    <p>I have a some large data structure (N > 10,000) that usually only needs to be created once (at runtime), and can be reused many times afterwards, but it needs to be loaded very quickly. (It is used for user input processing on iPhoneOS.) <code>mmap</code>-ing a file seems to be the best choice. </p> <p>Are there any data structure libraries for C++ (or C)? Something along the line</p> <pre><code>ReadOnlyHashTable&lt;char, int&gt; table ("filename.hash"); // mmap(...) inside the c'tor ... int freq = table.get('a'); ... // munmap(...); inside the d'tor. </code></pre> <p>Thank you!</p> <hr> <h2>Details:</h2> <p>I've written a similar class for hash table myself but I find it pretty hard to maintain, so I would like to see if there's existing solutions already. The library should</p> <ul> <li>Contain a <em>creation</em> routine that serialize the data structure into file. This part doesn't need to be fast.</li> <li>Contain a <em>loading</em> routine that mmap a file into read-only (or read-write) data structure that can be usable within O(1) steps of processing.</li> <li>Use O(N) amount of disk/memory space with a small constant factor. (The device has serious memory constraint.)</li> <li>Small time overhead to accessors. (i.e. the complexity isn't modified.)</li> </ul> <p>Assumptions:</p> <ul> <li>Bit representation of data (e.g. endianness, encoding of <code>float</code>, etc.) does not matter since it is only used locally.</li> <li>So far the possible types of data I need are integers, strings, and <code>struct</code>'s of them. Pointers do not appear.</li> </ul> <p>P.S. Can <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/doc/html/intrusive.html" rel="noreferrer">Boost.intrusive</a> help?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
