3693,unordered_set::erase(iterator) complexity,jzwinck@…,Daniel James,"Recently raised on the Developers mailing list is the issue that `unordered_set::erase(iterator)` has complexity O(bucket_count):

The same issue came up just three weeks ago on the GCC bug tracker:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41975

It was also warned about in 2006:

Daniel James suggested in the Developers thread that I should file this ticket.  My desired outcome is the ability to erase by iterator from an `unordered_set` or `unordered_map` in constant time.  The name of the method is not important to me; I suggested `erase_fast` or `erase_void` just to get the ball rolling.",Feature Requests,closed,Boost 1.42.0,unordered,Boost 1.41.0,Problem,fixed,unordered_set unordered_map erase iterator complexity n2023,
