23.2 Container requirements [container.requirements]

23.2.1 General container requirements [container.requirements.general]

Containers are objects that store other objects. They control allocation and deallocation of these objects through constructors, destructors, insert and erase operations.

All of the complexity requirements in this Clause are stated solely in terms of the number of operations on the contained objects. [ Example: The copy constructor of type vector<vector<int>> has linear complexity, even though the complexity of copying each contained vector<int> is itself linear.  — end example ]

For the components affected by this subclause that declare an allocator_type, objects stored in these components shall be constructed using the allocator_traits<allocator_type>::rebind_traits<U>::construct function and destroyed using the allocator_traits<allocator_type>::rebind_traits<U>::destroy function ([allocator.traits.members]), where U is either allocator_type::value_type or an internal type used by the container. These functions are called only for the container's element type, not for internal types used by the container. [ Note: This means, for example, that a node-based container might need to construct nodes containing aligned buffers and call construct to place the element into the buffer.  — end note ]

In Tables [tab:containers.container.requirements], [tab:containers.reversible.requirements], and [tab:containers.optional.operations] X denotes a container class containing objects of type T, a and b denote values of type X, u denotes an identifier, r denotes a non-const value of type X, and rv denotes a non-const rvalue of type X.

a.size() size_type distance(a.begin(), a.end()) constant
a.max_size() size_type distance(begin(), end()) for the largest possible container constant
a.empty() convertible to bool a.begin() == a.end() constant

Notes: the algorithm equal() is defined in Clause [algorithms]. Those entries marked “(Note A)” or “(Note B)” have linear complexity for array and have constant complexity for all other standard containers.

The member function size() returns the number of elements in the container. The number of elements is defined by the rules of constructors, inserts, and erases.

begin() returns an iterator referring to the first element in the container. end() returns an iterator which is the past-the-end value for the container. If the container is empty, then begin() == end().

In the expressions

i == j
i != j
i < j
i <= j
i >= j
i > j
i - j

where i and j denote objects of a container's iterator type, either or both may be replaced by an object of the container's const_iterator type referring to the same element with no change in semantics.

Unless otherwise specified, all containers defined in this clause obtain memory using an allocator (see [allocator.requirements]). [ Note: In particular, containers and iterators do not store references to allocated elements other than through the allocator's pointer type, i.e., as objects of type P or pointer_traits<P>::template rebind<unspecified>, where P is allocator_traits<allocator_type>::pointer.  — end note ] Copy constructors for these container types obtain an allocator by calling allocator_traits<allocator_type>::select_on_container_copy_construction on the allocator belonging to the container being copied. Move constructors obtain an allocator by move construction from the allocator belonging to the container being moved. Such move construction of the allocator shall not exit via an exception. All other constructors for these container types take a const allocator_type& argument. [ Note: If an invocation of a constructor uses the default value of an optional allocator argument, then the Allocator type must support value-initialization.  — end note ] A copy of this allocator is used for any memory allocation and element construction performed, by these constructors and by all member functions, during the lifetime of each container object or until the allocator is replaced. The allocator may be replaced only via assignment or swap(). Allocator replacement is performed by copy assignment, move assignment, or swapping of the allocator only if allocator_traits<allocator_type>::propagate_on_container_copy_assignment::value, allocator_traits<allocator_type>::propagate_on_container_move_assignment::value, or allocator_traits<allocator_type>::propagate_on_container_swap::value is true within the implementation of the corresponding container operation. In all container types defined in this Clause, the member get_allocator() returns a copy of the allocator used to construct the container or, if that allocator has been replaced, a copy of the most recent replacement.

The expression a.swap(b), for containers a and b of a standard container type other than array, shall exchange the values of a and b without invoking any move, copy, or swap operations on the individual container elements. Lvalues of any Compare, Pred, or Hash types belonging to a and b shall be swappable and shall be exchanged by calling swap as described in [swappable.requirements]. If allocator_traits<allocator_type>::propagate_on_container_swap::value is true, then lvalues of type allocator_type shall be swappable and the allocators of a and b shall also be exchanged by calling swap as described in [swappable.requirements]. Otherwise, the allocators shall not be swapped, and the behavior is undefined unless a.get_allocator() == b.get_allocator(). Every iterator referring to an element in one container before the swap shall refer to the same element in the other container after the swap. It is unspecified whether an iterator with value a.end() before the swap will have value b.end() after the swap.

If the iterator type of a container belongs to the bidirectional or random access iterator categories ([iterator.requirements]), the container is called reversible and satisfies the additional requirements in Table [tab:containers.reversible.requirements].

a.crbegin() const_reverse_iterator const_cast<X const&>(a).rbegin() constant
a.crend() const_reverse_iterator const_cast<X const&>(a).rend() constant

Unless otherwise specified (see [associative.reqmts.except], [unord.req.except], [deque.modifiers], and [vector.modifiers]) all container types defined in this Clause meet the following additional requirements:

  • if an exception is thrown by an insert() or emplace() function while inserting a single element, that function has no effects.

