- Section [23.1.2], Table 69, of the C++ standard lists this
- function for all of the associative containers (map, set, etc):
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- a.insert(p,t);
- </pre><p>
- where 'p' is an iterator into the container 'a', and 't' is the
- item to insert. The standard says that “<span class="quote"><code class="code">t</code> is
- inserted as close as possible to the position just prior to
- <code class="code">p</code>.</span>” (Library DR #233 addresses this topic,
- referring to <a class="ulink" href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1780.html" target="_top">N1780</a>.
- Since version 4.2 GCC implements the resolution to DR 233, so
- that insertions happen as close as possible to the hint. For
- earlier releases the hint was only used as described below.
- </p><p>
- Here we'll describe how the hinting works in the libstdc++
- implementation, and what you need to do in order to take
- advantage of it. (Insertions can change from logarithmic
- complexity to amortized constant time, if the hint is properly
- used.) Also, since the current implementation is based on the
- SGI STL one, these points may hold true for other library
- implementations also, since the HP/SGI code is used in a lot of
- places.
- </p><p>
- In the following text, the phrases <span class="emphasis"><em>greater
- than</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>less than</em></span> refer to the
- results of the strict weak ordering imposed on the container by
- its comparison object, which defaults to (basically)
- “<span class="quote">&lt;</span>”. Using those phrases is semantically sloppy,
- but I didn't want to get bogged down in syntax. I assume that if
- you are intelligent enough to use your own comparison objects,
- you are also intelligent enough to assign “<span class="quote">greater</span>”
- and “<span class="quote">lesser</span>” their new meanings in the next
- paragraph. *grin*
- </p><p>
- If the <code class="code">hint</code> parameter ('p' above) is equivalent to:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
- <code class="code">begin()</code>, then the item being inserted should
- have a key less than all the other keys in the container.
- The item will be inserted at the beginning of the container,
- becoming the new entry at <code class="code">begin()</code>.
- </p></li><li><p>
- <code class="code">end()</code>, then the item being inserted should have
- a key greater than all the other keys in the container. The
- item will be inserted at the end of the container, becoming
- the new entry at <code class="code">end()</code>.
- </p></li><li><p>
- neither <code class="code">begin()</code> nor <code class="code">end()</code>, then:
- Let <code class="code">h</code> be the entry in the container pointed to
- by <code class="code">hint</code>, that is, <code class="code">h = *hint</code>. Then
- the item being inserted should have a key less than that of
- <code class="code">h</code>, and greater than that of the item preceding
- <code class="code">h</code>. The new item will be inserted between
- <code class="code">h</code> and <code class="code">h</code>'s predecessor.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>
- For <code class="code">multimap</code> and <code class="code">multiset</code>, the
- restrictions are slightly looser: “<span class="quote">greater than</span>”
- should be replaced by “<span class="quote">not less than</span>”and “<span class="quote">less
- than</span>” should be replaced by “<span class="quote">not greater
- than.</span>” (Why not replace greater with
- greater-than-or-equal-to? You probably could in your head, but
- the mathematicians will tell you that it isn't the same thing.)
- </p><p>
- If the conditions are not met, then the hint is not used, and the
- insertion proceeds as if you had called <code class="code"> a.insert(t)
- </code> instead. (<span class="emphasis"><em>Note </em></span> that GCC releases
- prior to 3.0.2 had a bug in the case with <code class="code">hint ==
- begin()</code> for the <code class="code">map</code> and <code class="code">set</code>
- classes. You should not use a hint argument in those releases.)
- </p><p>
- This behavior goes well with other containers'
- <code class="code">insert()</code> functions which take an iterator: if used,
- the new item will be inserted before the iterator passed as an
- argument, same as the other containers.
- </p><p>
- <span class="emphasis"><em>Note </em></span> also that the hint in this
- implementation is a one-shot. The older insertion-with-hint
- routines check the immediately surrounding entries to ensure that
- the new item would in fact belong there. If the hint does not
- point to the correct place, then no further local searching is
- done; the search begins from scratch in logarithmic time.
