template<typename CompatibleKeyType >
bool Remove (const CompatibleKeyType &key, ValueType *out_pOldValue=nullptr)
 Removes the entry with the given key. Returns whether an entry was removed and optionally writes out the old value to out_oldValue.
 
Iterator Remove (const Iterator &pos)
 Erases the key/value pair at the given Iterator. Returns an iterator to the element after the given iterator.

 Cannot remove an element with just a ezHashTableBaseConstIterator.

bool TryGetValue (const CompatibleKeyType &key, ValueType &out_value) const
 Returns whether an entry with the given key was found and if found writes out the corresponding value to out_value.

bool TryGetValue (const CompatibleKeyType &key, const ValueType *&out_pValue) const
 Returns whether an entry with the given key was found and if found writes out the pointer to the corresponding value to out_pValue.

bool TryGetValue (const CompatibleKeyType &key, ValueType *&out_pValue) const
 Returns whether an entry with the given key was found and if found writes out the pointer to the corresponding value to out_pValue.
 
template<typename CompatibleKeyType >
ConstIterator Find (const CompatibleKeyType &key) const
 Searches for key, returns a ezHashTableBaseConstIterator to it or an invalid iterator, if no such key is found. O(1) operation.

ValueType * GetValue (const CompatibleKeyType &key)
 Returns a pointer to the value of the entry with the given key if found, otherwise returns nullptr.
 
ValueType & operator[] (const KeyType &key)
 Returns the value to the given key if found or creates a new entry with the given key and a default constructed value.
 
ValueType & FindOrAdd (const KeyType &key, bool *out_pExisted=nullptr)
 Returns the value stored at the given key. If none exists, one is created. bExisted indicates whether an element needed to be created.

 Returns if an entry with given key exists in the table.
 
Iterator GetIterator ()
 Returns an Iterator to the very first element.

Detailed Description

template<typename KeyType, typename ValueType, typename Hasher>
class ezHashTableBase< KeyType, ValueType, Hasher >

Implementation of a hashtable which stores key/value pairs.

The hashtable maps keys to values by using the hash of the key as an index into the table. This implementation uses linear-probing to resolve hash collisions which means all key/value pairs are stored in a linear array. All insertion/erasure/lookup functions take O(1) time if the table does not need to be expanded, which happens when the load gets greater than 60%. The hash function can be customized by providing a Hasher helper class like ezHashHelper.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Compact()

template<typename K , typename V , typename H >
void ezHashTableBase< K, V, H >::Compact

Tries to compact the hashtable to avoid wasting memory.

The resulting capacity is at least 'GetCount' (no elements get removed). Will deallocate all data, if the hashtable is empty.

◆ Insert()

template<typename KeyType , typename ValueType , typename Hasher >
template<typename CompatibleKeyType , typename CompatibleValueType >
bool ezHashTableBase< KeyType, ValueType, Hasher >::Insert ( CompatibleKeyType &&  key,
CompatibleValueType &&  value,
ValueType *  out_pOldValue = nullptr 
)

Inserts the key value pair or replaces value if an entry with the given key already exists.

Returns true if an existing value was replaced and optionally writes out the old value to out_oldValue.
