This PR aims to spark the retirement of a questionable pattern I have found all over our code base. I will illustrate how this pattern encourages code duplication, lacks type safety, requires documentation and can be prone to bugs. ``` std::map<std::string, Object> mMap; // Stored in all lowercase for a case-insensitive lookup std::string lowerKey = Misc::StringUtils::lowerCase(key); mMap.emplace(lowerKey, object); std::string lowerKey = Misc::StringUtils::lowerCase(key); mMap.find(lowerKey); mMap.find(key); // Not found. Oops! ``` An alternative approach produces no such issues. ``` std::unordered_map<std::string, Object, Misc::StringUtils::CiHash, Misc::StringUtils::CiEqual> mMap; mMap.emplace(key, object); mMap.find(key); ``` Of course, such an alternative will work for a `map` as well, but an `unordered_map` is generally preferable over a `map` with these changes because we have moved `lowerCase` into the comparison operator. In this PR I have refactored `Animation::mNodeMap` accordingly. I have reviewed and adapted all direct and indirect usage of `Animation::mNodeMap` to ensure we do not change behaviour with this PR. |
