Requires: Disposer::operator()(pointer) shouldn't throw. Cloner should yield to nodes equivalent to the original nodes.

Effects: Erases all the elements from *this calling Disposer::operator()(pointer), clones all the elements from src calling Cloner::operator()(const_reference ) and inserts them on *this. Copies the predicate from the source container.

Requires: value must be an lvalue, and "hint" must be a valid iterator

Complexity: Logarithmic in general, but it is amortized constant time (two comparisons in the worst case) if t is inserted immediately before hint.

Throws: Nothing.

Note: Does not affect the validity of iterators and references. No copy-constructors are called.

std::pair< iterator, bool > 
insert_check(const key_type & key, insert_commit_data & commit_data);

Effects: Checks if a value can be inserted in the container, using a user provided key instead of the value itself.

Returns: If there is an equivalent value returns a pair containing an iterator to the already present value and false. If the value can be inserted returns true in the returned pair boolean and fills "commit_data" that is meant to be used with the "insert_commit" function.

Complexity: Average complexity is at most logarithmic.

Throws: If the comp ordering function throws. Strong guarantee.

std::pair< iterator, bool > 
insert_check(const_iterator hint, const key_type & key, 
             insert_commit_data & commit_data);

Effects: Checks if a value can be inserted in the container, using a user provided key instead of the value itself, using "hint" as a hint to where it will be inserted.

Returns: If there is an equivalent value returns a pair containing an iterator to the already present value and false. If the value can be inserted returns true in the returned pair boolean and fills "commit_data" that is meant to be used with the "insert_commit" function.

Complexity: Logarithmic in general, but it's amortized constant time if t is inserted immediately before hint.

Throws: If the comp ordering function throws. Strong guarantee.

template<typename KeyType, typename KeyTypeKeyCompare> 
  std::pair< iterator, bool > 
  insert_check(const KeyType & key, KeyTypeKeyCompare comp, 
               insert_commit_data & commit_data);

Requires: comp must be a comparison function that induces the same strict weak ordering as key_compare. The difference is that comp compares an arbitrary key with the contained values.

Effects: Checks if a value can be inserted in the container, using a user provided key instead of the value itself.

Returns: If there is an equivalent value returns a pair containing an iterator to the already present value and false. If the value can be inserted returns true in the returned pair boolean and fills "commit_data" that is meant to be used with the "insert_commit" function.

Complexity: Average complexity is at most logarithmic.

Throws: If the comp ordering function throws. Strong guarantee.

Notes: This function is used to improve performance when constructing a value_type is expensive: if there is an equivalent value the constructed object must be discarded. Many times, the part of the node that is used to impose the order is much cheaper to construct than the value_type and this function offers the possibility to use that part to check if the insertion will be successful.

If the check is successful, the user can construct the value_type and use "insert_commit" to insert the object in constant-time. This gives a total logarithmic complexity to the insertion: check(O(log(N)) + commit(O(1)).

"commit_data" remains valid for a subsequent "insert_commit" only if no more objects are inserted or erased from the container.

Requires: comp must be a comparison function that induces the same strict weak ordering as key_compare. The difference is that comp compares an arbitrary key with the contained values.

Effects: Checks if a value can be inserted in the container, using a user provided key instead of the value itself, using "hint" as a hint to where it will be inserted.

Returns: If there is an equivalent value returns a pair containing an iterator to the already present value and false. If the value can be inserted returns true in the returned pair boolean and fills "commit_data" that is meant to be used with the "insert_commit" function.

Complexity: Logarithmic in general, but it's amortized constant time if t is inserted immediately before hint.

Throws: If the comp ordering function throws. Strong guarantee.

Notes: This function is used to improve performance when constructing a value_type is expensive: if there is an equivalent value the constructed object must be discarded. Many times, the part of the constructing that is used to impose the order is much cheaper to construct than the value_type and this function offers the possibility to use that key to check if the insertion will be successful.

If the check is successful, the user can construct the value_type and use "insert_commit" to insert the object in constant-time. This can give a total constant-time complexity to the insertion: check(O(1)) + commit(O(1)).

"commit_data" remains valid for a subsequent "insert_commit" only if no more objects are inserted or erased from the container.

Note: Does not affect the validity of iterators and references. No copy-constructors are called.

                       const insert_commit_data & commit_data);

Requires: value must be an lvalue of type value_type. commit_data must have been obtained from a previous call to "insert_check". No objects should have been inserted or erased from the container between the "insert_check" that filled "commit_data" and the call to "insert_commit".

Effects: Inserts the value in the container using the information obtained from the "commit_data" that a previous "insert_check" filled.

Returns: An iterator to the newly inserted object.

Complexity: Constant time.

Throws: Nothing.

Notes: This function has only sense if a "insert_check" has been previously executed to fill "commit_data". No value should be inserted or erased between the "insert_check" and "insert_commit" calls.

iterator insert_before(const_iterator pos, reference value);

Requires: value must be an lvalue, "pos" must be a valid iterator (or end) and must be the succesor of value once inserted according to the predicate

Complexity: Constant.

