In my pallet, I have a StorageDoubleMap called MyDoubleMap. I want to delete all the kv pairs under key1. So I may write the code like below:

for (key2, _value) in MyDoubleMap::<T>::iter_prefix(key1) {
    MyDoubleMap::<T>::remove(key1, key2);
}

Apparently the map was changed during the iteration. Will it be problematic?

As the docs are mentioning, you will get undefined results. If you want to remove all these elements, you should directly use drain_prefix as this will give you directly what you want.

  • Is the same true for mutating the StorageItem? I.e. set, or insert? Aug 11, 2022 at 16:02
  • The docs explicitly mention "adding". So, yes insert is also problematic. However, setting should be fine.
