flat_map
Who needs them? They’re just like std::map
. We all have them.
flat_map
may seem like an unfamiliar animal, but you probably used it many times, maybe not realizing it: in essence flat_map
is just a sorted sequence.
In this talk we will
- compare
flat_map
to existing standard associative containers, - overview popular existing implementations of
flat_map
, - look at what is proposed to be included in the C++ standard library,
- and try to draw some conclusions of what kind of
flat_map
do we really want to have in C++.
In the end you should get a good understanding of what a flat_map
is, and in what situations you should use it.
