The SGI hashing classes <code class="classname">hash_set</code> and
<code class="classname">hash_set</code> have been deprecated by the
unordered_set, unordered_multiset, unordered_map,
unordered_multimap containers in TR1 and C++11, and
may be removed in future releases.
</p><p>The SGI headers</p><pre class="programlisting">
&lt;hash_map&gt;
&lt;hash_set&gt;
&lt;rope&gt;
&lt;slist&gt;
&lt;rb_tree&gt;
</pre><p>are all here;
<code class="filename">&lt;backwards/hash_map&gt;</code> and
<code class="filename">&lt;backwards/hash_set&gt;</code>
are deprecated but available as backwards-compatible extensions,
as discussed further below.
<code class="filename">&lt;ext/rope&gt;</code> is the SGI
specialization for large strings ("rope," "large strings," get it? Love
that geeky humor.)
<code class="filename">&lt;ext/slist&gt;</code> (superseded in
C++11 by <code class="filename">&lt;forward_list&gt;</code>)
is a singly-linked list, for when the doubly-linked <code class="code">list&lt;&gt;</code>
is too much space overhead, and
<code class="filename">&lt;ext/rb_tree&gt;</code> exposes the
red-black tree classes used in the implementation of the standard maps
and sets.
</p><p>Each of the associative containers map, multimap, set, and multiset
have a counterpart which uses a
<a class="link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171225062613/http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/HashFunction.html" target="_top">hashing
function</a> to do the arranging, instead of a strict weak ordering
function. The classes take as one of their template parameters a
function object that will return the hash value; by default, an
instantiation of
<a class="link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171225062613/http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/hash.html" target="_top">hash</a>.
You should specialize this functor for your class, or define your own,
before trying to use one of the hashing classes.
</p><p>The hashing classes support all the usual associative container
functions, as well as some extra constructors specifying the number
of buckets, etc.
</p><p>Why would you want to use a hashing class instead of the
<span class="quote"><span class="quote">normal</span></span>implementations? Matt Austern writes:
</p><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>[W]ith a well chosen hash function, hash tables
generally provide much better average-case performance than
binary search trees, and much worse worst-case performance. So
if your implementation has hash_map, if you don't mind using
nonstandard components, and if you aren't scared about the
possibility of pathological cases, you'll probably get better
performance from hash_map.

The deprecated hash tables are superseded by the standard unordered
associative containers defined in the ISO C++ 2011 standard in the
headers <code class="filename">&lt;unordered_map&gt;</code>
and <code class="filename">&lt;unordered_set&gt;</code>.