  • if an exception is thrown by a push_back(), push_front(), emplace_back(), or emplace_front() function, that function has no effects.

  • no erase(), clear(), pop_back() or pop_front() function throws an exception.

  • no copy constructor or assignment operator of a returned iterator throws an exception.

  • no swap() function throws an exception.

  • no swap() function invalidates any references, pointers, or iterators referring to the elements of the containers being swapped. [ Note: The end() iterator does not refer to any element, so it may be invalidated.  — end note ]

Unless otherwise specified (either explicitly or by defining a function in terms of other functions), invoking a container member function or passing a container as an argument to a library function shall not invalidate iterators to, or change the values of, objects within that container.

A contiguous container is a container that supports random access iterators ([random.access.iterators]) and whose member types iterator and const_iterator are contiguous iterators ([iterator.requirements.general]).

Table [tab:containers.optional.operations] lists operations that are provided for some types of containers but not others. Those containers for which the listed operations are provided shall implement the semantics described in Table [tab:containers.optional.operations] unless otherwise stated.

a >= b convertible to bool !(a < b) linear

Note: The algorithm lexicographical_compare() is defined in Clause [algorithms].  — end note ]

All of the containers defined in this Clause and in ([basic.string]) except array meet the additional requirements of an allocator-aware container, as described in Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware].

Given an allocator type A and given a container type X having a value_type identical to T and an allocator_type identical to allocator_traits<A>::rebind_alloc<T> and given an lvalue m of type A, a pointer p of type T*, an expression v of type (possibly const) T, and an rvalue rv of type T, the following terms are defined. If X is not allocator-aware, the terms below are defined as if A were allocator<T> — no allocator object needs to be created and user specializations of allocator<T> are not instantiated:

  • T is DefaultInsertable into X means that the following expression is well-formed:

    allocator_traits<A>::construct(m, p)
    
  • An element of X is default-inserted if it is initialized by evaluation of the expression

    allocator_traits<A>::construct(m, p)
    

    where p is the address of the uninitialized storage for the element allocated within X.

  • T is MoveInsertable into X means that the following expression is well-formed:

    allocator_traits<A>::construct(m, p, rv)
    

    and its evaluation causes the following postcondition to hold: The value of *p is equivalent to the value of rv before the evaluation. [ Note: rv remains a valid object. Its state is unspecified  — end note ]

  • T is CopyInsertable into X means that, in addition to T being MoveInsertable into X, the following expression is well-formed:

    allocator_traits<A>::construct(m, p, v)
    

    and its evaluation causes the following postcondition to hold: The value of v is unchanged and is equivalent to *p.

  • T is EmplaceConstructible into X from args, for zero or more arguments args, means that the following expression is well-formed:

    allocator_traits<A>::construct(m, p, args)
    
  • T is Erasable from X means that the following expression is well-formed:

    allocator_traits<A>::destroy(m, p)
    

Note: A container calls allocator_traits<A>::construct(m, p, args) to construct an element at p using args, with m == get_allocator(). The default construct in allocator will call ::new((void*)p) T(args), but specialized allocators may choose a different definition.  — end note ]

In Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware], X denotes an allocator-aware container class with a value_type of T using allocator of type A, u denotes a variable, a and b denote non-const lvalues of type X, t denotes an lvalue or a const rvalue of type X, rv denotes a non-const rvalue of type X, and m is a value of type A.

23.2.2 Container data races [container.requirements.dataraces]

For purposes of avoiding data races ([res.on.data.races]), implementations shall consider the following functions to be const: begin, end, rbegin, rend, front, back, data, find, lower_bound, upper_bound, equal_range, at and, except in associative or unordered associative containers, operator[].

Notwithstanding ([res.on.data.races]), implementations are required to avoid data races when the contents of the contained object in different elements in the same container, excepting vector<bool>, are modified concurrently.

Note: For a vector<int> x with a size greater than one, x[1] = 5 and *x.begin() = 10 can be executed concurrently without a data race, but x[0] = 5 and *x.begin() = 10 executed concurrently may result in a data race. As an exception to the general rule, for a vector<bool> y, y[0] = true may race with y[1] = true.  — end note ]

23.2.3 Sequence containers [sequence.reqmts]

A sequence container organizes a finite set of objects, all of the same type, into a strictly linear arrangement. The library provides four basic kinds of sequence containers: vector, forward_list, list, and deque. In addition, array is provided as a sequence container which provides limited sequence operations because it has a fixed number of elements. The library also provides container adaptors that make it easy to construct abstract data types, such as stacks or queues, out of the basic sequence container kinds (or out of other kinds of sequence containers that the user might define).

The sequence containers offer the programmer different complexity trade-offs and should be used accordingly. vector or array is the type of sequence container that should be used by default. list or forward_list should be used when there are frequent insertions and deletions from the middle of the sequence. deque is the data structure of choice when most insertions and deletions take place at the beginning or at the end of the sequence.

