abstract Map<K, V>(IMap<K, V>)

package haxe.ds

@:transitive@:multiType(@:followWithAbstracts K)

Map allows key to value mapping for arbitrary value types, and many key types.

This is a multi-type abstract, it is instantiated as one of its specialization types depending on its type parameters.

A Map can be instantiated without explicit type parameters. Type inference will then determine the type parameters from the usage.

Maps can also be created with [key1 => value1, key2 => value2] syntax.

Map is an abstract type, it is not available at runtime.

Constructor

new()

Creates a new Map.

This becomes a constructor call to one of the specialization types in the output. The rules for that are as follows:

  1. if K is a String, haxe.ds.StringMap is used
  2. if K is an Int, haxe.ds.IntMap is used
  3. if K is an EnumValue, haxe.ds.EnumValueMap is used
  4. if K is any other class or structure, haxe.ds.ObjectMap is used
  5. if K is any other type, it causes a compile-time error

(Cpp) Map does not use weak keys on ObjectMap by default.
