Clone of Google's cpp-btree B-tree set and map containers, with minor fixes/modifications.

This library is a C++ template library and, as such, there is no library to build and install. Copy the .h files and use them!

See http://code.google.com/p/cpp-btree/wiki/UsageInstructions for details.


To build and run the provided tests, however, you will need to install CMake, the Google C++ Test framework, and the Google flags package.

Download and install CMake from http://www.cmake.org

Download and build the GoogleTest framework from http://code.google.com/p/googletest

Download and install gflags from https://code.google.com/p/gflags

Set GTEST_ROOT to the directory where GTEST was built. Set GFLAGS_ROOT to the directory prefix where GFLAGS is installed.

export GTEST_ROOT=/path/for/gtest-x.y export GFLAGS_ROOT=/opt

cmake . -Dbuild_tests=ON

For example, to build on a Unix system with the clang++ compiler,

export GTEST_ROOT=$(HOME)/src/googletest export GFLAGS_ROOT=/opt cmake . -G "Unix Makefiles" -Dbuild_tests=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++


Note that this is a modified version of the original at http://code.google.com/p/cpp-btree

Changes include:

  • Changing size_type from ssize_t to size_t, remove remaining uses of ssize_t
  • Adding cbegin, cend, crbegin, crend.
  • Adding key_comp
  • Adding move constructors/assignment.
  • No longer #define NDEBUG if unset, this can clash with other headers, test for BTREE_DEBUG being defined instead
  • Add noexcept to swap-based move constructors and copy/move assignment operator
  • Remove use of deprecated std::allocator::rebind type
  • Adding support for uncopyable/move-only map/multimap values (not keys).
  • Fix ambiguous comparison operator warnings/errors when compiling with C++20.

CMakeLists-pthreads-fix.txt is a modified copy of CMakeLists.txt which includes -lpthreads when building the tests/benchmarks. Using this instead fixes compilation on some platforms.