In Tables [tab:containers.sequence.requirements] and [tab:containers.sequence.optional], X denotes a sequence container class, a denotes a value of type X containing elements of type T, u denotes the name of a variable being declared, A denotes X::allocator_type if the qualified-id X::allocator_type is valid and denotes a type ([temp.deduct]) and allocator<T> if it doesn't, i and j denote iterators satisfying input iterator requirements and refer to elements implicitly convertible to value_type, [i, j) denotes a valid range, il designates an object of type initializer_list<value_type>, n denotes a value of type X::size_type, p denotes a valid constant iterator to a, q denotes a valid dereferenceable constant iterator to a, [q1, q2) denotes a valid range of constant iterators in a, t denotes an lvalue or a const rvalue of X::value_type, and rv denotes a non-const rvalue of X::value_type. Args denotes a template parameter pack; args denotes a function parameter pack with the pattern Args&&.

The complexities of the expressions are sequence dependent.

post: a.empty() returns true.
Complexity: Linear.
a.assign(i,j) void Requires: T shall be EmplaceConstructible into X from *i and assignable from *i. For vector, if the iterator does not meet the forward iterator requirements ([forward.iterators]), T shall also be MoveInsertable into X.

pre: t is not a reference into a.
Replaces elements in a with n copies of t.
Invalidates all references, pointers and iterators referring to the elements of a. For vector and deque, also invalidates the past-the-end iterator.

The iterator returned from a.insert(p, t) points to the copy of t inserted into a.

The iterator returned from a.insert(p, rv) points to the copy of rv inserted into a.

The iterator returned from a.insert(p, n, t) points to the copy of the first element inserted into a, or p if n == 0.

The iterator returned from a.insert(p, i, j) points to the copy of the first element inserted into a, or p if i == j.

The iterator returned from a.insert(p, il) points to the copy of the first element inserted into a, or p if il is empty.

The iterator returned from a.emplace(p, args) points to the new element constructed from args into a.

The iterator returned from a.erase(q) points to the element immediately following q prior to the element being erased. If no such element exists, a.end() is returned.

The iterator returned by a.erase(q1,q2) points to the element pointed to by q2 prior to any elements being erased. If no such element exists, a.end() is returned.

For every sequence container defined in this Clause and in Clause [strings]:

  • If the constructor

    template <class InputIterator>
    X(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
      const allocator_type& alloc = allocator_type());
    

    is called with a type InputIterator that does not qualify as an input iterator, then the constructor shall not participate in overload resolution.

  • If the member functions of the forms:

    template <class InputIterator>          // such as insert()
      rt fx1(const_iterator p, InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
    
    template <class InputIterator>          // such as append(), assign()
      rt fx2(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
    
    template <class InputIterator>          // such as replace()
      rt fx3(const_iterator i1, const_iterator i2, InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
    

    are called with a type InputIterator that does not qualify as an input iterator, then these functions shall not participate in overload resolution.

The extent to which an implementation determines that a type cannot be an input iterator is unspecified, except that as a minimum integral types shall not qualify as input iterators.

Table [tab:containers.sequence.optional] lists operations that are provided for some types of sequence containers but not others. An implementation shall provide these operations for all container types shown in the “container” column, and shall implement them so as to take amortized constant time.

The member function at() provides bounds-checked access to container elements. at() throws out_of_range if n >= a.size().

23.2.4 Node handles [container.node]

23.2.4.1 node_handle overview [container.node.overview]

A node handle is an object that accepts ownership of a single element from an associative container ([associative.reqmts]) or an unordered associative container ([unord.req]). It may be used to transfer that ownership to another container with compatible nodes. Containers with compatible nodes have the same node handle type. Elements may be transferred in either direction between container types in the same row of Table [tab:containers.node.compat].

Table 89 — Container types with compatible nodes
map<K, T, C1, A> map<K, T, C2, A>
map<K, T, C1, A> multimap<K, T, C2, A>
set<K, C1, A> set<K, C2, A>
set<K, C1, A> multiset<K, C2, A>
unordered_map<K, T, H1, E1, A> unordered_map<K, T, H2, E2, A>
unordered_map<K, T, H1, E1, A> unordered_multimap<K, T, H2, E2, A>
unordered_set<K, H1, E1, A> unordered_set<K, H2, E2, A>
unordered_set<K, H1, E1, A> unordered_multiset<K, H2, E2, A>

If a node handle is not empty, then it contains an allocator that is equal to the allocator of the container when the element was extracted. If a node handle is empty, it contains no allocator.

Class node_handle is for exposition only. An implementation is permitted to provide equivalent functionality without providing a class with this name.

If a user-defined specialization of pair exists for pair<const Key, T> or pair<Key, T>, where Key is the container's key_type and T is the container's mapped_type, the behavior of operations involving node handles is undefined.

