So I am looking for a data structure which needs a FIFO behaviour but should also have a quick look up time by value.
In my current code I have some data duplication. I use a std::unordered_set and std::queue for achieving the behaviour I want but there's probably a better way of achieving this that I'm not thinking of at the moment. I have a function that adds my new entry to both the set and the queue when a new entry comes up. To search if an entry exists in the queue I use find() in the set. Laslty, I have a timer that is set off after an insertion to the queue. After a minute I get the entry in the front of the queue with queue.front(), then I use this value to erase from the set, and finally I do a pop on the queue.
This all works as expected and gives me both the FIFO behaviour and the constant time complexity for the look up but I have data duplication and I was wondering if there is a data structure (maybe something form boost?) which does what I want without the duplication.
