<h2><a name="factory">Factories and factory specifiers</a></h2>
<p>
Given a type <code>Key</code> and an
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Assignable.html"><code>Assignable</code></a>
type <code>Entry</code> implicitly convertible to <code>const Key&amp;</code>, a
<i>factory of <code>Entry</code> elements</i> (implicitly associated to
<code>Key</code>) is a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/DefaultConstructible.html"><code>Default
Constructible</code></a> entity able to store and retrieve immutable elements of
type <code>Entry</code>. A factory is governed by an associated equivalence
relation defined on <code>Key</code> so that no two
<code>Entry</code> objects convertible to equivalent <code>Key</code>s
can be stored simultaneously in the factory. Different factory types can
use different equivalence relations.
</p>
<p>
In the following table, <code>Factory</code> is a factory of elements
of type <code>Entry</code>, <code>f</code> denotes an object of type <code>Factory</code>,
<code>x</code> is an object of type <code>Entry</code> and <code>h</code> is a
value of <code>Factory::handle_type</code>.
</p>
<p align="center">
<table cellspacing="0">
<caption><b>Factory requirements.</b></caption>
<tr>
<th align="center">expression</th>
<th align="center">return type</th>
<th align="center">assertion/note<br>pre/post-condition</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>Factory::handle_type</code></td>
<td>handle to elements of type <code>T</code><br>
stored in the factory
</td>
<td><code>handle_type</code> is
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Assignable.html"><code>Assignable</code></a>
and its copy and<br>
assignment operations never throw an exception.
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd_tr">
<td><code>f.insert(x);</code></td>
<td><code>handle_type</code></td>
<td>Inserts a copy of <code>x</code> if there is no equivalent entry in <code>f</code>;<br>
returns a handle to the inserted or equivalent element.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>f.erase(h);</code></td>
<td><code>void</code></td>
<td>Erases the element associated to <code>h</code>.<br>
This operation does not throw.
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd_tr">
<td><code>f.entry(h);</code></td>
<td><code>const Entry&amp;</code></td>
<td>Returns a reference to the element associated to <code>h</code>.<br>
This operation does not throw.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</p>
<p>
Additionally to the basic thread safety guarantee which is implicitly assumed
for most classes including the majority of components of the
C++ standard library, it is required that the member function <code>entry</code>
can be invoked simultaneously from different threads, even in the presence
of concurrent accesses to <code>insert</code> and <code>erase</code> (as long
as the entry returned by <code>entry</code> is not the one which is being
erased).
</p>
<p>
A type <code>S</code> is said to be a <i>factory specifier</i> if:
<ol>
<li>One of the following conditions is satisfied:
<ol type="a">
<li><a href="#is_factory"><code>is_factory&lt;S&gt;::type</code></a> is
<a href="../../../mpl/doc/refmanual/bool.html"><code>boost::mpl::true_</code></a>,</li>
<li><code>S</code> is of the form <a href="#factory_construct"><code>factory&lt;S'&gt;</code></a>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><code>S</code>, or <code>S'</code> if (b) applies, is an
<a href="../../../mpl/doc/refmanual/lambda-expression.html"><code>MPL Lambda
Expression</code></a> such that invoking it with types (<code>Entry</code>,
<code>Key</code>) resolves to a factory type of <code>Entry</code> elements
(implicitly associated to <code>Key</code>).
</li>
</ol>

<code>Container</code> must be an (ordered or unordered) associative container
such that
<ol>
<li><code>Container::key_type</code> is the same as
<code>Container::value_type</code> (which is the entry type associated to
the factory).
</li>
<li>Unique keys (rather than equivalent keys) are supported.</li>
<li><code>Container</code> is <i>stable</i>, i.e. its iterators are not
invalidated upon insert or erase operations.</li>
</ol>
The equivalence relation associated to <code>assoc_container_factory_class</code>
is the one induced by <code>Container</code>. If equivalence of elements
of <code>Container::value_type</code> is determined solely on the basis of a
type <code>value_type'</code> to which <code>value_type</code> is
implicitly convertible, then <code>assoc_container_factory_class</code> is
a factory of entries of type <code>value_type</code> implicitly associated to
<code>value_type'</code>. For example, the instantiation
