RefCountHashMap< K, V, HASH, HANDLER > Class Template Reference

#include <refcount_hashmap.h>

Detailed Description

template<typename K, typename V, typename HASH = DefaultCompare, typename HANDLER = RefCountHashMapDefaultHandler>
class maxon::RefCountHashMap< K, V, HASH, HANDLER >

Use a RefCountHashMap for cache-like use cases where a map entry shall be automatically removed when it isn't used any longer.

To add an entry to a RefCountHashMap, you have to use and store an EntryRef as in

EntryRef ref;
Bool created;
V* value = ref.Set(map, key, created) iferr_return;
PyObject * value
Definition: abstract.h:715
PyObject * key
Definition: abstract.h:289
maxon::Bool Bool
Definition: ge_sys_math.h:55
#define iferr_return
Definition: resultbase.h:1465

This will add an entry for key, and this entry will stay in the map as long as there are EntryRefs pointing to it. The map keeps track of those entries by means of reference counting.