Throws: Nothing.

const_iterator iterator_to(const_reference value) const;

Requires: value must be an lvalue and shall be in a set of appropriate type. Otherwise the behavior is undefined.

Effects: Returns: a valid const_iterator i belonging to the set that points to the value

Complexity: Constant.

Throws: Nothing.

pointer unlink_leftmost_without_rebalance();

Effects: Unlinks the leftmost node from the container.

Complexity: Average complexity is constant time.

Throws: Nothing.

Notes: This function breaks the container and the container can only be used for more unlink_leftmost_without_rebalance calls. This function is normally used to achieve a step by step controlled destruction of the container.

void replace_node(iterator replace_this, reference with_this);

Requires: replace_this must be a valid iterator of *this and with_this must not be inserted in any container.

Effects: Replaces replace_this in its position in the container with with_this. The container does not need to be rebalanced.

Complexity: Constant.

Throws: Nothing.

Note: This function will break container ordering invariants if with_this is not equivalent to *replace_this according to the ordering rules. This function is faster than erasing and inserting the node, since no rebalancing or comparison is needed.

void remove_node(reference value);

Effects: removes "value" from the container.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Logarithmic time.

Note: This static function is only usable with non-constant time size containers that have stateless comparison functors.

If the user calls this function with a constant time size container or stateful comparison functor a compilation error will be issued.

void rebalance();

Effects: Rebalances the tree.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Linear.

iterator rebalance_subtree(iterator root);

Requires: old_root is a node of a tree.

Effects: Rebalances the subtree rooted at old_root.

Returns: The new root of the subtree.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Linear to the elements in the subtree.

float balance_factor() const;

Returns: The balance factor (alpha) used in this tree

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Constant.

void balance_factor(float new_alpha);

Requires: new_alpha must be a value between 0.5 and 1.0

Effects: Establishes a new balance factor (alpha) and rebalances the tree if the new balance factor is stricter (less) than the old factor.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Linear to the elements in the subtree.

template<class... Options2> void merge(sg_set< T, Options2...> & source);

Requires: "source" container's Options can only can differ in the comparison function from *this.

Effects: Attempts to extract each element in source and insert it into a using the comparison object of *this. If there is an element in a with key equivalent to the key of an element from source, then that element is not extracted from source.

Postcondition: Pointers and references to the transferred elements of source refer to those same elements but as members of *this. Iterators referring to the transferred elements will continue to refer to their elements, but they now behave as iterators into *this, not into source.

Throws: Nothing unless the comparison object throws.

Complexity: N log(a.size() + N) (N has the value source.size())

template<class... Options2> void merge(sg_multiset< T, Options2...> & source);

Requires: "source" container's Options can only can differ in the comparison function from *this.

Effects: Attempts to extract each element in source and insert it into a using the comparison object of *this. If there is an element in a with key equivalent to the key of an element from source, then that element is not extracted from source.

Postcondition: Pointers and references to the transferred elements of source refer to those same elements but as members of *this. Iterators referring to the transferred elements will continue to refer to their elements, but they now behave as iterators into *this, not into source.

Throws: Nothing unless the comparison object throws.

Complexity: N log(a.size() + N) (N has the value source.size())

static sg_set & container_from_end_iterator(iterator end_iterator);

Precondition: end_iterator must be a valid end iterator of the container.

Effects: Returns a const reference to the container associated to the end iterator

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Constant.

static const sg_set & container_from_end_iterator(const_iterator end_iterator);

Precondition: end_iterator must be a valid end iterator of the container.

Effects: Returns a const reference to the container associated to the end iterator

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Constant.

static sg_set & container_from_iterator(iterator it);

Precondition: it must be a valid iterator of the container.

Effects: Returns a const reference to the container associated to the iterator

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Logarithmic.

static const sg_set & container_from_iterator(const_iterator it);

Precondition: it must be a valid iterator of the container.

Effects: Returns a const reference to the container associated to the iterator

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Logarithmic.

static iterator s_iterator_to(reference value);

Requires: value must be an lvalue and shall be in a set of appropriate type. Otherwise the behavior is undefined.

Effects: Returns: a valid iterator i belonging to the set that points to the value

Complexity: Constant.

Throws: Nothing.

Note: This static function is available only if the value traits is stateless.

static const_iterator s_iterator_to(const_reference value);

Requires: value must be an lvalue and shall be in a set of appropriate type. Otherwise the behavior is undefined.

Effects: Returns: a valid iterator i belonging to the set that points to the value

Complexity: Constant.

Throws: Nothing.

Note: This static function is available only if the value traits is stateless.

static void init_node(reference value);

Requires: value shall not be in a container.

Effects: init_node puts the hook of a value in a well-known default state.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Constant time.

Note: This function puts the hook in the well-known default state used by auto_unlink and safe hooks.
