`sequenced` index specifier

This index specifier allows for insertion of a sequenced index.

template<typename TagList=tag<> > struct sequenced;

If provided, TagList must be an instantiation of tag.

Sequenced indices are modeled after the semantics of a bidirectional list like std::list. Elements in a sequenced index are by default sorted according to their order of insertion: this means that new elements inserted through a different index of the multi_index_container are appended to the end of the sequenced index. Additionally, the index allows for free reordering of elements in the same vein as std::list does. Validity of iterators and references to elements is preserved in all operations.

There are a number of differences with respect to std::lists:

Sequenced indices are not Assignable (like any other index.)
Unlike as in std::list, insertions into a sequenced index may fail due to clashings with other indices. This alters the semantics of the operations provided with respect to their analogues in std::list.
Elements in a sequenced index are not mutable, and can only be changed by means of replace and modify member functions.

Having these restrictions into account, sequenced indices are models of Reversible Container, Front Insertion Sequence and Back Insertion Sequence. We only provide descriptions of those types and operations that are either not present in the concepts modeled or do not exactly conform to the requirements for these types of containers.

Complexity signature

Here and in the descriptions of operations of sequenced indices, we adopt the scheme outlined in the complexity signature section. The complexity signature of sequenced indices is:

copying: c(n)=n*log(n),
insertion: i(n)=1 (constant),
hinted insertion: h(n)=1 (constant),
deletion: d(n)=1 (constant),
replacement: r(n)=1 (constant),
modifying: m(n)=1 (constant).

Instantiation types

Sequenced indices are instantiated internally to multi_index_container and specified by means of indexed_by with the sequenced index specifier. Instantiations are dependent on the following types:

Value from multi_index_container,
Allocator from multi_index_container,
TagList from the index specifier (if provided, otherwise tag<> is assumed).

TagList must be an instantiation of tag.

Constructors, copy and assignment

As explained in the index concepts section, indices do not have public constructors or destructors. Assignment, on the other hand, is provided.

index class name& operator=(const index class name& x);

Effects:
a=b;
where a and b are the multi_index_container objects to which *this and x belong, respectively.
Returns: *this.

template <class InputIterator>

void assign(InputIterator first,InputIterator last);

Requires: InputIterator is a model of Input Iterator over elements of type value_type or a type convertible to value_type. first and last are not iterators into any index of the multi_index_container to which this index belongs. last is reachable from first.
Effects:
clear();
insert(end(),first,last);

void assign(size_type n,const value_type& value);

Effects:

clear();
for(size_type i=0;i<n;++n)push_back(v);

Iterators

iterator       iterator_to(const value_type& x);

const_iterator iterator_to(const value_type& x)const;

Requires: x is a reference to an element of the container.
Returns: An iterator to x.
Complexity: Constant.
Exception safety: nothrow.

Capacity operations

void resize(size_type n,const value_type& x=value_type());

Effects:
if(n>size())insert(end(),n-size(),x);
else if(n<size()){
  iterator it=begin();
  std::advance(it,n);
  erase(it,end());
}
Note: If an expansion is requested, the size of the index is not guaranteed to be n after this operation (other indices may ban insertions.)

Modifiers

std::pair<iterator,bool> push_front(const value_type& x);

Effects: Inserts x at the beginning of the sequence if no other index of the multi_index_container bans the insertion.
Returns: The return value is a pair p. p.second is true if and only if insertion took place. On successful insertion, p.first points to the element inserted; otherwise, p.first points to an element that caused the insertion to be banned. Note that more than one element can be causing insertion not to be allowed.
Complexity: O(I(n)).
Exception safety: Strong.

std::pair<iterator,bool> push_back(const value_type& x);

Effects: Inserts x at the end of the sequence if no other index of the multi_index_container bans the insertion.
Returns: The return value is a pair p. p.second is true if and only if insertion took place. On successful insertion, p.first points to the element inserted; otherwise, p.first points to an element that caused the insertion to be banned. Note that more than one element can be causing insertion not to be allowed.
Complexity: O(I(n)).
Exception safety: Strong.

std::pair<iterator,bool> insert(iterator position,const value_type& x);

Requires: position is a valid iterator of the index.
Effects: Inserts x before position if insertion is allowed by all other indices of the multi_index_container.
Returns: The return value is a pair p. p.second is true if and only if insertion took place. On successful insertion, p.first points to the element inserted; otherwise, p.first points to an element that caused the insertion to be banned. Note that more than one element can be causing insertion not to be allowed.
Complexity: O(I(n)).
Exception safety: Strong.

void insert(iterator position,size_type n,const value_type& x);

Requires: position is a valid iterator of the index.
Effects:
for(size_type i=0;i<n;++i)insert(position,x);

template<typename InputIterator>

void insert(iterator position,InputIterator first,InputIterator last);

Requires: position is a valid iterator of the index. InputIterator is a model of Input Iterator over elements of type value_type or a type convertible to value_type. first and last are not iterators into any index of the multi_index_container to which this index belongs. last is reachable from first.
Effects:
while(first!=last)insert(position,*first++);
Complexity: O(m*I(n+m)), where m is the number of elements in [first,last).
Exception safety: Basic.

