Implementation of std::map

$begingroup$


I have decided to make a basic C++ implementation of the std::map class, and I was checking that it is fine, as I am not sure if the operator is done correctly: should I be using the has_key function? e.t.c



template < typename _Key, typename _Ty, typename _Cmp = std::less<_Key>, typename _Alloc = std::allocator< std::pair<const _Key, _Ty> > > class map

map(const _Myt &_Rhs)
: size_(_Rhs.size_), capacity_(_Rhs.size_ + 20), data_(_Alloc().allocate(_Rhs.size_))
{
int count = 0;
for (iterator i = &_Rhs.data_[0]; i != &_Rhs.data_[_Rhs.size_]; ++i, ++count)
{
_Alloc().construct(&data_[count], *i);
}
}

~map()
{
if (!empty())
{
for (iterator i = begin(); i != end(); ++i)
{
_Alloc().destroy(i);
}
_Alloc().deallocate(data_, capacity_);
}
}

_Myt &insert(const value_type &_Value)
{
if (++size_ >= capacity_)
{
reserve(capacity_ * 2);
}
_Alloc().construct(&data_[size_ - 1], _Value);
return *this;
}

bool has_key(const key_type &_Key)
{
for (iterator i = begin(); i != end(); ++i)
{
if (i->first == _Key)
{
return true;
}
}
return false;

    You also fail at some basic points of std::map: it must not allow insertion of duplicates (which you only prevent in operator, but not in .insert()), and it must store its elements in key order (which you make no effort at).

Readability



With your lengthy template statement, I'd put the class statement onto the next line:



template </*...*/>
class map


Naming standards



According to this answer, identifiers in the form _Identifier are reserved:




7.1.3 Reserved identifiers



Each header declares or defines all identifiers listed in its
associated subclause, and optionally declares or defines identifiers
listed in its associated future library directions subclause and
identifiers which are always reserved either for any use or for use as
file scope identifiers.




  • All identifiers that begin with an underscore and either an uppercase
    letter or another underscore are always reserved for any use.


[...]




Const-correctness





  • You have iterators, but you should also have const iterators:



    const_iterator cbegin() const
    {
    return &data_[0];
    }

    const_iterator cend() const
    {
    return &data_[size_];
    }



  • empty() should be const:



    bool empty() const
    {
    return size_ == 0;
    }



  • has_key() should be const and use the aforementioned const iterators:



    bool has_key(const key_type &_Key) const
    {
    for (const_iterator i = cbegin(); i != cend(); ++i)
    {
    if (i->first == _Key)
    {
    return true;
    }
    }
    return false;
    }

    Having const_iterator begin() const; is probably a higher priority than cbegin(), 'twas introduced first because it's the more useful, propagating const correctness in certain template situations. The lack of const correctness obviously led to for (iterator i = &_Rhs.data_[0]; i != &_Rhs.data_[_Rhs.size_]; ++i, ++count) - that can be cleaned up as ...i = rhs.begin(); i != rhs.end();....

[...] I am not sure if the operator is done correctly: should I be using the has_key function?




It is done correctly (i.e. it does what the contract of its API should), but not efficiently. The operator iterates twice (once in has_key and once in the operator). You can replace both calls with a call to std::find_if, and remove the has_key function completely.

    You are searching two times the entire arrays to find your key,pair value. This is highly inefficient. Instead you could extend your has type to take two arguments and in the second argument it could store the value. This way you only iterate once.



    Otherwise yes, reusing your code is a yes yes, just don't iterate two times when you could easily done it once.

        Having const_iterator begin() const; is probably a higher priority than cbegin(), 'twas introduced first because it's the more useful, propagating const correctness in certain template situations. The lack of const correctness obviously led to for (iterator i = &_Rhs.data_[0]; i != &_Rhs.data_[_Rhs.size_]; ++i, ++count) - that can be cleaned up as ...i = rhs.begin(); i != rhs.end();....

      [...] I am not sure if the operator is done correctly: should I be using the has_key function?




      It is done correctly (i.e. it does what the contract of its API should), but not efficiently. The operator iterates twice (once in has_key and once in the operator). You can replace both calls with a call to std::find_if, and remove the has_key function completely.

              You are searching two times the entire arrays to find your key,pair value. This is highly inefficient. Instead you could extend your has type to take two arguments and in the second argument it could store the value. This way you only iterate once.



              Otherwise yes, reusing your code is a yes yes, just don't iterate two times when you could easily done it once.
