Detailed Description

template<class HeapEntry, class HeapInterface = HeapEntry>
class ACG::HeapT< HeapEntry, HeapInterface >

An efficient, highly customizable heap.

The main difference (and performace boost) of this heap compared to e.g. the heap of the STL is that here to positions of the heap's elements are accessible from the elements themself. Therefore if one changes the priority of an element one does not have to remove and re-insert this element, but can just call the update(HeapEntry) method.

This heap class is parameterized by two template arguments:

  • the class HeapEntry, that will be stored in the heap
  • the HeapInterface telling the heap how to compare heap entries and how to store the heap positions in the heap entries.

template<class HeapEntry , class HeapInterface = HeapEntry>
void ACG::HeapT< HeapEntry, HeapInterface >::update ( HeapEntry  _h)
inline

update an entry: change the key and update the position to reestablish the heap property.
