<p>
          Remember that a map can be interpreted as a relation between two collections.
          In bimaps we have the freedom to change both collection types, imposing
          constrains in each of them. Some insertions that we give for granted to
          success in standard maps fails with bimaps. For example:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">bimap</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">bm</span><span class="special">;</span>

<span class="identifier">bm</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">left</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">insert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="string">"orange"</span><span class="special">);</span>
<span class="identifier">bm</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">left</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">insert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="string">"orange"</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// No effect! returns make_pair(iter,false)</span>
</pre>
<p>
          The insertion will only succeed if it is allowed by all views of the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">bimap</span></code>. In the next snippet we define
          the right collection as a multiset, when we try to insert the same two
          elements the second insertion is allowed by the left map view because both
          values are different and it is allowed by the right map view because it
          is a non-unique collection type.
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">bimap</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">multiset_of</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">bm</span><span class="special">;</span>

<span class="identifier">bm</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">left</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">insert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="string">"orange"</span><span class="special">);</span>

</pre>
<p>
          If we use a custom collection of relation type, the insertion has to be
          allowed by it too.

<p>
          The relations stored in the Bimap will not be in most cases modifiable
          directly by iterators because both sides are used as keys of <span class="emphasis"><em>key-based</em></span>
          sets. When a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">bimap</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">A</span><span class="special">,</span><span class="identifier">B</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> left view iterator is dereferenced
          the return type is <span class="emphasis"><em>signature-compatible</em></span> with a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">A</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">B</span> <span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.
          However there are some collection types that are not <span class="emphasis"><em>key_based</em></span>,
          for example list_of. If a Bimap uses one of these collection types there
          is no problem with modifying the data of that side. The following code
          is valid:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">bimap</span><span class="special">&lt;</span> <span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">list_of</span><span class="special">&lt;</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span> <span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">bm_type</span><span class="special">;</span>

</pre>
<p>
          In this case, when the iterator is dereferenced the return type is <span class="emphasis"><em>signature-compatible</em></span>
          with a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">pair</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keyword">int</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code>.

          to retrieve the associated data of a given key only when the other collection

<p>
          The standard defines an access function for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">map</span></code>
          and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">unordered_map</span></code>:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">data_type</span> <span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">at</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">key_type</span> <span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">k</span><span class="special">)</span> <span class="keyword">const</span><span class="special">;</span>

</pre>
<p>
          These functions look for a key and returns the associated data value, but
          throws a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">out_of_range</span></code> exception if the key is
          not found.
        </p>
<p>
          In bimaps the constant version of these functions is given for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">set_of</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">unorderd_set_of</span></code>
          map views independently of the other collection type. The mutable version
          is only provided when the other collection type is mutable.
