- this largely reverts 3f0f218d88 and 4ee65d12c4.
Consistent addressing with support for wrapped pointer types (eg,
autoPtr, std::unique_ptr) has proven to be less robust than desired.
Thus rescind HashTable iterator '->' dereferencing (from APR-2019).
- 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.