iterator erase(iterator position);

Requires: position is a valid dereferenceable iterator of the index.
Effects: Deletes the element pointed to by position.
Returns: An iterator pointing to the element immediately following the one that was deleted, or end() if no such element exists.
Complexity: O(D(n)).
Exception safety: nothrow.

iterator erase(iterator first,iterator last);

Requires: [first,last) is a valid range of the index.
Effects: Deletes the elements in [first,last).
Returns: last.
Complexity: O(m*D(n)), where m is the number of elements in [first,last).
Exception safety: nothrow.

bool replace(iterator position,const value_type& x);

Requires: position is a valid dereferenceable iterator of the index.
Effects: Assigns the value x to the element pointed to by position into the multi_index_container to which the index belongs if replacing is allowed by all other indices of the multi_index_container.
Postconditions: Validity of position is preserved in all cases.
Returns: true if the replacement took place, false otherwise.
Complexity: O(R(n)).
Exception safety: Strong. If an exception is thrown by some user-provided operation the multi_index_container to which the index belongs remains in its original state.

template<typename Modifier> bool modify(iterator position,Modifier mod);

Requires: Modifier is a model of Unary Function accepting arguments of type value_type&. position is a valid dereferenceable iterator of the index.
Effects: Calls mod(e) where e is the element pointed to by position and rearranges *position into all the indices of the multi_index_container. Rearrangement on sequenced indices does not change the position of the element with respect to the index; rearrangement on other indices may or might not succeed. If the rearrangement fails, the element is erased.
Postconditions: Validity of position is preserved if the operation succeeds.
Returns: true if the operation succeeded, false otherwise.
Complexity: O(M(n)).
Exception safety: Basic. If an exception is thrown by some user-provided operation (except possibly mod), then the element pointed to by position is erased.

template<typename Modifier,typename Rollback>

bool modify(iterator position,Modifier mod,Rollback back);

Requires: Modifier and Rollback are models of Unary Function accepting arguments of type value_type&. position is a valid dereferenceable iterator of the index. The sequence of operations mod(e), back(e), where e is the element pointed to by position, restores all keys of the element to their original state.
Effects: Calls mod(e) where e is the element pointed to by position and tries to rearrange *position into all the indices of the multi_index_container. Rearrangement on sequenced indices does not change the position of the element with respect to the index; rearrangement on other indices may or might not succeed. If the rearrangement fails, back(e) is invoked and the element is kept at its original position in all indices.
Postconditions: Validity of position is preserved except if the element is erased under the conditions described below.
Returns: true if the operation succeeded, false otherwise.
Complexity: O(M(n)).
Exception safety: Strong, except if back throws an exception, in which case the modified element is erased. If back throws inside the handling code executing after some other user-provided operation has thrown, it is the exception generated by back that is rethrown.

List operations

Sequenced indices provide the full set of list operations found in std::list; the semantics of these member functions, however, differ from that of std::list in some cases as insertions might not succeed due to banning by other indices. Similarly, the complexity of the operations may depend on the other indices belonging to the same multi_index_container.

void splice(iterator position,index class name& x);

Requires: position is a valid iterator of the index. &x!=this.
Effects: Inserts the contents of x before position, in the same order as they were in x. Those elements succesfully inserted are erased from x.
Complexity: O(x.size()*I(n+x.size()) + x.size()*D(x.size())).
Exception safety: Basic.

void splice(iterator position,index class name& x,iterator i);

Requires: position is a valid iterator of the index. i is a valid dereferenceable iterator x.
Effects: Inserts the element pointed to by i before position: if insertion is succesful, the element is erased from x. In the special case &x==this, no copy or deletion is performed, and the operation is always succesful. If position==i, no operation is performed.
Postconditions: If &x==this, no iterator or reference is invalidated.
Complexity: If &x==this, constant; otherwise O(I(n) + D(n)).
Exception safety: If &x==this, nothrow; otherwise, strong.

void splice(iterator position,index class name& x,iterator first,iterator last);

Requires: position is a valid iterator of the index. first and last are valid iterators of x. last is reachable from first. position is not in the range [first,last).
Effects: For each element in the range [first,last), insertion is tried before position; if the operation is succesful, the element is erased from x. In the special case &x==this, no copy or deletion is performed, and insertions are always succesful.
Postconditions: If &x==this, no iterator or reference is invalidated.
Complexity: If &x==this, constant; otherwise O(m*I(n+m) + m*D(x.size())) where m is the number of elements in [first,last).
Exception safety: If &x==this, nothrow; otherwise, basic.

void remove(const value_type& value);

Effects: Erases all elements of the index which compare equal to value.
Complexity: O(n + m*D(n)), where m is the number of elements erased.
Exception safety: Basic.

template<typename Predicate> void remove_if(Predicate pred);

Effects: Erases all elements x of the index for which pred(x) holds.
Complexity: O(n + m*D(n)), where m is the number of elements erased.
Exception safety: Basic.

void unique();

