Class ConcurrentSmallDictionary<TKey, TValue>

Namespace
Vintagestory.Common
Assembly
VintagestoryAPI.dll

Use like any IDictionary. Similar to a FastSmallDictionary, but this one is thread-safe for simultaneous reads and writes - will not throw a ConcurrentModificationException
This also inherently behaves as an OrderedDictionary (though without the OrderedDictionary extension methods such as ValuesOrdered, those can be added in future if required)
Low-lock: there is no lock or interlocked operation except when adding new keys or when removing entries
Low-memory: and contains only a single null field, if it is empty
Two simultaneous writes, with the same key, at the same time, on different threads: small chance of throwing an intentional ConcurrentModificationException if both have the same keys, otherwise it's virtually impossible for us to preserve the rule that the Dictionary holds exactly one entry per key

ConcurrentSmallDictionary()

public ConcurrentSmallDictionary()

ConcurrentSmallDictionary(int)

public ConcurrentSmallDictionary(int capacity)

Parameters

capacity int

Properties

Count

Amount of entries currently in the Dictionary

public int Count { get; }

Property Value

int

IsReadOnly

Gets a value indicating whether the ICollection<T> is read-only.

public bool IsReadOnly { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if the ICollection<T> is read-only; otherwise, false.

this[TKey]

Gets or sets the element with the specified key.

public TValue this[TKey key] { get; set; }

Parameters

key TKey

The key of the element to get or set.

Property Value

TValue

The element with the specified key.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.

KeyNotFoundException

The property is retrieved and key is not found.

NotSupportedException

The property is set and the IDictionary<TKey, TValue> is read-only.

Keys

Gets an ICollection<T> containing the keys of the IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

public ICollection<TKey> Keys { get; }

Property Value

ICollection<TKey>

An ICollection<T> containing the keys of the object that implements IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

Values

Gets an ICollection<T> containing the values in the IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

public ICollection<TValue> Values { get; }

Property Value

ICollection<TValue>

An ICollection<T> containing the values in the object that implements IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

Methods

Add(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>)

Adds an item to the ICollection<T>.

public void Add(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item)

Parameters

item KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>

The object to add to the ICollection<T>.

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

The ICollection<T> is read-only.

Add(TKey, TValue)

Adds an element with the provided key and value to the IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

public void Add(TKey key, TValue value)

Parameters

key TKey

The object to use as the key of the element to add.

value TValue

The object to use as the value of the element to add.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.

ArgumentException

An element with the same key already exists in the IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

NotSupportedException

The IDictionary<TKey, TValue> is read-only.

Clear()

Wipes the contents and resets the count.

public void Clear()

Contains(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>)

Determines whether the ICollection<T> contains a specific value.

public bool Contains(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item)

Parameters

item KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>

The object to locate in the ICollection<T>.

Returns

bool

true if item is found in the ICollection<T>; otherwise, false.

ContainsKey(TKey)

Determines whether the IDictionary<TKey, TValue> contains an element with the specified key.

public bool ContainsKey(TKey key)

Parameters

key TKey

The key to locate in the IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

Returns

bool

true if the IDictionary<TKey, TValue> contains an element with the key; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.

CopyTo(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>[], int)

Copies the elements of the ICollection<T> to an Array, starting at a particular Array index.

public void CopyTo(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>[] array, int arrayIndex)

Parameters

array KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>[]

The one-dimensional Array that is the destination of the elements copied from ICollection<T>. The Array must have zero-based indexing.

arrayIndex int

The zero-based index in array at which copying begins.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

array is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

arrayIndex is less than 0.

ArgumentException

The number of elements in the source ICollection<T> is greater than the available space from arrayIndex to the end of the destination array.

GetEnumerator()

Threadsafe: but this might occasionally enumerate over a value which has, meanwhile, been removed from the Dictionary by a different thread Iterate over .Keys or .Values instead if an instantaneous snapshot is required (which will also therefore be a historical snapshot, if another thread meanwhile makes changes)

public IEnumerator<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>> GetEnumerator()

Returns

IEnumerator<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>

IsEmpty()

public bool IsEmpty()

Returns

bool

Remove(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>)

Removes the first occurrence of a specific object from the ICollection<T>.

public bool Remove(KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item)

Parameters

item KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>

The object to remove from the ICollection<T>.

Returns

bool

true if item was successfully removed from the ICollection<T>; otherwise, false. This method also returns false if item is not found in the original ICollection<T>.

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

The ICollection<T> is read-only.

Remove(TKey)

Removes the element with the specified key from the IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

public bool Remove(TKey key)

Parameters

key TKey

The key of the element to remove.

Returns

bool

true if the element is successfully removed; otherwise, false. This method also returns false if key was not found in the original IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.

NotSupportedException

The IDictionary<TKey, TValue> is read-only.

TryGetValue(TKey)

public TValue TryGetValue(TKey key)

Parameters

key TKey

Returns

TValue

TryGetValue(TKey, out TValue)

Gets the value associated with the specified key.

public bool TryGetValue(TKey key, out TValue value)

Parameters

key TKey

The key whose value to get.

value TValue

When this method returns, the value associated with the specified key, if the key is found; otherwise, the default value for the type of the value parameter. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Returns

bool

true if the object that implements IDictionary<TKey, TValue> contains an element with the specified key; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.
