BDE 3.29.0 Highlights

This release consists of several small fixes and enhancements.

Optimization: Range Constructors/Insert Methods of Several Containers

The “range” constructors and insert methods of four standard containers – bsl::map, bsl::set, bsl::multimap and bsl::multiset – now attempt to reduce overhead by minimizing the number of allocation calls (possibly to one) and improve locality by placing elements in contiguous memory (possibly in a single block). This optimization requires that the user provide ForwardIterators or better. The “unordered” flavors of these four standard containers have had analogous optimizations for several years.

Users are encouraged to use these methods as the alternative, inserting elements in a hand-written loop, misses these opportunities for optimization.
