Detailed Description

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
class HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >

Holds a set of mappings between some key/value pairs.

The types of the key and value objects are set as template parameters. You can also specify a class to supply a hash function that converts a key value into an hashed integer. This class must have the form:

struct MyHashGenerator
{
int generateHash (MyKeyType key, int upperLimit) const
{
// The function must return a value 0 <= x < upperLimit
return someFunctionOfMyKeyType (key) % upperLimit;
}
};

Like the Array class, the key and value types are expected to be copy-by-value types, so if you define them to be pointer types, this class won't delete the objects that they point to.

If you don't supply a class for the HashFunctionType template parameter, the default one provides some simple mappings for strings and ints.

hash.set (1, "item1");
hash.set (2, "item2");
DBG (hash [1]); // prints "item1"
DBG (hash [2]); // prints "item2"
// This iterates the map, printing all of its key -> value pairs..
DBG (i.getKey() << " -> " << i.getValue());
Template Parameters
HashFunctionTypeThe class of hash function, which must be copy-constructible.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ ScopedLockType

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
using HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::ScopedLockType = typename TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse::ScopedLockType

Returns the type of scoped lock to use for locking this array.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ HashMap()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::HashMap ( int  numberOfSlots = defaultHashTableSize,
HashFunctionType  hashFunction = HashFunctionType() 
)
explicit

Creates an empty hash-map.

Parameters
numberOfSlotsSpecifies the number of hash entries the map will use. This will be the "upperLimit" parameter that is passed to your generateHash() function. The number of hash slots will grow automatically if necessary, or it can be remapped manually using remapTable().
hashFunctionAn instance of HashFunctionType, which will be copied and stored to use with the HashMap. This parameter can be omitted if HashFunctionType has a default constructor.

◆ ~HashMap()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::~HashMap ( )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
void HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::clear ( )

Removes all values from the map.

Note that this will clear the content, but won't affect the number of slots (see remapTable and getNumSlots).

◆ size()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
int HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::size ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the current number of items in the map.

◆ operator[]()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
ValueType HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::operator[] ( KeyTypeParameter  keyToLookFor) const

Returns the value corresponding to a given key.

If the map doesn't contain the key, a default instance of the value type is returned.

Parameters
keyToLookForthe key of the item being requested

◆ getReference()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
ValueType& HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::getReference ( KeyTypeParameter  keyToLookFor)

Returns a reference to the value corresponding to a given key.

If the map doesn't contain the key, a default instance of the value type is added to the map and a reference to this is returned.

Parameters
keyToLookForthe key of the item being requested

◆ contains()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
bool HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::contains ( KeyTypeParameter  keyToLookFor) const

Returns true if the map contains an item with the specified key.

◆ containsValue()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
bool HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::containsValue ( ValueTypeParameter  valueToLookFor) const

Returns true if the hash contains at least one occurrence of a given value.

◆ set()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
void HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::set ( KeyTypeParameter  newKey,
ValueTypeParameter  newValue 
)

Adds or replaces an element in the hash-map.

If there's already an item with the given key, this will replace its value. Otherwise, a new item will be added to the map.

◆ remove()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
void HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::remove ( KeyTypeParameter  keyToRemove)

Removes an item with the given key.

◆ removeValue()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
void HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::removeValue ( ValueTypeParameter  valueToRemove)

Removes all items with the given value.

◆ remapTable()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
void HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::remapTable ( int  newNumberOfSlots)

Remaps the hash-map to use a different number of slots for its hash function.

Each slot corresponds to a single hash-code, and each one can contain multiple items.

getNumSlots()

References Array< ElementType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse, minimumAllocatedSize >::getUnchecked(), Array< ElementType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse, minimumAllocatedSize >::insertMultiple(), and Array< ElementType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse, minimumAllocatedSize >::set().

◆ getNumSlots()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
int HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::getNumSlots ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the number of slots which are available for hashing.

Each slot corresponds to a single hash-code, and each one can contain multiple items.

◆ swapWith()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
template<class OtherHashMapType >
void HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::swapWith ( OtherHashMapType &  otherHashMap)
noexcept

Efficiently swaps the contents of two hash-maps.

◆ getLock()

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, class HashFunctionType = DefaultHashFunctions, class TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse = DummyCriticalSection>
const TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse& HashMap< KeyType, ValueType, HashFunctionType, TypeOfCriticalSectionToUse >::getLock ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the CriticalSection that locks this structure.

To lock, you can call getLock().enter() and getLock().exit(), or preferably use an object of ScopedLockType as an RAII lock for it.

◆ begin()
