object::insert_or_assign

Insert an element or assign to an existing element.

Synopsis

template<
    class M>
std::pair< object::iterator, bool >
insert_or_assign(
    string_view key,
    M&& m);

Description

If the key equal to key already exists in the container, assigns std::forward<M>(m) to the mapped_type corresponding to that key. Otherwise, inserts the as if by insert, constructing it using value_type(key, std::forward<M>(m)).

If insertion would result in the new number of elements exceeding capacity(), a reallocation and a rehashing occur. In that case all iterators and references are invalidated. Otherwise, they are not affected.

Complexity

Constant on average, worst case linear in size().

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to memory_resource::allocate may throw.

Return Value

A std::pair where first is an iterator to the existing or inserted element, and second is true if the insertion took place or false if the assignment took place.

Parameters

Name Description

key

The key used for lookup and insertion.

m

The value to insert or assign.

Exceptions

Type Thrown On

boost::system::system_error

The size of a key would exceed string::max_size.
