Function Details

bool is_hash() const

Determines whether this container object is a std::map<> equivalent(when returns false) or that of hash_map<> class(when returns true). This method is not in stl, but it may be called by users because some operations are not supported by both type(map/hash_map) of containers, you need to call this function to distinguish the two types. dbstl will not stop you from calling the wrong methods of this class.
