- unfriend HashSet, HashTable IO operators
- global min(), max(), minMax() functions taking a labelHashSet and an
optional limit. For example,
labelHashSet set = ...;
Info<< "min is " << min(set) << nl;
Info<< "max (non-negative) " << max(set, 0) << nl;
- make HashTable iterator '->' dereferencing more consistent by also
supporting non-pointer types as well.
- read HashTable values in-situ to avoid copying
- support move insert/set and emplace insertion.
These adjustments can be used for improved memory efficiency, and
allow hash tables of non-copyable objects (eg, std::unique_ptr).
- extend special HashTable output treatment to include pointer-like
objects such as autoPtr and unique_ptr.
ENH: HashTable::at() method with checking. Fatal if entry does not exist.
- The capitalization is consistent with most other template classes, but
more importantly frees up xfer() for use as method name without needing
special treatment to avoid ambiguities.
It seems reasonable to have different names for transfer(...) and xfer()
methods, since the transfer is occuring in different directions.
The xfer() method can thus replace the recently introduced zero-parameter
transfer() methods.
Other name candidates (eg, yield, release, etc.) were deemed too abstract.
StaticHashTable:
- erase(iterator&) now actually alters the iterator and iterator++() handles
it properly
- clear() also sets count to zero
- operator=(const StaticHashTable&) doesn't crash after a previous transfer
- operator(), operator==() and operator!=() added
HashTable:
- operator=(const HashTable&) gets tableSize if required, eg, after a
previous transfer)
HashSet / Map
- add xfer<...> constructor for underlying HashTable
