Dictionary collection

Dictionary collections are not explicitly supported in ODABA. You may, however, define an appropriate user-defined template class, which can be referenced as dictionary template type.

The first type specification in the list usually refers to the instance type to be mapped. The second type specification typically refers to a number, which is either an index or an identity. You may, however, map any type of instances by means of a dictionary collection.

Definition: 

dict_coll := _dictionary '<' simple_type_spec ',' simple_type_spec '>'
