Learn how to efficiently merge two std::map containers in C++ for embedded targets, optimizing memory usage and performance.

#include <iostream>
#include <map>

void mergeMaps(std::map& map1, const std::map& map2) {
    for (const auto& pair : map2) {
        map1[pair.first] = pair.second; // Merges map2 into map1
    }
}

int main() {
    std::map map1 = { {1, "One"}, {2, "Two"} };
    std::map map2 = { {2, "Deux"}, {3, "Three"} };

    mergeMaps(map1, map2);

    for (const auto& pair : map1) {
        std::cout << pair.first << ": " << pair.second << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}
