[CMake](https://cmake.org/) and [Turf](https://github.com/preshing/turf) are required. See the blog post [New Concurrent Hash Maps for C++](http://preshing.com/20160201/new-concurrent-hash-maps-for-cpp/) for more information.
## Rules and Behavior
-A Junction map is a lot like a big array of `std::atomic<>` variables, where the key is an index into the array, stores use `memory_order_release`, and loads use `memory_order_consume`.

-More precisely, the following rules apply to Junction's Linear, LeapFrog and Grampa maps:
-
-* All of their member functions, together with their `Mutator` member functions, are atomic with respect to each other, so you can safely call them from any thread without mutual exclusion.
-* If an `insert` [happens before](http://preshing.com/20130702/the-happens-before-relation/) a `get` with the same key, the `get` will return the value it inserted, except if another operation changes the value in between. Any [synchronizing operation](http://preshing.com/20130823/the-synchronizes-with-relation/) will establish this relationship.
-* `insert` is a [release](http://preshing.com/20120913/acquire-and-release-semantics/) operation and `get` is a [consume](http://preshing.com/20140709/the-purpose-of-memory_order_consume-in-cpp11/) operation, so you can safely pass non-atomic information between threads using a pointer.
-* In the current version, you must not insert while concurrently using an `Iterator`.

+* If an `set` [happens before](http://preshing.com/20130702/the-happens-before-relation/) a `get` with the same key, the `get` will return the value set, except if another operation changes the value in between.

+* For Linear, Leapfrog and Grampa maps, `set` is a [release](http://preshing.com/20120913/acquire-and-release-semantics/) operation and `get` is a [consume](http://preshing.com/20140709/the-purpose-of-memory_order_consume-in-cpp11/) operation, so you can safely pass non-atomic information between threads using a pointer. For Crude maps, all operations are relaxed.
