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.

HashMap<int, String> hash;
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..
for (HashMap<int, String>::Iterator i (hash); i.next();)
    DBG (i.getKey() << " -> " << i.getValue());

Template Parameters

HashFunctionType

The 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

numberOfSlots	Specifies 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().
hashFunction	An 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.

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).

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
