Detailed Description

template<class Key, class Value, class... Policies>
class xenium::vyukov_hash_map< Key, Value, Policies >::iterator

A ForwardIterator to safely iterate vyukov_hash_map.

Iterators hold a lock on the currently iterated bucket, blocking concurrent updates (emplace/erase) of that bucket, as well as grow operations or other iterators trying to acquire a lock on that bucket. In order to avoid deadlocks, consider the following guidelines:

• reset an iterator once it is no longer required.
• do not acquire more than one iterator on the same map.
• do not call emplace while holding an iterator.
• do not call erase with a key while holding an iterator.

Since the bucket locks are exclusive, it is not possible to copy iterators; i.e., copy constructor, copy assignment and postfix increment are not available. Instead, use move construction, move assignment and prefix increment.

Iterators are not invalidated by concurrent update operations.
