  1. 13.2 The Standard Template Library (STL)

  2. Outline In this topic, we will look at linked lists • The Node and List classes • Accessors and mutators • The implementation of various member functions • Stepping through a linked list • Defining the copy and assignment operator • Defining move constructors and move assignment operators • Discussed efficiencies

  3. Arrays The Standard Template Library has three variations on arrays: template < typename T, size_t N > class array; template < typename T, class Alloc = allocator<T> > class vector; template < size_t N > class bitset;

  4. array<T, N> This is a sequence container with a linear order • Elements are accessed by their position The memory allocation is contiguous • Random access is Q(1) The memory is allocated at compile time

  5. array<T, N> To make return types more standard, the C++ STL defines specific member types associated with each class: array<T, N>::value_type T array<T, N>::reference T & array<T, N>::const_reference T const & array<T, N>::pointer T * array<T, N>::const_pointer T const * array<T, N>::iterator array<T, N>::const_iterator array<T, N>::reverse_iterator array<T, N>::const_reverse_iterator array<T, N>::size_typesize_t array<T, N>::difference_typeptrdiff_t

  6. array<T, N> Member functions include: • The eight iterators begin end rbegin rend cbegincendcrbegincrend iteratorbegin() noexcept; const_iteratorbegin() const noexcept; const_iteratorcbegin() const noexcept; • Capacity constexprsize_typesize() noexcept; constexprsize_typemax_size()noexcept; constexprboolempty() noexcept;

  7. array<T, N> Member functions include: • Element access reference operator[](size_type); const_referenceoperator[]( size_type) const; reference at(size_type); const_reference at ( size_type ) const; reference front(); const_reference front() const; reference back(); const_referenceback() const; pointer data() noexcept; const_pointerdata() const noexcept;

  8. array<T, N> Member functions include: • Modifiers void fill(const_reference); void swap( array & )noexcept( ... );

  9. array<T, N> Example: #include <array> int main() { std::array<int, 5> v; for ( inti = 0; i < 5; ++i ) { v[i] = i; } for ( autoitr = v.begin(); itr != v.end(); ++itr ) { *itr = (*itr)^2; } v.fill( 7 ); int *ptr = v.data(); return 0; }

  10. bitset<N>

  11. vector<T> This is a sequence container with a linear order • Elements are accessed by their position The memory allocation is contiguous • Random access is Q(1) The array allocation is dynamic • The size of the array can change at runtime The user can specify the method of allocation

  12. vector<T> To make return types more standard, the C++ STL defines specific member types associated with each class: vector<T>::value_type T vector<T>::reference T & vector<T>::const_reference T const & vector<T>::pointer T * vector<T>::const_pointer T const * vector<T>::iterator vector<T>::const_iterator vector<T>::reverse_iterator vector<T>::const_reverse_iterator vector<T>::allocator_type allocate<value_type> vector<T>::size_typesize_t vector<T>::difference_typeptrdiff_t

  13. vector<T> Member functions include: • Constructors explicit vector(); explicit vector(size_type); vector(size_type, const_reference); template < class InputIterator> vector( InputIteratorfirst, InputIteratorlast ); vector( vector const & ); vector( vector && ); vector(initializer_list<value_type> );

  14. vector<T> Member functions include: • Assignment operator vector &operator=( vector const & ); vector &operator=( vector && ); vector &operator=(initializer_list<value_type> ); • The last lets us: std::vector<int> v(10); v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10};

  15. vector<T> Member functions include: • The eight iterators begin end rbegin rend cbegincendcrbegincrend • Each has the various signatures: iteratorbegin() noexcept; const_iteratorbegin() const noexcept; const_iteratorcbegin() const noexcept;

  16. vector<T> Member functions include: • Capacity size_typesize() const noexcept; size_typecapacity() const noexcept; size_typemaxsize() const noexcept; void resize( size_type); void resize( size_type, const_reference); boolempty() const noexcept; boolempty() const noexcept; void reserve( size_type); void shrink_to_fit();

  17. vector<T> Member functions include: • Element access reference operator[](size_type); const_referenceoperator[]( size_type) const; reference at(size_type); const_reference at ( size_type ) const; reference front(); const_reference front() const; reference back(); const_referenceback() const; pointer data() noexcept; const_pointerdata() const noexcept;

  18. vector<T> Member functions include: • Modifiers template < class Iterator > void assign( Iterator, Iterator ); void assign( size_type, const_reference); void assign( initializer_list<value_type> ); void push_back(const_reference); void push_back(value_type&& ); void pop_back();

