The libstdc++ policy based data structure (pb_ds) order statistic tree only
has "set" behaviour. It takes a certain amount of extra work to use it as a
replacement for multiset and multimap. They recommend using a set (tree) of
lists to use pb_ds::tree like a multiset. However, this obviously doesn't
work for order_statistic tree: each of the duplicates is only counted once
(each list of duplicates is a single element in the tree).
Does your order statistic tree allow duplicates?