Effects: Eliminates all but the first element from every consecutive group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first+1,last) for which *i==*(i-1).
Complexity: O(n + m*D(n)), where m is the number of elements erased.
Exception safety: Basic.

template <class BinaryPredicate> void unique(BinaryPredicate binary_pred);

Effects: Eliminates all but the first element from every consecutive group of elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first+1,last) for which binary_pred(*i,*(i-1)) holds.
Complexity: O(n + m*D(n)), where m is the number of elements erased.
Exception safety: Basic.

void merge(index class name& x);

Requires: std::less<value_type> is a Strict Weak Ordering over value_type. Both the index and x are sorted according to std::less<value_type>.
Effects: Attempts to insert every element of x into the corresponding position of the index (according to the order). Elements successfully inserted are erased from x. The resulting sequence is stable, i.e. equivalent elements of either container preserve their relative position. In the special case &x==this, no operation is performed.
Postconditions: Elements in the index and remaining elements in x are sorted. Validity of iterators to the index and of non-erased elements of x references is preserved.
Complexity: If &x==this, constant; otherwise O(n + x.size()*I(n+x.size()) + x.size()*D(x.size())).
Exception safety: If &x==this, nothrow; otherwise, basic.

template <typename Compare> void merge(index class name& x,Compare comp);

Requires: Compare is a Strict Weak Ordering over value_type. Both the index and x are sorted according to comp.
Effects: Attempts to insert every element of x into the corresponding position of the index (according to comp). Elements successfully inserted are erased from x. The resulting sequence is stable, i.e. equivalent elements of either container preserve their relative position. In the special case &x==this, no operation is performed.
Postconditions: Elements in the index and remaining elements in x are sorted according to comp. Validity of iterators to the index and of non-erased elements of x references is preserved.
Complexity: If &x==this, constant; otherwise O(n + x.size()*I(n+x.size()) + x.size()*D(x.size())).
Exception safety: If &x==this, nothrow; otherwise, basic.

void sort();

Requires: std::less<value_type> is a Strict Weak Ordering over value_type.
Effects: Sorts the index according to std::less<value_type>. The sorting is stable, i.e. equivalent elements preserve their relative position.
Postconditions: Validity of iterators and references is preserved.
Complexity: O(n*log(n)).
Exception safety: nothrow if std::less<value_type> does not throw; otherwise, basic.

template <typename Compare> void sort(Compare comp);

Requires: Compare is a Strict Weak Ordering over value_type.
Effects: Sorts the index according to comp. The sorting is stable, i.e. equivalent elements preserve their relative position.
Postconditions: Validity of iterators and references is preserved.
Complexity: O(n*log(n)).
Exception safety: nothrow if comp does not throw; otherwise, basic.

void reverse();

Effects: Reverses the order of the elements in the index.
Postconditions: Validity of iterators and references is preserved.
Complexity: O(n).
Exception safety: nothrow.

Rearrange operations

These operations, without counterpart in std::list (although splice provides partially overlapping functionality), perform individual and global repositioning of elements inside the index.

void relocate(iterator position,iterator i);

Requires: position is a valid iterator of the index. i is a valid dereferenceable iterator of the index.
Effects: Inserts the element pointed to by i before position. If position==i, no operation is performed.
Postconditions: No iterator or reference is invalidated.
Complexity: Constant.
Exception safety: nothrow.

void relocate(iterator position,iterator first,iterator last);

Requires: position is a valid iterator of the index. first and last are valid iterators of the index. last is reachable from first. position is not in the range [first,last).
Effects: The range of elements [first,last) is repositioned just before position.
Postconditions: No iterator or reference is invalidated.
Complexity: Constant.
Exception safety: nothrow.

template<typename InputIterator> void rearrange(InputIterator first);

Requires: The range [first, std::advance(first,n)), where n is the size of the index, is a free view of the index.
Effects: The elements are rearranged so as to match the order of the previously described view.
Postconditions: No iterator or reference is invalidated.
Complexity: O(n).
Exception safety: Basic.

Serialization

Indices cannot be serialized on their own, but only as part of the multi_index_container into which they are embedded. In describing the additional preconditions and guarantees associated to sequenced indices with respect to serialization of their embedding containers, we use the concepts defined in the multi_index_container serialization section.

Operation: saving of a multi_index_container m to an output archive (XML archive) ar.

Requires: No additional requirements to those imposed by the container.

Operation: loading of a multi_index_container m' from an input archive (XML archive) ar.

Requires: No additional requirements to those imposed by the container.
Postconditions: On succesful loading, each of the elements of [begin(), end()) is a restored copy of the corresponding element in [m.get<i>().begin(), m.get<i>().end()), where i is the position of the sequenced index in the container.

Operation: saving of an iterator or const_iterator it to an output archive (XML archive) ar.

Requires: it is a valid iterator of the index. The associated multi_index_container has been previously saved.

Operation: loading of an iterator or const_iterator it' from an input archive (XML archive) ar.

Postconditions: On succesful loading, if it was dereferenceable then *it' is the restored copy of *it, otherwise it'==end().
Note: It is allowed that it be a const_iterator and the restored it' an iterator, or viceversa.
