Multiple keys Hash Table (unordered_map)

Question

I need to use multiple keys(int type) to store and retrieve a single value from a hash table. I would use multiple key to index a single item. I need fast insertion and look up for the hash table. By the way, I am not allowed to use the Boost library in the implementation.

How could I do that?

Answer 1

If you mean that two ints form a single key then unordered_map<std::pair<int,int>, value_type>. If you want to index the same set of data by multiple keys then look at Boost.MultiIndex.
