CGAL::Inverse_index<IC>

Definition

The class Inverse_index<IC> constructs an inverse index for a given range [

i,j) of two iterators or circulators of type IC. The first element

I in the range [

i,j) has the index 0. Consecutive elements are numbered incrementally. The inverse index provides a query for a given iterator or circulator

k to retrieve its index number. Precondition: The iterator or circulator must be either of the random access category or the dereference operator must return stable and distinguishable addresses for the values, e.g. proxies or non-modifiable iterator with opaque values will not work.

#include <CGAL/iterator.h>

Creation

Inverse_index<IC> inverse;
invalid index.

Inverse_index<IC> inverse ( IC i);
empty inverse index initialized to start at i.

Inverse_index<IC> inverse ( IC i, IC j);
inverse index initialized with range [i,j).

Operations

std::size_t inverse [ IC k] returns inverse index of k.
Precondition: k has been stored in the inverse index.

void inverse.push_back ( IC k)
adds k at the end of the indices.

Implementation

For random access iterators or circulators, it is done in constant time by subtracting i. For other iterator categories, an STL map is used, which results in a logj-i query time. The comparisons are done using the operator operator< on pointers.
