The SGI hashing classes <code class="classname">hash_set</code> and
<code class="classname">hash_set</code> have been deprecated by the
unordered_set, unordered_multiset, unordered_map,
unordered_multimap containers in TR1 and the upcoming C++0x, and
may be removed in future releases.
</p><p>The SGI headers</p><pre class="programlisting">
&lt;hash_map&gt;
&lt;hash_set&gt;
&lt;rope&gt;
&lt;slist&gt;
&lt;rb_tree&gt;
</pre><p>are all here;
<code class="code">&lt;hash_map&gt;</code> and <code class="code">&lt;hash_set&gt;</code>
are deprecated but available as backwards-compatible extensions,
as discussed further below. <code class="code">&lt;rope&gt;</code> is the
SGI specialization for large strings ("rope,"
"large strings," get it? Love that geeky humor.)
<code class="code">&lt;slist&gt;</code> is a singly-linked list, for when the
doubly-linked <code class="code">list&lt;&gt;</code> is too much space
overhead, and <code class="code">&lt;rb_tree&gt;</code> exposes the red-black
tree classes used in the implementation of the standard maps and
sets.
</p><p>Each of the associative containers map, multimap, set, and multiset
have a counterpart which uses a
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/HashFunction.html" target="_top">hashing
function</a> to do the arranging, instead of a strict weak ordering
function. The classes take as one of their template parameters a
function object that will return the hash value; by default, an
instantiation of
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/hash.html" target="_top">hash</a>.
You should specialize this functor for your class, or define your own,
before trying to use one of the hashing classes.
</p><p>The hashing classes support all the usual associative container
functions, as well as some extra constructors specifying the number
of buckets, etc.
</p><p>Why would you want to use a hashing class instead of the
<span class="quote"><span class="quote">normal</span></span>implementations? Matt Austern writes:

<span class="emphasis"><em>[W]ith a well chosen hash function, hash tables
generally provide much better average-case performance than
binary search trees, and much worse worst-case performance. So
if your implementation has hash_map, if you don't mind using
nonstandard components, and if you aren't scared about the
possibility of pathological cases, you'll probably get better
performance from hash_map.
