Does someone know any good interval tree implementation in C++?
Obviously, something template-driven, better in boost-like style.
And another question - if somebody tested, does a basic std::vector-based interval tree implementation with sorting can beat the generic interval tree (with O(lg) operations) in practice?
Boost-like ? Boost ICL!
The Boost Interval Container Library
I had exactly the same need. I couldn't find any suitable (simple, modern, portable) implementations, so I used a python implementation by Brent Pedersen as a guide and wrote a barebones C++ version. The IntervalTree behaves like a standard STL container, with some caveats due to its simplicity (no iterators, for instance). You use it like this ("T" is an arbitrary type):
vector<Interval<T> > intervals;
// ... make intervals!
IntervalTree<T> tree(intervals);
And you query it like this:
vector<Interval<T> > results;
tree.findContained(start, stop, results);
// results now contains Intervals which are fully contained in the query interval
results.clear();
tree.findOverlapping(start, stop, results);
// results now contains Intervals which overlap the query interval
There appears to be one in the NCBI C++ Toolkit.
Jury's still out on whether it's "good," though (and even whether it's template-driven; I'm still somewhat new to C++, so I'm not entirely sure that it is, but I suspect as much).
I uploaded simple implementation of Interval Tree to github: https://github.com/coolsoftware/ITree
Look class itree in itree.h.
if you don't mind translating a c# implementation to c++, goto http://code.google.com/p/intervaltree/ .based on an avl self balancing tree.
