C++ Boost has Bimap container that is a bidirectional map: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/bimap/doc/html/index.html
Does anyone know the performance of Boost::bimap? I mean what's the time complexity of accessing an element in the map? Is it as quick as unordered_map access (which is O(1))?
Thanks!

AFAIK each different container of this library have different operation complexity relative to the implementation (like for the stl containers). For details necessary to make your choice, read : http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/bimap/doc/html/boost_bimap/the_tutorial/controlling_collection_types.html
