How do I find elements with custom comparators with std::unordered_map in multithreaded code?

To find elements in an `std::unordered_map` using custom comparators in a multithreaded C++ application, you first need to ensure that your custom comparator can effectively hash the keys and handle thread safety. Below is an example that demonstrates how you can set up a custom comparator with `std::unordered_map` and safely access its elements under multithreaded conditions.

This example illustrates using custom hash functions and comparators with `std::unordered_map` in a multithreaded environment in C++.

#include <iostream> #include <unordered_map> #include <string> #include <shared_mutex> #include <thread> struct CustomHash { std::size_t operator()(const std::string& key) const { return std::hash<:string>()(key); } }; struct CustomEqual { bool operator()(const std::string& lhs, const std::string& rhs) const { return lhs == rhs; } }; class ThreadSafeMap { private: std::unordered_map<:string int customhash customequal> map_; mutable std::shared_mutex mutex_; public: void insert(const std::string& key, int value) { std::unique_lock lock(mutex_); map_[key] = value; } bool find(const std::string& key, int& value) { std::shared_lock lock(mutex_); auto it = map_.find(key); if (it != map_.end()) { value = it->second; return true; } return false; } }; void exampleUsage() { ThreadSafeMap ts_map; // Inserting elements ts_map.insert("key1", 1); ts_map.insert("key2", 2); // Finding elements int value; if (ts_map.find("key1", value)) { std::cout << "Found key1: " << value << std::endl; } } int main() { std::thread t1(exampleUsage); std::thread t2(exampleUsage); t1.join(); t2.join(); return 0; }
