hash_load_check_resize_trigger Interface

A resize trigger policy based on a load check. It keeps the load factor between some load factors load_min and load_max.

Defined in: hash_policy.hpp

Template Parameters

Parameter Description Default Value
bool External_Load_Access 

Specifies whether the load factor can be accessed externally. The two options have different trade-offs in terms of flexibility, genericity, and encapsulation.

false
typename Size_Type 

Size type.

size_t

Public Methods

Constructors, Destructor, and Related

Method Description
  hash_load_check_resize_trigger
  (float load_min = 0.125, 
    float load_max = 0.5)

Default constructor, or constructor taking load_min and load_max load factors between which this policy will keep the actual load.

It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that load_min is smaller than load_max.

void
  swap
  (hash_load_check_resize_trigger &other)

Swaps content.

  virtual
    ~hash_load_check_resize_trigger
    ()

Destructor.

Load Access Methods

These methods are only available if the external access parameter is set.

Method Description
inline std::pair<float, float>
  get_loads
  () const

Returns a pair of the minimal and maximal loads, respectively.

Calling this method will not compile when External_Load_Access == false.

void 
  set_loads
  (std::pair<float, float> load_pair)

Sets the loads through a pair of the minimal and maximal loads, respectively.

Calling this method resizes the container, and might throw an exception. It is the responsibility of the user to pass appropriate loads to this function. Calling this method will not compile when External_Load_Access == false.

  notify_find_search_start
  ()

Notifies a search started.

inline void
  notify_find_search_collision
  ()

Notifies a search encountered a collision.

inline void

Erase Search Notifications.

Notifications called during an insert operation.

Method Description
inline void
  notify_erase_search_start

  ()

Notifies a search encountered a collision.

inline void
  notify_erase_search_end
  ()

Content Change Notifications.

Notifications called when the content of the table changes in a way that can affect the resize policy.

Method Description
inline void
  notify_inserted
  (size_type num_entries)

Notifies an element was inserted. the total number of entries in the table is num_entries.

inline void
  notify_erased
  (size_type num_entries)

Notifies an element was erased.

void 
  notify_cleared
  ()

Notifies the table was cleared.

Size Change Notifications.

Notifications called when the table changes size.

Method Description
void
  notify_resized
  (size_type new_size)

Notifies the table was resized as a result of this object's signifying that a resize is needed.

void
  notify_externally_resized
  (size_type new_size)

Notifies the table was resized externally.

Queries

Called to query whether/how to resize.

Method Description
inline bool 
  is_resize_needed
  () const

Queries whether a resize is needed.

inline bool
  is_grow_needed
  (size_type size, 
    size_type num_entries) const

Queries whether a grow is needed.

This method is called only if this object indicated resize is needed. The actual size of the table is size, and the number of entries in it is num_entries.

Private Methods

Overrides

Method Description
virtual void
  do_resize
  (size_type new_size)

Resizes to new_size.