23.2.4.2 node_handle constructors, copy, and assignment [container.node.cons]

node_handle(node_handle&& nh) noexcept;

Effects: Constructs a node_handle object initializing ptr_ with nh.ptr_. Move constructs alloc_ with nh.alloc_. Assigns nullptr to nh.ptr_ and assigns nullopt to nh.alloc_.

node_handle& operator=(node_handle&& nh);

Requires: Either !alloc_, or ator_traits::propagate_on_container_move_assignment is true, or alloc_ == nh.alloc_.

Effects: If ptr_ != nullptr, destroys the value_type subobject in the container_node_type object pointed to by ptr_ by calling ator_traits::destroy, then deallocates ptr_ by calling ator_traits::rebind_traits<container_node_type>::deallocate. Assigns nh.ptr_ to ptr_. If !alloc_ or ator_traits::propagate_on_container_move_assignment is true, move assigns nh.alloc_ to alloc_. Assigns nullptr to nh.ptr_ and assigns nullopt to nh.alloc_.

Returns: *this.

Throws: Nothing.

23.2.4.3 node_handle destructor [container.node.dtor]

Effects: If ptr_ != nullptr, destroys the value_type subobject in the container_node_type object pointed to by ptr_ by calling ator_traits::destroy, then deallocates ptr_ by calling ator_traits::rebind_traits<container_node_type>::deallocate.

Requires: empty() == false.

Returns: A reference to the value_type subobject in the container_node_type object pointed to by ptr_.

Throws: Nothing.

key_type& key() const;

Requires: empty() == false.

Returns: A non-const reference to the key_type member of the value_type subobject in the container_node_type object pointed to by ptr_.

Requires: !alloc_, or !nh.alloc_, or ator_traits::propagate_on_container_swap is true, or alloc_ == nh.alloc_.

Effects: Calls swap(ptr_, nh.ptr_). If !alloc_, or !nh.alloc_, or ator_traits::propagate_on_container_swap is true calls swap(alloc_, nh.alloc_).

23.2.5 Insert return type [container.insert.return]

The associative containers with unique keys and the unordered containers with unique keys have a member function insert that returns a nested type insert_return_type. That return type is a specialization of the type specified in this subclause.

template <class Iterator, class NodeType>
struct INSERT_RETURN_TYPE{
  Iterator position;
  bool     inserted;
  NodeType node;
};

The name INSERT_RETURN_TYPE is exposition only. INSERT_RETURN_TYPE has the template parameters, data members, and special members specified above. It has no base classes or members other than those specified.

23.2.6 Associative containers [associative.reqmts]

Associative containers provide fast retrieval of data based on keys. The library provides four basic kinds of associative containers: set, multiset, map and multimap.

Each associative container is parameterized on Key and an ordering relation Compare that induces a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]) on elements of Key. In addition, map and multimap associate an arbitrary mapped type T with the Key. The object of type Compare is called the comparison object of a container.

The phrase “equivalence of keys” means the equivalence relation imposed by the comparison and not the operator== on keys. That is, two keys k1 and k2 are considered to be equivalent if for the comparison object comp, comp(k1, k2) == false && comp(k2, k1) == false. For any two keys k1 and k2 in the same container, calling comp(k1, k2) shall always return the same value.

An associative container supports unique keys if it may contain at most one element for each key. Otherwise, it supports equivalent keys. The set and map classes support unique keys; the multiset and multimap classes support equivalent keys. For multiset and multimap, insert, emplace, and erase preserve the relative ordering of equivalent elements.

For set and multiset the value type is the same as the key type. For map and multimap it is equal to pair<const Key, T>.

iterator of an associative container is of the bidirectional iterator category. For associative containers where the value type is the same as the key type, both iterator and const_iterator are constant iterators. It is unspecified whether or not iterator and const_iterator are the same type. [ Note: iterator and const_iterator have identical semantics in this case, and iterator is convertible to const_iterator. Users can avoid violating the one-definition rule by always using const_iterator in their function parameter lists.  — end note ]

The associative containers meet all the requirements of Allocator-aware containers ([container.requirements.general]), except that for map and multimap, the requirements placed on value_type in Table [tab:containers.container.requirements] apply instead to key_type and mapped_type. [ Note: For example, in some cases key_type and mapped_type are required to be CopyAssignable even though the associated value_type, pair<const key_type, mapped_type>, is not CopyAssignable.  — end note ]

The insert and emplace members shall not affect the validity of iterators and references to the container, and the erase members shall invalidate only iterators and references to the erased elements.

The extract members invalidate only iterators to the removed element; pointers and references to the removed element remain valid. However, accessing the element through such pointers and references while the element is owned by a node_type is undefined behavior. References and pointers to an element obtained while it is owned by a node_type are invalidated if the element is successfully inserted.

The fundamental property of iterators of associative containers is that they iterate through the containers in the non-descending order of keys where non-descending is defined by the comparison that was used to construct them. For any two dereferenceable iterators i and j such that distance from i to j is positive, the following condition holds:

value_comp(*j, *i) == false

For associative containers with unique keys the stronger condition holds:

value_comp(*i, *j) != false

When an associative container is constructed by passing a comparison object the container shall not store a pointer or reference to the passed object, even if that object is passed by reference. When an associative container is copied, either through a copy constructor or an assignment operator, the target container shall then use the comparison object from the container being copied, as if that comparison object had been passed to the target container in its constructor.

