<h2><a name="key_extractors">Key Extractors</a></h2>
<p>
Key extraction classes are used by
<a href="indices.html#key_based_indices">key-based indices</a> to
obtain the indexing keys from the elements of a <code>multi_index_container</code>.
An <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Assignable.html"><code>Assignable</code></a>
class <code>KeyFromValue</code> is said to be a key extractor from a
type <code>Type</code> if
<ol>
<li>the type <code>KeyFromValue::result_type</code> is defined,</li>
<li><code>k1(ca)</code> is defined and returns a value convertible
to <code>const KeyFromValue::result_type&amp;</code>,</li>
<li>if <code>k2</code> is a copy of <code>k1</code>, <code>k1(ca)</code> is the
same value as <code>k2(ca)</code>,</li>
</ol>
for every <code>k1</code>, <code>k2</code> of type <code>const KeyFromValue</code>,
and <code>ca</code> of type <code>const Type&amp;</code>.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, <code>KeyFromValue</code> is a <i>read/write</i> key extractor
if the following extra conditions are met:
<ol>
<li><code>k1(a)</code> is defined and returns a value convertible
to <code>KeyFromValue::result_type&amp;</code>,</li>
<li><code>const_cast&lt;const KeyFromValue::result_type&amp;>(k1(a))</code>
is the same value as
<code>k1(const_cast&lt;const Type&amp;>(a))</code>,</li>
</ol>
for every <code>k1</code> of type <code>const KeyFromValue</code> and
<code>a</code> of type <code>Type&amp;</code>.
</p>
<p>
Boost.MultiIndex provides six general-purpose key extractors:
<ul>
<li><a href="#identity"><code>identity</code></a>,</li>
<li><a href="#member"><code>member</code></a>,</li>
<li><a href="#const_mem_fun"><code>const_mem_fun</code></a>,</li>
<li><a href="#mem_fun"><code>mem_fun</code></a>,</li>
<li><a href="#global_fun"><code>global_fun</code></a> and</li>
<li><a href="#composite_key"><code>composite_key</code></a>,</li>
</ul>
plus replacements for some of them:
<ul>
<li><a href="#member_offset"><code>member_offset</code></a>,</li>
<li><a href="#const_mem_fun_explicit"><code>const_mem_fun_explicit</code></a> and</li>
<li><a href="#mem_fun_explicit"><code>mem_fun_explicit</code></a>,</li>
</ul>
that workaround some deficiencies in the support for non-type template parameters
by certain compilers.
</p>
<h3><a name="chained_pointers">Chained pointers</a></h3>
<p>
The key extractors provided by Boost.MultiIndex are templatized according
to the type <code>Type</code> and serve to extract keys not only from objects
of type <code>Type</code>, but also from reference wrappers provided by
<a href="../../../../doc/html/ref.html">Boost.Ref</a> and from <i>chained pointers</i>
to <code>Type</code> (or to reference wrappers of <code>Type</code>): a chained pointer
is any type <code>P</code> such that, for an object <code>p</code> of type
<code>const P</code>
<ul>
<li><code>*p</code> yields an object of type <code>Type&amp;</code> or
<code>boost::reference_wrapper&lt;Type></code>, OR</li>
<li><code>*p</code> yields a chained pointer to <code>Type</code>,</li>
</ul>
that is, chained pointers are arbitrary compositions of pointer-like objects
ultimately dereferencing to values of <code>Type&amp;</code> or
<code>boost::reference_wrapper&lt;Type></code>.

<h3><a name="member_offset">Class template <code>member_offset</code></a></h3>
<p>
Some compilers do not properly support pointers to members as non-type
template arguments. The following have been confirmed to have bugs in
this respect:
<ul>
<li>MSVC++ 6.0 (see
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;249045">Microsoft
Knowledge Base article #249045</a>),</li>
<li>MSVC++ 7.0 (not officially confirmed by Microsoft),</li>
<li>Intel C++ 7.0/7.1 for Windows (support issue #207321),</li>
<li>VisualAge 6.0 for AIX (internal defect #288539.)</li>
</ul>
In this situation, <code>member_offset</code> provides an
alternative to <a href="#member"><code>member</code></a> accepting offsets
instead of pointers to members. Please note that the use of
<code>offsetof</code> on non-POD types is forbidden by the standard;
luckily enough, most compilers accept it nevertheless, so
<code>member_offset</code> serves as a workaround for most practical purposes.

<code>CompositeKey</code> is the <code>composite_key</code> instantiation to
which the <code>composite_key_result</code> type is associated. Objects of type
<code>composite_key_result</code> returned by a composite key must be always treated
as <i>temporary</i>, i.e. they should not be stored or copied.
<code>composite_key_result</code> is <i>not</i> guaranteed to be a model of
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/DefaultConstructible.html">
<code>Default Constructible</code></a> or
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Assignable.html"><code>Assignable</code></a>.
Every object of type <code>composite_key_result&lt;CompositeKey></code> is
internally associated to the <code>CompositeKey</code> from which it is returned
and the object of type <code>CompositeKey::value_type</code> to which the
composite key was applied.
</p>
<h4><a name="ckey_result_notation">Notation</a></h4>
<p>
Given an <code>x</code> of type <code>composite_key_result&lt;CompositeKey></code>,
we use the following notation:
<ul>
<li><code>ck(x)</code> is the <code>CompositeKey</code> object associated to
<code>x</code>,</li>
<li><code>v(x)</code> is the object of type <code>CompositeKey::value_type</code>
associated to <code>x</code>,</li>
<li><code>k<sub>i</sub>(x) = ck(x).key_extractors().get&lt;i>()</code>,
that is, is the <code>i</code>-th key extractor of <code>ck(x)</code>,</li>
<li><code>x<sub>i</sub> = k<sub>i</sub>(x)(v(x))</code>, that is, the
key extracted from <code>v(x)</code> by the <code>i</code>-th key extractor,</li>
<li><code>length(x)</code> is the number of key extractors of <code>ck(x)</code>.</li>
</ul>
Also, if <code>y</code> is a tuple of values, we define:
<ul>
<li><code>y<sub>i</sub>=y.get&lt;i>()</code>,</li>
<li><code>length(y)</code> is the number of elements of <code>y</code>.</li>
</ul>

<code>Pred0</code>, ... , <code>Predn</code> are the types of the equality

must be a <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/BinaryPredicate.html">

equality predicate must be provided. The maximum number of equality predicates of
a <code>composite_key_equal_to</code> instantiation is implementation defined.

