end Ada.Containers.Hashed_Maps;
 An object of type Map contains an expandable hash 
table, which is used to provide direct access to nodes. The 
capacity 
of an object of type Map is the maximum number of nodes that can be inserted 
into the hash table prior to it being automatically expanded.
 
 Two keys 
K1 and 
K2 
are defined to be 
equivalent if Equivalent_Keys (
K1, 
K2) 
returns True.
 
 The actual function for the generic formal function 
Hash is expected to return the same value each time it is called with 
a particular key value. For any two equivalent key values, the actual 
for Hash is expected to return the same value. If the actual for Hash 
behaves in some other manner, the behavior of this package is unspecified. 
Which subprograms of this package call Hash, and how many times they 
call it, is unspecified.
 
 The actual function for the generic formal function 
Equivalent_Keys on Key_Type values is expected to return the same value 
each time it is called with a particular pair of key values. It should 
define an equivalence relationship, that is, be reflexive, symmetric, 
and transitive. If the actual for Equivalent_Keys behaves in some other 
manner, the behavior of this package is unspecified. Which subprograms 
of this package call Equivalent_Keys, and how many times they call it, 
is unspecified.
 
 If the value of a key stored in a node of a map 
is changed other than by an operation in this package such that at least 
one of Hash or Equivalent_Keys give different results, the behavior of 
this package is unspecified.
 
 Which 
nodes are the first node and the last node of a map, and which node is 
the successor of a given node, are unspecified, other than the general 
semantics described in 
A.18.4.
 
function Capacity (Container : Map) return Count_Type;
Returns the capacity 
of Container.
procedure Reserve_Capacity (Container : in out Map;
                            Capacity  : in     Count_Type);
Reserve_Capacity allocates a new hash table such 
that the length of the resulting map can become at least the value Capacity 
without requiring an additional call to Reserve_Capacity, and is large 
enough to hold the current length of Container. Reserve_Capacity then 
rehashes the nodes in Container onto the new hash table. It replaces 
the old hash table with the new hash table, and then deallocates the 
old hash table. Any exception raised during allocation is propagated 
and Container is not modified.
Reserve_Capacity 
tampers with the cursors of Container.
procedure Clear (Container : in out Map);
In addition to the 
semantics described in 
A.18.4, Clear does 
not affect the capacity of Container.
 
procedure Assign (Target : in out Map; Source : in Map);
In addition to the 
semantics described in 
A.18.4, if the length 
of Source is greater than the capacity of Target, Reserve_Capacity (Target, 
Length (Source)) is called before assigning any elements.
 
function Copy (Source : Map; Capacity : Count_Type := 0) return Map;
Returns a map whose 
keys and elements are initialized from the keys and elements of Source. 
If Capacity is 0, then the map capacity is the length of Source; if Capacity 
is equal to or greater than the length of Source, the map capacity is 
at least the specified value. Otherwise, the operation propagates Capacity_Error.
procedure Insert (Container : in out Map;
                  Key       : in     Key_Type;
                  New_Item  : in     Element_Type;
                  Position  :    out Cursor;
                  Inserted  :    out Boolean);
In addition to the 
semantics described in 
A.18.4, if Length 
(Container) equals Capacity (Container), then Insert first calls Reserve_Capacity 
to increase the capacity of Container to some larger value.
 
function Equivalent_Keys (Left, Right : Cursor)
      return Boolean;
Equivalent to Equivalent_Keys 
(Key (Left), Key (Right)).
function Equivalent_Keys (Left  : Cursor;
                          Right : Key_Type) return Boolean;
Equivalent to Equivalent_Keys 
(Key (Left), Right).
function Equivalent_Keys (Left  : Key_Type;
                          Right : Cursor) return Boolean;
Equivalent to Equivalent_Keys 
(Left, Key (Right)).
function Iterate (Container : in Map)
   return Map_Iterator_Interfaces.Forward_Iterator'Class;
Iterate returns 
an iterator object (see 
5.5.1) that will 
generate a value for a loop parameter (see 
5.5.2) 
designating each node in Container, starting with the first node and 
moving the cursor according to the successor relation. Tampering with 
the cursors of Container is prohibited while the iterator object exists 
(in particular, in the 
sequence_of_statements 
of the 
loop_statement 
whose 
iterator_specification 
denotes this object). The iterator object needs finalization.
 
Implementation Advice
 If N is the length of a map, the average 
time complexity of the subprograms Element, Insert, Include, Replace, 
Delete, Exclude and Find that take a key parameter should be O(log 
N). The average time complexity of the subprograms that take a 
cursor parameter should be O(1). The average time complexity of 
Reserve_Capacity should be O(N).