The member function templates find, count, lower_bound, upper_bound, and equal_range shall not participate in overload resolution unless the qualified-id Compare::is_transparent is valid and denotes a type ([temp.deduct]).

23.2.6.1 Exception safety guarantees [associative.reqmts.except]

For associative containers, no clear() function throws an exception. erase(k) does not throw an exception unless that exception is thrown by the container's Compare object (if any).

For associative containers, if an exception is thrown by any operation from within an insert or emplace function inserting a single element, the insertion has no effect.

For associative containers, no swap function throws an exception unless that exception is thrown by the swap of the container's Compare object (if any).

23.2.7 Unordered associative containers [unord.req]

Unordered associative containers provide an ability for fast retrieval of data based on keys. The worst-case complexity for most operations is linear, but the average case is much faster. The library provides four unordered associative containers: unordered_set, unordered_map, unordered_multiset, and unordered_multimap.

Unordered associative containers conform to the requirements for Containers ([container.requirements]), except that the expressions a == b and a != b have different semantics than for the other container types.

Each unordered associative container is parameterized by Key, by a function object type Hash that meets the Hash requirements ([hash.requirements]) and acts as a hash function for argument values of type Key, and by a binary predicate Pred that induces an equivalence relation on values of type Key. Additionally, unordered_map and unordered_multimap associate an arbitrary mapped type T with the Key.

The container's object of type Hash — denoted by hash — is called the hash function of the container. The container's object of type Pred — denoted by pred — is called the key equality predicate of the container.

Two values k1 and k2 of type Key are considered equivalent if the container's key equality predicate returns true when passed those values. If k1 and k2 are equivalent, the container's hash function shall return the same value for both. [ Note: Thus, when an unordered associative container is instantiated with a non-default Pred parameter it usually needs a non-default Hash parameter as well.  — end note ] For any two keys k1 and k2 in the same container, calling pred(k1, k2) shall always return the same value. For any key k in a container, calling hash(k) shall always return the same value.

An unordered associative container supports unique keys if it may contain at most one element for each key. Otherwise, it supports equivalent keys. unordered_set and unordered_map support unique keys. unordered_multiset and unordered_multimap support equivalent keys. In containers that support equivalent keys, elements with equivalent keys are adjacent to each other in the iteration order of the container. Thus, although the absolute order of elements in an unordered container is not specified, its elements are grouped into equivalent-key groups such that all elements of each group have equivalent keys. Mutating operations on unordered containers shall preserve the relative order of elements within each equivalent-key group unless otherwise specified.

For unordered_set and unordered_multiset the value type is the same as the key type. For unordered_map and unordered_multimap it is pair<const Key, T>.

For unordered containers where the value type is the same as the key type, both iterator and const_iterator are constant iterators. It is unspecified whether or not iterator and const_iterator are the same type. [ Note: iterator and const_iterator have identical semantics in this case, and iterator is convertible to const_iterator. Users can avoid violating the one-definition rule by always using const_iterator in their function parameter lists.  — end note ]

The elements of an unordered associative container are organized into buckets. Keys with the same hash code appear in the same bucket. The number of buckets is automatically increased as elements are added to an unordered associative container, so that the average number of elements per bucket is kept below a bound. Rehashing invalidates iterators, changes ordering between elements, and changes which buckets elements appear in, but does not invalidate pointers or references to elements. For unordered_multiset and unordered_multimap, rehashing preserves the relative ordering of equivalent elements.

The unordered associative containers meet all the requirements of Allocator-aware containers ([container.requirements.general]), except that for unordered_map and unordered_multimap, the requirements placed on value_type in Table [tab:containers.container.requirements] apply instead to key_type and mapped_type. [ Note: For example, key_type and mapped_type are sometimes required to be CopyAssignable even though the associated value_type, pair<const key_type, mapped_type>, is not CopyAssignable.  — end note ]

Attempts to extract each element in a2 and insert it into a using the hash function and key equality predicate of a. In containers with unique keys, if there is an element in a with key equivalent to the key of an element from a2, then that element is not extracted from a2. Post: Pointers and references to the transferred elements of a2 refer to those same elements but as members of a. Iterators referring to the transferred elements and all iterators referring to a will be invalidated, but iterators to elements remaining in a2 will remain valid.

Returns an iterator pointing to an element with key equivalent to k, or b.end() if no such element exists. Average case Ο(1), worst case Ο(b.size()).

