如何在 C + + 中创建一个无序的整数对集合?

下面的程序不会编译一组无序的整数对,但是会编译整数对。unordered_set及其成员函数可以用于用户定义的类型吗? 我如何定义它?

#include <unordered_set>
...


class A{
...
private:
std::unordered_set< std::pair<int, int> > u_edge_;
};

编译器错误:

错误: 没有调用‘ std: : unorder _ set > : : unorder _ set ()’的匹配函数

You are missing a hash function for std::pair<int, int>>. For example,

struct bad_hash
{
std::size_t operator()(const std::pair<int,int>& p) const
{
return 42;
}
};


....


std::unordered_set< std::pair<int, int>, bad_hash> u_edge_;

You can also specialize std::hash<T> for std::hash<std::pair<int,int>>, in which case you can omit the second template parameter.

The problem is that std::unordered_set is using std::hash template to compute hashes for its entries and there is no std::hash specialization for pairs. So you will have to do two things:

  1. Decide what hash function you want to use.
  2. Specialize std::hash for your key type (std::pair<int, int>) using that function.

Here is a simple example:

#include <unordered_set>


namespace std {
template <> struct hash<std::pair<int, int>> {
inline size_t operator()(const std::pair<int, int> &v) const {
std::hash<int> int_hasher;
return int_hasher(v.first) ^ int_hasher(v.second);
}
};


}


int main()
{
std::unordered_set< std::pair<int, int> > edge;
}

You need to provide a specialization for std::hash<> that works with std::pair<int, int>. Here is a very simple example of how you could define the specialization:

#include <utility>
#include <unordered_set>


namespace std
{
template<>
struct hash<std::pair<int, int>>
{
size_t operator () (std::pair<int, int> const& p)
{
// A bad example of computing the hash,
// rather replace with something more clever
return (std::hash<int>()(p.first) + std::hash<int>()(p.second));
}
};
}


class A
{
private:
// This won't give you problems anymore
std::unordered_set< std::pair<int, int> > u_edge_;
};

There is no standard way of computing a hash on a pair. Add this definition to your file:

struct pair_hash {
inline std::size_t operator()(const std::pair<int,int> & v) const {
return v.first*31+v.second;
}
};

Now you can use it like this:

std::unordered_set< std::pair<int, int>,  pair_hash> u_edge_;

This works, because pair<T1,T2> defines equality. For custom classes that do not provide a way to test equality you may need to provide a separate function to test if two instances are equal to each other.

Of course this solution is limited to a pair of two integers. Here is a link to an answer that helps you define a more general way of making hash for multiple objects.

Your code compiles on VS2010 SP1 (VC10), but it fails to compile with GCC g++ 4.7.2.

However, you may want to consider boost::hash from Boost.Functional to hash a std::pair (with this addition, your code compiles also with g++).

#include <unordered_set>
#include <boost/functional/hash.hpp>


class A
{
private:
std::unordered_set<
std::pair<int, int>,
boost::hash< std::pair<int, int> >
> u_edge_;
};

The other answers here all suggest building a hash function that somehow combines your two integers.

This will work, but produces non-unique hashes. Though this is fine for your use of unordered_set, for some applications it may be unacceptable. In your case, if you happen to choose a bad hash function, it may lead to many unnecessary collisions.

But you can produce unique hashes!

int is usually 4 bytes. You could make this explicit by using int32_t.

The hash's datatype is std::size_t. On most machines, this is 8 bytes. You can check this upon compilation.

Since a pair consists of two int32_t types, you can put both numbers into an std::size_t to make a unique hash.

That looks like this (I can't recall offhandedly how to force the compiler to treat a signed value as though it were unsigned for bit-manipulation, so I've written the following for uint32_t.):

#include <cassert>
#include <cstdint>
#include <unordered_set>
#include <utility>




struct IntPairHash {
std::size_t operator()(const std::pair<uint32_t, uint32_t> &p) const {
assert(sizeof(std::size_t)>=8);  //Ensure that std::size_t, the type of the hash, is large enough
//Shift first integer over to make room for the second integer. The two are
//then packed side by side.
return (((uint64_t)p.first)<<32) | ((uint64_t)p.second);
}
};


int main(){
std::unordered_set< std::pair<uint32_t, uint32_t>, IntPairHash> uset;
uset.emplace(10,20);
uset.emplace(20,30);
uset.emplace(10,20);
assert(uset.size()==2);
}

As already mentioned in most of the other answers on this question, you need to provide a hash function for std::pair<int, int>. However, since C++11, you can also use a lambda expression instead of defining a hash function. The following code takes the solution given by Sergey as basis:

auto hash = [](const std::pair<int, int>& p){ return p.first * 31 + p.second; };
std::unordered_set<std::pair<int, int>, decltype(hash)> u_edge_(8, hash);

Code on Ideone

I'd like repeat Sergey's disclaimer: This solution is limited to a pair of two integers. This answer provides the idea for a more general solution.

OK here is a simple solution with guaranteed non collisions. Simply reduce your problem to an existing solution i.e. convert your pair of int to string like so:

 auto stringify = [](const pair<int, int>& p, string sep = "-")-> string{
return to_string(p.first) + sep + to_string(p.second);
}


unordered_set<string> myset;
myset.insert(stringify(make_pair(1, 2)));
myset.insert(stringify(make_pair(3, 4)));
myset.insert(stringify(make_pair(5, 6)));

Enjoy!

To make a unordered_set of pairs, you can either create a custom hash function or you can make an unordered_set of strings.

  1. Create custom hash function: Creating the custom hash depends on the data. So there is no one size fits all hash function. A good hash function must have fewer collisions, so you need to consider the collision count while making the hash function.

  2. Using Strings: Using string is very simple and takes less time. It also guarantees few or no collisions. Instead of using an unordered_set<pair<int, int>> we use an unordered_set. We can represent the pair by separating the numbers with a separator (character or string). The example given below shows how you can insert pair of integers with the separator (";").

    auto StringPair = [](const pair<int, int>& x){return to_string(x.first) + ";" + to_string(x.second);}; unordered_set Set;

    vector<pair<int, int>> Nums = \{\{1,2}, {2, 3}, {4, 5}, {1,2}};

    for(auto & pair: Nums) { Set.insert(StringPair(pair)); }
