23.4 Associative containers [associative]

23.4.4 Class template multimap [multimap]

23.4.4.1 Overview [multimap.overview]

A multimap is an associative container that supports equivalent keys (i.e., possibly containing multiple copies of the same key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys.
The multimap class supports bidirectional iterators.
A multimap meets all of the requirements of a container ([container.reqmts]), of a reversible container ([container.rev.reqmts]), of an allocator-aware container ([container.alloc.reqmts]), and of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]).
A multimap also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for equal keys.
This means that a multimap supports the a_eq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_uniq operations.
For a multimap<Key,T> the key_type is Key and the value_type is pair<const Key,T>.
Descriptions are provided here only for operations on multimap that are not described in one of those tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.
The types iterator and const_iterator meet the constexpr iterator requirements ([iterator.requirements.general]).

23.4.4.2 Constructors [multimap.cons]

constexpr explicit multimap(const Compare& comp, const Allocator& = Allocator());
Effects: Constructs an empty multimap using the specified comparison object and allocator.
Complexity: Constant.
template<class InputIterator> constexpr multimap(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Compare& comp = Compare(), const Allocator& = Allocator());
Effects: Constructs an empty multimap using the specified comparison object and allocator, and inserts elements from the range [first, last).
Complexity: Linear in N if the range [first, last) is already sorted with respect to comp and otherwise , where N is last - first.
template<container-compatible-range<value_type> R> constexpr multimap(from_range_t, R&& rg, const Compare& comp = Compare(), const Allocator& = Allocator());
Effects: Constructs an empty multimap using the specified comparison object and allocator, and inserts elements from the range rg.
Complexity: Linear in N if rg is already sorted with respect to comp and otherwise , where N is ranges​::​distance(rg).

23.4.4.3 Modifiers [multimap.modifiers]

template<class P> constexpr iterator insert(P&& x); template<class P> constexpr iterator insert(const_iterator position, P&& x);
Constraints: is_constructible_v<value_type, P&&> is true.
Effects: The first form is equivalent to return emplace(std​::​forward<P>(x)).
The second form is equivalent to return emplace_hint(position, std​::​forward<P>(x)).

23.4.4.4 Erasure [multimap.erasure]

template<class Key, class T, class Compare, class Allocator, class Predicate> typename multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>::size_type constexpr erase_if(multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& c, Predicate pred);
Effects: Equivalent to: auto original_size = c.size(); for (auto i = c.begin(), last = c.end(); i != last; ) { if (pred(*i)) { i = c.erase(i); } else { ++i; } } return original_size - c.size();
