<h3><a name="unique_non_unique">
Index specifiers <code>ordered_unique</code> and <code>ordered_non_unique</code>
</a></h3>
<p>
These <a href="indices.html#index_specification">index specifiers</a> allow
for insertion of <a href="#ord_indices">ordered indices</a> without and with
allowance of duplicate elements, respectively. The syntax of <code>ordered_unique</code>
and <code>ordered_non_unique</code> coincide, thus we describe them in a grouped manner.
<code>ordered_unique</code> and <code>ordered_non_unique</code> can be instantiated in
two different forms, according to whether a tag list for the index is provided or not:

<p>
If provided, <code>TagList</code> must be an instantiation of the class template
<a href="#tag"><code>tag</code></a>.
The template arguments are used by the corresponding index implementation,
refer to the <a href="#ord_indices">ordered indices</a> reference section for further
explanations on their acceptable type values.
</p>
<h3><a name="ord_indices">Ordered indices</a></h3>
<p>
An ordered index provides a set-like interface to the underlying heap of
elements contained in a <code>multi_index_container</code>. An ordered index is
particularized according to a given
<a href="key_extraction.html#key_extractors"><code>Key Extractor</code></a>
that retrieves keys from elements of <code>multi_index_container</code> and a comparison
predicate.
</p>
<p>
There are two variants of ordered indices: <i>unique</i>, which do
not allow duplicate elements (with respect to its associated comparison
predicate) and <i>non-unique</i>, which accept those duplicates.
The interface of these two variants is the same, so they are documented
together, with minor differences explicitly stated when they exist.
</p>
<p>
Except where noted, ordered indices (both unique and non-unique) are models of
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/SortedAssociativeContainer.html">
<code>Sorted Associative Container</code></a> and
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/UniqueAssociativeContainer.html">
<code>Unique Associative Container</code></a>, much as <code>std::set</code>s
are. Accordingly, validity of iterators and references to elements is
preserved. We only provide descriptions of those types and operations that are
either not present in the concepts modeled or do not exactly conform to the
requirements for these types of containers.

<h4><a name="complexity_signature">Complexity signature</a></h4>
<p>
Here and in the descriptions of operations of ordered indices, we adopt the
scheme outlined in the
<a href="indices.html#complexity_signature">complexity signature
section</a>. The complexity signature of ordered indices is:
<ul>
<li>copying: <code>c(n)=n*log(n)</code>,</li>
<li>insertion: <code>i(n)=log(n)</code>,</li>
<li>hinted insertion: <code>h(n)=1</code> (constant) if the hint element
precedes the point of insertion, <code>h(n)=log(n)</code> otherwise,</li>
<li>deletion: <code>d(n)=1</code> (constant),</li>
<li>replacement: <code>r(n)=1</code> (constant) if the element position does not
change, <code>r(n)=log(n)</code> otherwise,</li>
<li>modifying: <code>m(n)=1</code> (constant) if the element position does not
change, <code>m(n)=log(n)</code> otherwise.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h4><a name="instantiation_types">Instantiation types</a></h4>
<p>Ordered indices are instantiated internally to <code>multi_index_container</code> and
specified by means of <a href="indices.html#indexed_by"><code>indexed_by</code></a>
with <a href="#unique_non_unique"> index specifiers <code>ordered_unique</code>
and <code>ordered_non_unique</code></a>. Instantiations are dependent on the
following types:
<ul>
<li><code>Value</code> from <code>multi_index_container</code>,</li>
<li><code>Allocator</code> from <code>multi_index_container</code>,</li>
<li><code>TagList</code> from the index specifier (if provided),</li>
<li><code>KeyFromValue</code> from the index specifier,</li>
<li><code>Compare</code> from the index specifier.</li>
</ul>
<code>TagList</code> must be an instantiation of
<a href="indices.html#tag"><code>tag</code></a>. The type <code>KeyFromValue</code>,
which determines the mechanism for extracting a key from <code>Value</code>,
must be a model of <a href="key_extraction.html#key_extractors">
<code>Key Extractor</code></a> from <code>Value</code>. <code>Compare</code> is a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/StrictWeakOrdering.html">
<code>Strict Weak Ordering</code></a> on elements of
<code>KeyFromValue::result_type</code>.
</p>
<h4><a name="constructors">Constructors, copy and assignment</a></h4>
<p>
As explained in the <a href="indices.html#index_concepts">index
concepts section</a>, indices do not have public constructors or destructors.
Assignment, on the other hand, is provided.

