BloombergLP::bdlc::FlatHashMap::try_emplace

Try to emplace an element with key using a placement hint.

Synopsis

Declared in <bdlc_flathashmap.h>

template<class... ARGS>
FlatHashMap<KEY, VALUE, HASH, EQUAL>::iterator
try_emplace(
    const_iterator hint,
    KEY const& key,
    ARGS&&... args);

Description

If a key equivalent to the specified key already exists in this map, return an iterator referring to the existing item. Otherwise, insert into this map a newly-created value_type object, constructed from key and the specified args, and return an iterator referring to the newly-created entry. This method requires that the (template parameter) types KEY and VALUE are emplace-constructible from key and args respectively. For C++03, VALUE must also be copy-constructible.

Return Value

iterator to the existing or newly inserted element

Parameters

NameDescription
hintiterator hint (ignored)
keykey of the element to emplace
argsarguments forwarded to construct the mapped value