<code>Compare0</code>, ... , <code>Comparen</code> are the types of the comparison
predicates stored by <code>composite_key_compare</code>. Each of these types
must be a <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/BinaryPredicate.html">
<code>Binary Predicate</code></a>. At least a
comparison predicate must be provided. The maximum number of comparison predicates of
a <code>composite_key_compare</code> instantiation is implementation defined.
<code>composite_key_compare</code> is
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Assignable.html"><code>Assignable</code></a>.
It is also

<h3><a name="ckey_result_semantics">Semantics of
<code>composite_key_result</code></a></h3>
<p>
The design of equality, comparison and hash operations for
<code>composite_key_result</code> objects is based on the following rationale:
a <code>composite_key_result</code> is regarded as a "virtual" tuple, each
of its elements being the result of the corresponding elementary
key extractor. Accordingly, any given operation resolves to a
combination of the corresponding elementwise operations.
This mapping preserves the fundamental properties of the elementary operations
involved; for instance, it defines a true equivalence relation if the
basic predicates induce equivalence relations themselves.
We can state these facts in a formal way as follows.
</p>
<p>
Consider an instantiation of <code>composite_key_equal_to</code>
with types <code>Pred0</code>, ... , <code>Predn</code> such that each
<code>Predi</code> induces an equivalence relation on a certain type <code>Ti</code>,
and let <code>CompositeKey</code> be a type of the form
<code>composite_key&lt;Value,KeyFromValue0,...,KeyFromValuej></code>,
with <code>j &lt;= n</code>, such that
<blockquote>
<code>KeyFromValuei::result_type = Ti</code>, for all <code>i = 0,...,j</code>.
</blockquote>
Then, <code>composite_key_equal_to</code> induces an equivalence relation
on elements of type <code>composite_key_result&lt;CompositeKey></code>;
such two objects are equivalent if all its elementary key extractor values
are also equivalent. Additionally, given an instantiation
<code>composite_key_hash&lt;Hash0,...,Hashj></code>, the following types are
<a href="hash_indices.html#lookup"><code>Compatible Keys</code></a> of
(<code>composite_key_hash</code>, <code>composite_key_equal_to</code>)
with respect to <code>composite_key_result&lt;CompositeKey></code>:
<blockquote>
<code>tuple&lt;Q0,...,Qj></code>,<br>
<code>composite_key_result&lt;composite_key&lt;K0,...,Kj> ></code>, with
<code>Ki::result_type = Qi</code> for all <code>i = 0,...,j</code>.
</blockquote>
provided that each <code>Qi</code> is either <code>Ti</code> or a
<a href="hash_indices.html#lookup"><code>Compatible Key</code></a>
of (<code>Hashi</code>, <code>Predi</code>).</p>
<p>
As for comparison, consider an instantiation of <code>composite_key_compare</code>
with types <code>Compare0</code>, ... , <code>Comparen</code> such that each
<code>Comparei</code> is a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/StrictWeakOrdering.html"><code>Strict
Weak Ordering</code></a> on the type <code>Ti</code>. Then, for a
<code>CompositeKey</code> type defined in the same manner as above,
<code>composite_key_compare</code> is a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/StrictWeakOrdering.html"><code>Strict
Weak Ordering</code></a> on elements of type
<code>composite_key_result&lt;CompositeKey></code>, and the order induced
is lexicographical. Also, the following types are
<a href="ord_indices.html#set_operations"><code>Compatible Keys</code></a> of
<code>composite_key_compare</code> with respect to
<code>composite_key_result&lt;CompositeKey></code>:
<blockquote>
<code>tuple&lt;Q0,...,Qk></code>, <code>k &lt;= n</code><br>
<code>composite_key_result&lt;composite_key&lt;K0,...,Kk> ></code>, with
<code>Ki::result_type = Qi</code> for all <code>i = 0,...,k</code>.
</blockquote>
provided that
<ul>
<li>for <code>i = 0,...,min(j,k)-1</code>, <code>Qi</code> is either <code>Ti</code>
or <i>not coarser</i> than <code>Ti</code> (<code>Qi</code> is a
<a href="ord_indices.html#set_operations"><code>Compatible Key</code></a>
of <code>Comparei</code> and there are no two distinct elements of
<code>Ti</code> equivalent to one single element of <code>Qi</code>);
</li>
<li>
<code>Qm</code> (with <code>m = min(j,k)</code>) is either <code>Tm</code> or a
<a href="ord_indices.html#set_operations"><code>Compatible Key</code></a>
of <code>Comparem</code>.
</li>
</ul>
In this case, the comparison is done
lexicographically only on the first <code>1+min(j,k)</code> elements.
</p>
<p>
Analogous properties hold for the equality and comparison operators
of <code>composite_key_result</code>. Note, however,
that equality is only defined for objects of the same length, whilst
comparison takes the minimum length of the operands considered.
Therefore, the equivalence classes induced by <code>x==y</code> are
subsets of those associated to <code>!(x&lt;y)&amp;&amp;!(y&lt;x)</code>.