<h4><a name="set_operations">Set operations</a></h4>
<p>
Ordered indices provide the full lookup functionality required by
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/SortedAssociativeContainer.html">
<code>Sorted Associative Containers</code></a> and
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/UniqueAssociativeContainer.html">
<code>Unique Associative Containers</code></a>, namely <code>find</code>,
<code>count</code>, <code>lower_bound</code>, <code>upper_bound</code>
and <code>equal_range</code>. Additionally, these member functions are
templatized to allow for non-standard arguments, so extending
the types of search operations allowed. The kind of arguments permissible
when invoking the lookup member functions is defined by the following
concept.
</p>
<p>
Consider a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/StrictWeakOrdering.html">
<code>Strict Weak Ordering</code></a> <code>Compare</code> over values
of type <code>Key</code>. A pair of types (<code>CompatibleKey</code>,
<code>CompatibleCompare</code>) is said to be a <i>compatible extension</i>
of <code>Compare</code> if
<ol>
<li><code>CompatibleCompare</code> is a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/BinaryPredicate.html">
<code>Binary Predicate</code></a> over (<code>Key</code>,
<code>CompatibleKey</code>),</li>
<li><code>CompatibleCompare</code> is a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/BinaryPredicate.html">
<code>Binary Predicate</code></a> over (<code>CompatibleKey</code>,
<code>Key</code>),</li>
<li>if <code>c_comp(ck,k1)</code> then <code>!c_comp(k1,ck)</code>,</li>
<li>if <code>!c_comp(ck,k1)</code> and <code>!comp(k1,k2)</code> then
<code>!c_comp(ck,k2)</code>,</li>
<li>if <code>!c_comp(k1,ck)</code> and <code>!comp(k2,k1)</code> then
<code>!c_comp(k2,ck)</code>,</li>
</ol>
for every <code>c_comp</code> of type <code>CompatibleCompare</code>,
<code>comp</code> of type <code>Compare</code>, <code>ck</code> of type
<code>CompatibleKey</code> and <code>k1</code>, <code>k2</code> of type
<code>Key</code>.
</p>
<p>Additionally, a type <code>CompatibleKey</code> is said to be a
<i>compatible key</i> of <code>Compare</code> if (<code>CompatibleKey</code>,
<code>Compare</code>) is a compatible extension of <code>Compare</code>.
This implies that <code>Compare</code>, as well as being a strict
weak ordering, accepts arguments of type <code>CompatibleKey</code>,
which usually means it has several overloads of <code>operator()</code>.
</p>
<p>
In the context of a compatible extension or a compatible key, the expressions
"equivalent", "less than" and "greater than" take on their obvious
interpretations.

<h4><a name="range_operations">Range operations</a></h4>
<p>
The member function <code>range</code> is not defined for sorted associative
containers, but ordered indices provide it as a convenient utility. A range
or interval is defined by two conditions for the lower and upper bounds, which
are modeled after the following concepts.
</p>
<p>
Consider a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/StrictWeakOrdering.html">
<code>Strict Weak Ordering</code></a> <code>Compare</code> over values
of type <code>Key</code>. A type <code>LowerBounder</code> is said to be
a <i>lower bounder</i> of <code>Compare</code> if
<ol>
<li><code>LowerBounder</code> is a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Predicate.html">
<code>Predicate</code></a> over <code>Key</code>,</li>
<li>if <code>lower(k1)</code> and <code>!comp(k2,k1)</code> then
<code>lower(k2)</code>,</li>
</ol>
for every <code>lower</code> of type <code>LowerBounder</code>,
<code>comp</code> of type <code>Compare</code>, and <code>k1</code>,
<code>k2</code> of type <code>Key</code>. Similarly, an <i>upper bounder</i>
is a type <code>UpperBounder</code> such that
<ol>
<li><code>UpperBounder</code> is a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Predicate.html">
<code>Predicate</code></a> over <code>Key</code>,</li>
<li>if <code>upper(k1)</code> and <code>!comp(k1,k2)</code> then
<code>upper(k2)</code>,</li>
</ol>
for every <code>upper</code> of type <code>UpperBounder</code>,
<code>comp</code> of type <code>Compare</code>, and <code>k1</code>,
<code>k2</code> of type <code>Key</code>.
</p>
<code>template&lt;typename LowerBounder,typename UpperBounder><br>
std::pair&lt;const_iterator,const_iterator> range(<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;LowerBounder lower,UpperBounder upper)const;
</code>
<blockquote>
<b>Requires:</b> <code>LowerBounder</code> and <code>UpperBounder</code> are
a lower and upper bounder of <code>key_compare</code>, respectively.</br>
<b>Effects:</b> Returns a pair of iterators pointing to the beginning and one
past the end of the subsequence of elements satisfying <code>lower</code> and
<code>upper</code> simultaneously. If no such elements exist, the iterators
both point to the first element satisfying <code>lower</code>, or else
are equal to <code>end()</code> if this latter element does not exist.<br>
<b>Complexity:</b> <code>O(log(n))</code>.<br>
<b>Variants:</b> In place of <code>lower</code> or <code>upper</code> (or both),
the singular value <code>boost::multi_index::unbounded</code> can be
provided. This acts as a predicate which all values of type <code>key_type</code>
satisfy.<br>
