Is it possible to use lambda for hashing in hashed_<non>_unique interface for boost::multi_index? See this example: https://godbolt.org/z/1voof3
I also saw this: How to use lambda function as hash function in unordered_map? where the answer says:
You need to pass lambda object to unordered_map constructor since lambda types are not default constructible.
and I'm not sure is it even possible to do for the given example on godbolt.
Starting with C++20, yes, you can: https://godbolt.org/z/fTbzPP (note f
is declared as auto const hash_f
, without a &
).
As for @sehe's claim that multi_index_container
s can't be passed instances of hash objects (or other intervening function objects) at construction time, the claim is incorrect: they can, although the interface is somewhat complicated:
#include <boost/multi_index_container.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/hashed_index.hpp>
#include <boost/multi_index/identity.hpp>
#include <functional>
struct non_default_ctble_hash
{
non_default_ctble_hash(std::size_t n):n{n}{}
template<typename T>
std::size_t operator()(const T& x){return std::hash<T>{}(x)*n;}
std::size_t n;
};
using namespace boost::multi_index;
using container=multi_index_container<
int,
indexed_by<
hashed_unique<identity<int>,non_default_ctble_hash>
>
>;
int main()
{
container::ctor_args_list cal{
{0,identity<int>{},non_default_ctble_hash{666},std::equal_to<int>{}}
};
container c(cal);
}
