b-tree

This is an efficient in-memory B+ tree implementation, supporting any type of keys and values (provided that the assignment function and compare function of the data types used exist or are implemented).

mkdir build
cd build

Generate the makefile by CMake:

cmake ..

Compile the source files:

make 

Make sure every thing is right by running test:

make test

After the compiling, two executables, b_tree and btree_test will be generated. b_tree runs performance benchmark and btree_test runs the tests.

How to use our B+tree

BPlusTree<long, int, 16> tree; // constrcut a B+ tree instance, in which the keys are of long type, the values are of int type and the fanout is 16.
tree.insert(16, 0); // insert key-value pair (16, 0) to the tree
tree.insert(17, 17); // insert key-value pair (17, 17) to the tree

tree.update(16, 16); // update the value associated with key 16
tree.delete_key(17); // remove key-value pair with key 17

int value;
if (tree.search(16, value)) // retrieve the value associated with key 16.
    std::cout << "value is " << value << std::endl;
else
    std::cout << "not found" << std::endl;
    
std::cout << "B+tree: " << tree << std::endl; // dump the tree
