std::flat_map(3)

NAME
std::flat_map - std::flat_map

Synopsis
   Defined in header <flat_map>
   template<
       class Key,
       class T,
       class Compare = std::less<Key>, (since C++23)
       class KeyContainer = std::vector<Key>,
       class MappedContainer = std::vector<T>
   > class flat_map;
   The flat map is a container adaptor that gives the functionality of an associative
   container that contains key-value pairs with unique keys. Keys are sorted by using
   the comparison function Compare.
   The class template flat_map acts as a wrapper to the two underlying containers,
   passed as objects of type KeyContainer and MappedContainer respectively. The first
   container is sorted, and for each key its corresponding value is in the second
   container at the same index (offset). The number of elements in both containers is
   the same.
   Everywhere the standard library uses the Compare requirements, uniqueness is
   determined by using the equivalence relation. Informally, two objects a and b are
   considered equivalent if neither compares less than the other: !comp(a, b) &&
   !comp(b, a).
   std::flat_map meets the requirements of Container, ReversibleContainer, optional
   container requirements, and all requirements of AssociativeContainer (including
   logarithmic search complexity), except that:
     * requirements related to nodes are not applicable,
     * iterator invalidation requirements differ,
     * the complexity of insertion and erasure operations is linear.
   A flat map supports most AssociativeContainer's operations that use unique keys.

Template parameters
   Key - The type of the keys. The program is ill-formed if Key is not the
                     same type as KeyContainer::value_type.
   T - The type of mapped values. The program is ill-formed if T is not
                     the same type as MappedContainer::value_type.
   Compare - A Compare type providing a strict weak ordering.
                     The types of the underlying SequenceContainer to store keys and
                     mapped values correspondingly. The iterators of such containers
                     should satisfy LegacyRandomAccessIterator or model
   KeyContainer - random_access_iterator. Invocations of their member functions size
   MappedContainer and max_size should not exit via an exception.
                     The standard containers std::vector and std::deque satisfy these
                     requirements.

Notes
   The member types iterator and const_iterator may be aliases to the same type. This
   means defining a pair of function overloads using the two types as parameter types
   may violate the One Definition Rule. Since iterator is convertible to
   const_iterator, a single function with a const_iterator as parameter type will work
   instead.
