using	proxy_map = std::map< actor_id, actor_proxy::anchor_ptr >
	A map that stores all proxies for known remote actors.

Public Member Functions

std::vector< actor_proxy_ptr >	get_all ()
	Returns all proxies for `node`.

std::vector< actor_proxy_ptr >	get_all (const key_type &node)
	Returns all proxies for `node`.

actor_proxy_ptr	get (const key_type &node, actor_id aid)
	Returns the proxy instance identified by `node` and `aid` or `nullptr` if the actor either unknown or expired. More...

actor_proxy_ptr	get_or_put (const key_type &node, actor_id aid)
	Returns the proxy instance identified by `node` and `aid` or creates a new (default) proxy instance. More...

void	erase (const key_type &node)
	Deletes all proxies for `node`.

void	erase (const key_type &node, actor_id aid)
	Deletes the proxy with id `aid` for `node`.
