For an associative array, what is the best idiom that allows for
checking if a key exists in the AA. If it does do something with
the value, if not initialize the value and then do something with
it.
In this code: http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/daab318f
How would this piece be improved? It looks like it would have to
perform the hash and do a find 3 times:
auto exists = (k in _dataMap);
if(!exists) {
_dataMap[k] = init;
exists = (k in _dataMap);
}
... use *exists
At a higher level and assuming the general goal of this basic
struct is clear, any other suggestions welcome.
Also, an FYI to dpaste maintainer that the compiler service has
been unavailable for a while.
Thanks