  19. vector<T> Member functions include: • Modifiers iterator insert(const_iterator position, const_reference); iterator insert(const_iterator position, size_type n, const_reference); template < class Iterator > iterator insert( const_iterator position, Iterator first, Iterator last ); iterator insert( const_iterator position, value_type&& ); iterator insert(const_iterator position, initializer_list<value_type> );

  20. vector<T> Member functions include: • Allocator allocator_typeget_allocator() const noexcept; • Non-member function overloads template < typename T > void swap( vector<T> &, vector<T> & ); template < typename T > booloperator==( const vector<T> &, const vector<T> & ); • Includes the relational operators !=, <, <=, >, and >= • Uses a lexicographical comparison

  21. vector<bool> One specialization of vector is for Boolean values: • Normally, each bool occupies one byte • Reasonable specializations of vector<bool> use one bit per entry • One new function: void flip()noexcept; • A mechanism for referencing individual bits and interpreting them as type bool

  22. vector<T, Alloc> One thing that has been overlooked is: how is memory allocated? By default, memory allocation is performed using new[] and delete[] • What if this is too slow or inappropriate for a particular use of vector? The actual class definition is: template < typename T, class Alloc = allocator<T> > class vector;

  23. vector<T, Alloc> An allocator class must have specific member types and functions: template <class T> class Allocator { public: typedef T value_type; typedef T * pointer; typedef const T * const_pointer; typedef T & reference; typedef const T & const_reference; typedef std::size_tsize_type; typedef std::ptrdiff_tdifference_type; typedefpropagate_on_container_move_assignmenttrue_type; template <class U> struct rebind { typedef Allocator<U> other; };

  24. vector<T, Alloc> allocator() nothrow; allocator ( const allocator & ) nothrow; template <class U> allocator( const allocator<U> & ) nothrow; ~allocator() throw; pointer address( reference ) const noexcept; const_pointer address( const_reference ) const noexcept; pointer allocate( size_type, allocator<void>::const_pointer = 0 ); void deallocate( pointer, size_type ); size_typemax_size() const nothrow; template <class U, class... Args> void construct( U* p, Args&&... args ); template <class U> voiddestroy ( U* p ); };

  25. vector<T, Alloc> Why would you want a different allocator? • Suppose you want persistent memory allocation—allocation that continues from one execution of a program to the next • Intel’s thread building blocks improve the performance of multithreaded applications by using std::vector< T, tbb::scalable_allocator<T> > • Electronic Arts has a STL optimized for gaming software—memory tends to be more restrictive on gaming platforms • Tracking allocations and deallocations for debugging or efficiency • Suppose you want to use memory-mapped files—addresses in memory that are mapped not to RAM but to virtual memory From the point of view of portability, all the machine-specific things which relate to the notion of address, pointer, and so on, are encapsulated within a tiny, well-understood mechanism.

  26. Linked Lists The Standard Template Library has two variations on a linked list: template < typename T, class Alloc = allocator<T> > class list; template < typename T, class Alloc = allocator<T> > class forward_list;

  27. Stacks, Queues, and Deques The Standard Template Library has all three classes: template < typename T, class Alloc = allocator<T> > class deque; template < typename T, class Container = deque<T> > class stack; template < typename T, class Container = deque<T> > class queue;

  28. Weakly Ordered Containers Four containers are based on weak linear orderings: template < typename Key, class Compare = less<Key>, class Alloc = allocator<Key> > class set; template < typename Key, class Compare = less<Key>, class Alloc = allocator<Key> > class multiset;

  29. Weakly Ordered Containers Four containers are based on weak linear orderings: template < typename Key, typename T, class Compare = less<Key>, class Alloc = allocator< pair<const Key, T> > > class map; template < typename Key, typename T, class Compare = less<Key>, class Alloc = allocator< pair<const Key, T> > > class multimap;

  30. Weakly Ordered Containers What’s the difference? • A simple container stores objects • An associative containers stores an object related to a key were accesses are performed using the key • A weak ordering is a linear ordering of equivalence classes • With linear orderings, either a < b, a = b, or a > b • With weak orderings, either a < b, a ~ b, or a > b • That is, if a is neither less than or greater than b, it is equivalent to b • Example: people compared using their age in years • The container may store either • Only a single item per equivalence class, or • Multiple items per equivalence class

