std::flat_set
std::flat_set is a sorted associative container that’s designed to store a collection of unique elements in a sorted order. What sets std::flat_set apart from other associative containers, such as std::set, is that it is implemented as a flat container, often based on a sorted std::vector container. This means that elements are stored contiguously in memory, leading to optimal memory usage and faster iteration times compared to traditional tree-based associative containers.
std::flat_set maintains its elements in a sorted order, allowing for efficient searching, insertion, and deletion operations, while also providing similar functionality and interface to other set-like containers in the C++ STL. It is especially useful when you need the advantages of both sorted storage and efficient memory management.
Purpose and suitability
std::flat_set is a container that represents an associative set stored in a sorted flat array. It merges the benefits of a std...
