns the number of deleted elements, or 0 otherwise.
iterator
find(const key_type& x);
Searches the multimap for a pair with the key value x and returns an
iterator to that pair if it is found. If such a pair is not found the
value end() is returned.
const_iterator
find(const key_type& x) const;
Same as find above but returns a const_iterator.
iterator
insert(const value_type& x);
iterator
insert(iterator position, const value_type& x);
x is inserted into the multimap. A position may be supplied as a hint
regarding where to do the insertion. If the insertion may be done right
after position then it takes amortized constant time. Otherwise it
will take O(log N) time.
template <class InputIterator>
void
insert(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
Copies of each element in the range [first, last) will be inserted into
the multimap. The iterators first and last must return values of type
pair<T1,T2>. This operation takes approximately O(N*log(size()+N))
time.
key_compare
key_comp() const;
Returns a function object capable of comparing key values using the
comparison operation, Compare, of the current multimap.
iterator
lower_bound(const key_type& x);
Returns an iterator to the first multimap element whose key is
greater than or equal to x. If no such element exists then end() is
returned.
const_iterator
lower_bound(const key_type& x) const;
Same as lower_bound above but returns a const_iterator.
size_type
max_size() const;
Returns the maximum possible size of the multimap.
size_type
size() const;
Returns the number of elements in the multimap.
void
swap(multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x);
Swaps the contents of the multimap x with the current multimap, *this.
iterator
upper_bound(const key_type& x);
Returns an iterator to the first element whose key is less than or
equal to x. If no such element exists, then end() is returned.
const_iterator
upper_bound(const key_type& x) const;
Same as upper_bound above but returns a const_iterator.
value_compare
value_comp() const;
Returns a function object capable of comparing value_types (key,value
pairs) using the comparison operation, Compare, of the current multimap.
NON-MEMBER OPERATORS
bool
operator==(const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns true if all elements in x are element-wise equal to
all elements in y, using (T::operator==). Otherwise it returns
false.
bool
operator!=(const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns !(x==y).
bool
operator<(const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns true if x is lexicographically less than y.
Otherwise, it returns false.
bool
operator>(const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns y < x.
bool
operator<=(const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns !(y < x).
bool
operator>=(const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x,
const multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& y);
Returns !(x < y).
SPECIALIZED ALGORITHMS
template<class Key, class T, class Compare, class Allocator>
void swap(multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& a,
multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& b);
Efficiently swaps the contents of a and b.
EXAMPLE
//
// multimap.cpp
//
#include <string>
#include <map>
#include <iostream.h>
typedef multimap<int, string, less<int> > months_type;
// Print out a pair
template <class First, class Second>
ostream& operator<<(ostream& out,
const pair<First,Second>& p)
{
cout << p.second << " has " << p.first << " days";
return out;
}
// Print out a multimap
ostream& operator<<(ostream& out, months_type l)
{
copy(l.begin(),l.end(), ostream_iterator
<months_type::value_type,char>(cout,"0));
return out;
}
int main(void)
{
// create a multimap of months and the number of
// days in the month
months_type months;
typedef months_type::value_type value_type;
// Put the months in the multimap
months.insert(value_type(31, string("January")));
months.insert(value_type(28, string("February")));
months.insert(value_type(31, string("March")));
months.insert(value_type(30, string("April")));
months.insert(value_type(31, string("May")));
months.insert(value_type(30, string("June")));
months.insert(value_type(31, string("July")));
months.insert(value_type(31, string("August")));
months.insert(value_type(30, string("September")));
months.insert(value_type(31, string("October")));
months.insert(value_type(30, string("November")));
months.insert(value_type(31, string("December")));
// print out the months
cout << "All months of the year" << endl << months << endl;
// Find the Months with 30 days
pair<months_type::iterator,months_type::iterator> p =
months.equal_range(30);
// print out the 30 day months
cout << endl << "Months with 30 days" << endl;
copy(p.first,p.second,
ostream_iterator<months_type::value_type,char>(cout,"0));
return 0;
}
Output :
All months of the year
February has 28 days
April has 30 days
June has 30 days
September has 30 days
November has 30 days
January has 31 days
March has 31 days
May has 31 days
July has 31 days
August has 31 days
October has 31 days
December has 31 days
Months with 30 days
April has 30 days
June has 30 days
September has 30 days
November has 30 days
WARNINGS
Member function templates are used in all containers provided by the
Standard C++ Library. An example of this feature is the constructor for
multimap<Key,T,Compare,Allocator> that takes two templated iterators:
template <class InputIterator>
multimap (InputIterator, InputIterator,
const Compare& = Compare(),
const Allocator& = Allocator());
multimap also has an insert function of this type. These functions, when
not restricted by compiler limitations, allow you to use any type of input
iterator as arguments. For compilers that do not support this feature we
provide substitute functions that allow you to use an iterator obtained
from the same type of container as the one you are constructing (or calling
a member function on), or you can use a pointer to the type of element you
have in the container.
For example, if your compiler does not support member function templates
you can construct a multimap in the following two ways:
multimap<int,int>::value_type intarray[10];
multimap<int,int> first_map(intarry, intarray + 10);
multimap<int,int>
second_multimap(first_multimap.begin(), first_multimap.end());
but not this way:
multimap<long,long>
long_multimap(first_multimap.begin(),first_multimap.end());
since the long_multimap and first_multimap are not the same type.
Also, many compilers do not support default template arguments. If your
compiler is one of these you need to always supply the Compare template
argument and the Allocator template argument. For instance you'll have to
write:
multimap<int, int, less<int>, allocator<int> >
instead of:
multimap<int, int>
