24.2.5 Node handles [container.node]

24.2.5.1 Overview [container.node.overview]

A node handle is an object that accepts ownership of a single element from an associative container ([associative.reqmts]) or an unordered associative container ([unord.req]).

It may be used to transfer that ownership to another container with compatible nodes.

Containers with compatible nodes have the same node handle type.

Elements may be transferred in either direction between container types in the same row of Table 83 .

If a node handle is not empty, then it contains an allocator that is equal to the allocator of the container when the element was extracted.

If a node handle is empty, it contains no allocator.

Class node-handle is for exposition only.

If a user-defined specialization of pair exists for pair<const Key, T> or pair<Key, T>, where Key is the container's key_type and T is the container's mapped_type, the behavior of operations involving node handles is undefined.

24.2.5.2 Constructors, copy, and assignment [container.node.cons]

🔗

node-handle(node-handle&& nh) noexcept;

Effects: Constructs a node-handle object initializing ptr_ with nh.ptr_.

Move constructs alloc_ with nh.alloc_.

Assigns nullptr to nh.ptr_ and assigns nullopt to nh.alloc_.

🔗

node-handle& operator=(node-handle&& nh);

Preconditions: Either !alloc_, or ator_traits::propagate_on_container_move_assignment::value is true, or alloc_ == nh.alloc_.

Effects:

(3.1)
If ptr_ != nullptr, destroys the value_type subobject in the container_node_type object pointed to by ptr_ by calling ator_traits::destroy, then deallocates ptr_ by calling ator_traits::template rebind_traits<container_node_type>::deallocate.
(3.2)
Assigns nh.ptr_ to ptr_.
(3.3)
If !alloc_ or ator_traits::propagate_on_container_move_assignment::value is true,
move assigns nh.alloc_ to alloc_.
(3.4)
Assigns nullptr to nh.ptr_ and assigns nullopt to nh.alloc_.

Returns: *this.

Throws: Nothing.

24.2.5.3 Destructor [container.node.dtor]

🔗

~node-handle();

Effects: If ptr_ != nullptr, destroys the value_type subobject in the container_node_type object pointed to by ptr_ by calling ator_traits::destroy, then deallocates ptr_ by calling ator_traits::template rebind_traits<container_node_type>::deallocate.

24.2.5.4 Observers [container.node.observers]

🔗

value_type& value() const;

Preconditions: empty() == false.

Returns: A reference to the value_type subobject in the container_node_type object pointed to by ptr_.

Throws: Nothing.

🔗

key_type& key() const;

Preconditions: empty() == false.

Returns: A non-const reference to the key_type member of the value_type subobject in the container_node_type object pointed to by ptr_.

Throws: Nothing.

Remarks: Modifying the key through the returned reference is permitted.

🔗

mapped_type& mapped() const;

Preconditions: empty() == false.

Returns: A reference to the mapped_type member of the value_type subobject in the container_node_type object pointed to by ptr_.

Throws: Nothing.

🔗

allocator_type get_allocator() const;

Preconditions: empty() == false.

Returns: *alloc_.

Throws: Nothing.

🔗

explicit operator bool() const noexcept;

Returns: ptr_ != nullptr.

🔗

[[nodiscard]] bool empty() const noexcept;

Returns: ptr_ == nullptr.

24.2.5.5 Modifiers [container.node.modifiers]

🔗

void swap(node-handle& nh)
  noexcept(ator_traits::propagate_on_container_swap::value ||
           ator_traits::is_always_equal::value);

Preconditions: !alloc_, or !nh.alloc_, or ator_traits::propagate_on_container_swap::value is true, or alloc_ == nh.alloc_.

Effects: Calls swap(ptr_, nh.ptr_).

If !alloc_, or !nh.alloc_, or ator_traits::propagate_on_container_swap::value is true calls swap(alloc_, nh.alloc_).