  31. Weakly Ordered Containers Which are which? The class definitions: • The class definitions for set and multiset are the same • map and multimap are similar with: • Two additional member functions for access via the keys • Arguments for searching are based on keys • Returns are based on what is being associated with the key

  32. set<Key> To make return types more standard, the C++ STL defines specific member types associated with each class: set<Key>::key_typeKey set<Key>::value_typeKey set<Key>::reference Key& set<Key>::const_referenceKeyconst & set<Key>::pointer Key* set<Key>::const_pointerKeyconst * set<Key>::iterator set<Key>::const_iterator set<Key>::reverse_iterator set<Key>::const_reverse_iterator set<Key>::size_typesize_t set<Key>::difference_typeptrdiff_t

  33. Priority Queues The Standard Template Library has a priority queue classes: template < typename T, class Container = vector<T>, class Compare = less< typename Container::value_type> > class priority_queue;

  34. Hashed Containers For containers are based on hashing: template < typename Key, class Hash = hash<Key>, class Pred = equal_to<Key>, class Alloc = allocator<Key> > class unordered_set; template < typename Key, class Hash = hash<Key>, class Pred = equal_to<Key>, class Alloc = allocator<Key> > class unordered_multiset;

  35. Hashed Containers For containers are based on hashing: template < typename Key, typename T, class Hash = hash<Key>, class Pred = equal_to<Key>, class Alloc = allocator< pair<const Key, T> > > class unordered_set; template < typename Key, typename T, class Hash = hash<Key>, class Pred = equal_to<Key>, class Alloc = allocator< pair<const Key, T> > > class unordered_multiset;

  36. unordered_set<Key> This is a simple container with unordered elements • Random access is Q(1) The elements stored are unique The user can specify the method of allocation

  37. unordered_set<Key> To make return types more standard, the C++ STL defines specific member types associated with each class: key_typeKeyvalue_type Key hasher hash<Key>key_equalequal_to<Key> referenceKey &const_referenceKey const&pointer Key *const_pointer Key const* iteratorconst_iteratorlocal_iteratorconst_local_iteratorallocator_type allocate<value_type>size_typesize_tdifference_typeptrdiff_t

  38. unordered_set<Key> Member functions include: • Constructors explicit unordered_set(size_type,const hasher & = hasher(),constkey_equal & = key_equal(),constallocator_type & = allocator_type() );unordered_set(unordered_setconst& );unordered_set(unordered_set && );template <class InputIterator>unordered_set(InputIterator first, InputInterator last,...);unordered_set(initializer_list<value_type>, ...);

  39. unordered_set<Key> Member functions include: • Assignment operator unordered_set &operator=(unordered_setconst& ); unordered_set &operator=(unordered_set&& ); unordered_set&operator=(initializer_list<value_type> );

  40. unordered_set<Key> Member functions include: • The four forward iterators begin end cbegincend • Each has the various signatures: iteratorbegin() noexcept;const_iteratorbegin() const noexcept;local_iteratorbegin(size_type);const_local_iteratorbegin(size_type) const;

  41. unordered_set<Key> Member functions include: • Capacity size_typesize() const noexcept; size_typemaxsize() const noexcept; boolempty() const noexcept;

  42. unordered_set<Key> Member functions include: • Element lookup iteratorfind(constkey_type & ); const_iteratorfind( constkey_type& )const; size_typecount(constkey_type & ); pair<iterator,iterator> equal_range( constkey_type & ); pair<const_iterator,const_iterator> equal_range( constkey_type & )const;

  43. unordered_set<Key> Member functions include: • Modifiers template <class... Args> iterator emplace( Args&&... ); template <class... Args> iteratoremplace_hint( const_iterator, Args&&... ); pair<iterator,bool> insert( reference& ); pair<iterator,bool> insert(value_type && ); pair<iterator,bool> insert(const_iterator, reference& ); pair<iterator,bool> insert(const_iterator, value_type&& );

  44. unordered_set<Key> Member functions include: • Modifiers iterator erase(const_iteratorposition ); iterator erase( reference ); iterator insert( const_iterator, const_iterator ); void clear()noexcept; void swap(unordered_set & );

  45. unordered_set<Key> Member functions include: • Allocator allocator_typeget_allocator() const noexcept; • Non-member function overloads template < typename T > void swap( vector<T> &, vector<T> & ); template < typename T > booloperator==( const vector<T> &, const vector<T> & ); • Includes the relational operators !=, <, <=, >, and >= • Uses a lexicographical comparison
