SYNOPSYS

A class for: l = {1,3,...9} i.e. a wrapper for STL set<size_t> with some assignment operators, such as l1 += l2. This class is suitable for use with the disarray<T> class, as disarray<index_set> (see disarray(2)).

IMPLEMENTATION

class index_set : public std::set<std::size_t> {
public:
// typedefs:
  typedef std::set<std::size_t>    base;

// allocators:
  index_set ();
  index_set (const index_set& x);
  index_set& operator= (const index_set& x);
  template <int N>
  index_set& operator= (size_type x[N]);
  void clear ();
// basic algebra:
  void       insert     (size_type dis_i);    // a := a union {dis_i}
  index_set& operator+= (size_type dis_i);    // idem
  index_set& operator+= (const index_set& b); // a := a union b
  // a := a union b

  friend void set_intersection (const index_set& a, const index_set& b, index_set& c);
// io:

  friend std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& os, const index_set& x);