Returns the index of the bucket in which elements with keys equivalent to k would be found, if any such element existed. Post: the return value shall be in the range [0, b.bucket_count()).
Constant
b.bucket_size(n) size_type Pre: n shall be in the range [0, b.bucket_count()). Returns the number of elements in the n th bucket. Ο(b.bucket_size(n))
b.begin(n) local_iterator;
const_local_iterator for const b.
Pre: n shall be in the range [0, b.bucket_count()). b.begin(n) returns an iterator referring to the first element in the bucket. If the bucket is empty, then b.begin(n) == b.end(n). Constant
b.end(n) local_iterator;
const_local_iterator for const b.
Pre: n shall be in the range [0, b.bucket_count()). b.end(n) returns an iterator which is the past-the-end value for the bucket. Constant
b.cbegin(n) const_local_iterator Pre: n shall be in the range [0, b.bucket_count()). Note: [b.cbegin(n), b.cend(n)) is a valid range containing all of the elements in the n th bucket. Constant
b.cend(n) const_local_iterator Pre: n shall be in the range [0, b.bucket_count()). Constant
b.load_factor() float Returns the average number of elements per bucket. Constant
b.max_load_factor() float Returns a positive number that the container attempts to keep the load factor less than or equal to. The container automatically increases the number of buckets as necessary to keep the load factor below this number. Constant
a.max_load_factor(z) void Pre: z shall be positive. May change the container's maximum load factor, using z as a hint. Constant
a.rehash(n) void Post: a.bucket_count() >= a.size() / a.max_load_factor() and a.bucket_count() >= n. Average case linear in a.size(), worst case quadratic.
a.reserve(n) void Same as a.rehash(ceil(n / a.max_load_factor())). Average case linear in a.size(), worst case quadratic.

Two unordered containers a and b compare equal if a.size() == b.size() and, for every equivalent-key group [Ea1, Ea2) obtained from a.equal_range(Ea1), there exists an equivalent-key group [Eb1, Eb2) obtained from b.equal_range(Ea1), such that is_permutation(Ea1, Ea2, Eb1, Eb2) returns true. For unordered_set and unordered_map, the complexity of operator== (i.e., the number of calls to the == operator of the value_type, to the predicate returned by key_eq(), and to the hasher returned by hash_function()) is proportional to N in the average case and to N2 in the worst case, where N is a.size(). For unordered_multiset and unordered_multimap, the complexity of operator== is proportional to $\sum E_i^2$ in the average case and to N2 in the worst case, where N is a.size(), and Ei is the size of the ith equivalent-key group in a. However, if the respective elements of each corresponding pair of equivalent-key groups Eai and Ebi are arranged in the same order (as is commonly the case, e.g., if a and b are unmodified copies of the same container), then the average-case complexity for unordered_multiset and unordered_multimap becomes proportional to N (but worst-case complexity remains Ο(N2), e.g., for a pathologically bad hash function). The behavior of a program that uses operator== or operator!= on unordered containers is undefined unless the Hash and Pred function objects respectively have the same behavior for both containers and the equality comparison operator for Key is a refinement258 of the partition into equivalent-key groups produced by Pred.

The iterator types iterator and const_iterator of an unordered associative container are of at least the forward iterator category. For unordered associative containers where the key type and value type are the same, both iterator and const_iterator are constant iterators.

The insert and emplace members shall not affect the validity of references to container elements, but may invalidate all iterators to the container. The erase members shall invalidate only iterators and references to the erased elements, and preserve the relative order of the elements that are not erased.

The insert and emplace members shall not affect the validity of iterators if (N+n) <= z * B, where N is the number of elements in the container prior to the insert operation, n is the number of elements inserted, B is the container's bucket count, and z is the container's maximum load factor.

The extract members invalidate only iterators to the removed element, and preserve the relative order of the elements that are not erased; pointers and references to the removed element remain valid. However, accessing the element through such pointers and references while the element is owned by a node_type is undefined behavior. References and pointers to an element obtained while it is owned by a node_type are invalidated if the element is successfully inserted.

Equality comparison is a refinement of partitioning if no two objects that compare equal fall into different partitions.

23.2.7.1 Exception safety guarantees [unord.req.except]

For unordered associative containers, no clear() function throws an exception. erase(k) does not throw an exception unless that exception is thrown by the container's Hash or Pred object (if any).

For unordered associative containers, if an exception is thrown by any operation other than the container's hash function from within an insert or emplace function inserting a single element, the insertion has no effect.

For unordered associative containers, no swap function throws an exception unless that exception is thrown by the swap of the container's Hash or Pred object (if any).

For unordered associative containers, if an exception is thrown from within a rehash() function other than by the container's hash function or comparison function, the rehash() function has no effect.

23.3.7 Class template array [array]

23.3.7.1 Class template array overview [array.overview]

The header <array> defines a class template for storing fixed-size sequences of objects. An array is a contiguous container ([container.requirements.general]). An instance of array<T, N> stores N elements of type T, so that size() == N is an invariant.

An array is an aggregate ([dcl.init.aggr]) that can be list-initialized with up to N elements whose types are convertible to T.

