a C++ hash map that preserves the order of insertion [duplicate] - c++

A std::map that keep track of the order of insertion?
(15 answers)
Closed 10 years ago.
I have the following code:
#include <iostream>
#include "boost/unordered_map.hpp"
using namespace std;
using namespace boost;
int main()
{
typedef unordered_map<int, int> Map;
typedef Map::const_iterator It;
Map m;
m[11] = 0;
m[0] = 1;
m[21] = 2;
for (It it (m.begin()); it!=m.end(); ++it)
cout << it->first << " " << it->second << endl;
return 0;
}
However, I am looking for something that preserves the order so that later I can iterate over the elements in the same order in which they were inserted. On my computer the above code does not preserve the order, and prints the following:
0 1
11 0
21 2
I thought maybe I could use a boost::multi_index_container
typedef multi_index_container<
int,
indexed_by<
hashed_unique<identity<int> >,
sequenced<>
>
> Map;
Can somebody show me how to implement my original code using this container (or any other appropriate container) so that the iterator follows the order of insertion?

You can try creating an ordered map using the combination of map and the vector.
Vector can hold the pair of key and
value.
Vector iterator can be used as
iterator to traverse ordered map.
map can be used access the elements
faster.
