hash_set::reference

A type that provides a reference to an element stored in a hash_set.

typedef list<typename Traits::value_type, typename Traits::allocator_type>::reference reference;

Remarks

In Visual C++ .NET 2003, members of the <hash_map> and <hash_set> header files are no longer in the std namespace, but rather have been moved into the stdext namespace. See The stdext Namespace for more information.

Example

// hash_set_reference.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#define _DEFINE_DEPRECATED_HASH_CLASSES 0
#include <hash_set>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   using namespace stdext;
   hash_set <int> hs1;

   hs1.insert( 10 );
   hs1.insert( 20 );

   // Declare and initialize a reference &Ref1 to the 1st element
   int &Ref1 = *hs1.begin( );

   cout << "The first element in the hash_set is "
        << Ref1 << "." << endl;

   // The value of the 1st element of the hash_set can be changed
   // by operating on its (non-const) reference
   Ref1 = Ref1 + 5;

   cout << "The first element in the hash_set is now "
        << *hs1.begin() << "." << endl;
}

The first element in the hash_set is 10.
The first element in the hash_set is now 15.