An array satisfies all of the requirements of a container and of a reversible container ([container.requirements]), except that a default constructed array object is not empty and that swap does not have constant complexity. An array satisfies some of the requirements of a sequence container ([sequence.reqmts]). Descriptions are provided here only for operations on array that are not described in one of these tables and for operations where there is additional semantic information.

namespace std {
  template <class T, size_t N>
  struct array {
    //  types:
    using value_type             = T;
    using pointer                = T*;

    using reference              = T&;
    using const_reference        = const T&;

    constexpr const_reference back() const;

    constexpr T *       data() noexcept;
    constexpr const T * data() const noexcept;
  };
}

23.3.7.2 array constructors, copy, and assignment [array.cons]

The conditions for an aggregate ([dcl.init.aggr]) shall be met. Class array relies on the implicitly-declared special member functions ([class.ctor], [class.dtor], and [class.copy]) to conform to the container requirements table in [container.requirements]. In addition to the requirements specified in the container requirements table, the implicit move constructor and move assignment operator for array require that T be MoveConstructible or MoveAssignable, respectively.

23.3.7.3 array specialized algorithms [array.special]

template <class T, size_t N> void swap(array<T, N>& x, array<T, N>& y) noexcept(noexcept(x.swap(y)));

Remarks: This function shall not participate in overload resolution unless N == 0 or is_swappable_v<T> is true.

Effects: As if by x.swap(y).

Complexity: Linear in N.

23.3.7.4 array::size [array.size]

template <class T, size_t N> constexpr size_type array<T, N>::size() const noexcept;

Returns: N

23.3.7.5 array::data [array.data]

constexpr T* data() noexcept; constexpr const T* data() const noexcept;

Returns: A pointer such that data() == addressof(front()), and [data(), data() + size()) is a valid range.

23.3.7.6 array::fill [array.fill]

void fill(const T& u);

Effects: As if by fill_n(begin(), N, u).

23.3.7.7 array::swap [array.swap]

void swap(array& y) noexcept(is_nothrow_swappable_v<T>);

Effects: As if by swap_ranges(begin(), end(), y.begin()).

Throws: Nothing unless one of the element-wise swap calls throws an exception.

Note: Unlike the swap function for other containers, array::swap takes linear time, may exit via an exception, and does not cause iterators to become associated with the other container.

23.3.7.8 Zero sized arrays [array.zero]

array shall provide support for the special case N == 0.

In the case that N == 0, begin() == end() == unique value. The return value of data() is unspecified.

The effect of calling front() or back() for a zero-sized array is undefined.

Member function swap() shall have a non-throwing exception specification.

23.3.7.9 Tuple interface to class template array [array.tuple]

template <class T, size_t N> struct tuple_size<array<T, N>> : integral_constant<size_t, N> { };

tuple_element<I, array<T, N>>::type

Requires: I < N. The program is ill-formed if I is out of bounds.

Value: The type T.

template <size_t I, class T, size_t N> constexpr T& get(array<T, N>& a) noexcept; template <size_t I, class T, size_t N> constexpr T&& get(array<T, N>&& a) noexcept; template <size_t I, class T, size_t N> constexpr const T& get(const array<T, N>& a) noexcept; template <size_t I, class T, size_t N> constexpr const T&& get(const array<T, N>&& a) noexcept;

Requires: I < N. The program is ill-formed if I is out of bounds.

Returns: A reference to the Ith element of a, where indexing is zero-based.

23.3.8 Class template deque [deque]

23.3.8.1 Class template deque overview [deque.overview]

A deque is a sequence container that supports random access iterators ([random.access.iterators]). In addition, it supports constant time insert and erase operations at the beginning or the end; insert and erase in the middle take linear time. That is, a deque is especially optimized for pushing and popping elements at the beginning and end. Storage management is handled automatically.

A deque satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container (given in tables in [container.requirements]), of a sequence container, including the optional sequence container requirements ([sequence.reqmts]), and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). Descriptions are provided here only for operations on deque that are not described in one of these tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.

23.3.8.2 deque constructors, copy, and assignment [deque.cons]

explicit deque(const Allocator&);

Effects: Constructs an empty deque, using the specified allocator.

Complexity: Constant.

explicit deque(size_type n, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a deque with n default-inserted elements using the specified allocator.

Requires: T shall be DefaultInsertable into *this.

Complexity: Linear in n.

deque(size_type n, const T& value, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a deque with n copies of value, using the specified allocator.

Requires: T shall be CopyInsertable into *this.

Complexity: Linear in n.

template <class InputIterator> deque(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a deque equal to the range [first, last), using the specified allocator.

Complexity: Linear in distance(first, last).

23.3.8.3 deque capacity [deque.capacity]

void resize(size_type sz);

Effects: If sz < size(), erases the last size() - sz elements from the sequence. Otherwise, appends sz - size() default-inserted elements to the sequence.

Requires: T shall be MoveInsertable and DefaultInsertable into *this.

void resize(size_type sz, const T& c);

Effects: If sz < size(), erases the last size() - sz elements from the sequence. Otherwise, appends sz - size() copies of c to the sequence.

Requires: T shall be CopyInsertable into *this.

void shrink_to_fit();

Requires: T shall be MoveInsertable into *this.

Effects: shrink_to_fit is a non-binding request to reduce memory use but does not change the size of the sequence. [ Note: The request is non-binding to allow latitude for implementation-specific optimizations.  — end note ] If an exception is thrown other than by the move constructor of a non-CopyInsertable T there are no effects.

Complexity: Linear in the size of the sequence.

Remarks: shrink_to_fit invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence.

23.3.8.4 deque modifiers [deque.modifiers]

iterator insert(const_iterator position, const T& x); iterator insert(const_iterator position, T&& x); iterator insert(const_iterator position, size_type n, const T& x); template <class InputIterator> iterator insert(const_iterator position, InputIterator first, InputIterator last); iterator insert(const_iterator position, initializer_list<T>); template <class... Args> reference emplace_front(Args&&... args); template <class... Args> reference emplace_back(Args&&... args); template <class... Args> iterator emplace(const_iterator position, Args&&... args); void push_front(const T& x); void push_front(T&& x); void push_back(const T& x); void push_back(T&& x);

Effects: An insertion in the middle of the deque invalidates all the iterators and references to elements of the deque. An insertion at either end of the deque invalidates all the iterators to the deque, but has no effect on the validity of references to elements of the deque.

Remarks: If an exception is thrown other than by the copy constructor, move constructor, assignment operator, or move assignment operator of T there are no effects. If an exception is thrown while inserting a single element at either end, there are no effects. Otherwise, if an exception is thrown by the move constructor of a non-CopyInsertable T, the effects are unspecified.

Complexity: The complexity is linear in the number of elements inserted plus the lesser of the distances to the beginning and end of the deque. Inserting a single element either at the beginning or end of a deque always takes constant time and causes a single call to a constructor of T.

iterator erase(const_iterator position); iterator erase(const_iterator first, const_iterator last); void pop_front(); void pop_back();

Effects: An erase operation that erases the last element of a deque invalidates only the past-the-end iterator and all iterators and references to the erased elements. An erase operation that erases the first element of a deque but not the last element invalidates only iterators and references to the erased elements. An erase operation that erases neither the first element nor the last element of a deque invalidates the past-the-end iterator and all iterators and references to all the elements of the deque. [ Note: pop_front and pop_back are erase operations.  — end note ]

Complexity: The number of calls to the destructor of T is the same as the number of elements erased, but the number of calls to the assignment operator of T is no more than the lesser of the number of elements before the erased elements and the number of elements after the erased elements.

Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by the copy constructor, move constructor, assignment operator, or move assignment operator of T.

23.3.8.5 deque specialized algorithms [deque.special]

template <class T, class Allocator> void swap(deque<T, Allocator>& x, deque<T, Allocator>& y) noexcept(noexcept(x.swap(y)));

Effects: As if by x.swap(y).

23.3.9 Class template forward_list [forwardlist]

23.3.9.1 Class template forward_list overview [forwardlist.overview]

A forward_list is a container that supports forward iterators and allows constant time insert and erase operations anywhere within the sequence, with storage management handled automatically. Fast random access to list elements is not supported. [ Note: It is intended that forward_list have zero space or time overhead relative to a hand-written C-style singly linked list. Features that would conflict with that goal have been omitted. — end note ]

A forward_list satisfies all of the requirements of a container (Table [tab:containers.container.requirements]), except that the size() member function is not provided and operator== has linear complexity. A forward_list also satisfies all of the requirements for an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). In addition, a forward_list provides the assign member functions (Table [tab:containers.sequence.requirements]) and several of the optional container requirements (Table [tab:containers.sequence.optional]). Descriptions are provided here only for operations on forward_list that are not described in that table or for operations where there is additional semantic information.

Note: Modifying any list requires access to the element preceding the first element of interest, but in a forward_list there is no constant-time way to access a preceding element. For this reason, ranges that are modified, such as those supplied to erase and splice, must be open at the beginning.  — end note ]

23.3.9.2 forward_list constructors, copy, assignment [forwardlist.cons]

explicit forward_list(const Allocator&);

Effects: Constructs an empty forward_list object using the specified allocator.

Complexity: Constant.

explicit forward_list(size_type n, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a forward_list object with n default-inserted elements using the specified allocator.

Requires: T shall be DefaultInsertable into *this.

Complexity: Linear in n.

forward_list(size_type n, const T& value, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a forward_list object with n copies of value using the specified allocator.

Requires: T shall be CopyInsertable into *this.

Complexity: Linear in n.

template <class InputIterator> forward_list(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a forward_list object equal to the range [first, last).

Complexity: Linear in distance(first, last).

23.3.9.3 forward_list iterators [forwardlist.iter]

iterator before_begin() noexcept; const_iterator before_begin() const noexcept; const_iterator cbefore_begin() const noexcept;

Returns: A non-dereferenceable iterator that, when incremented, is equal to the iterator returned by begin().

Effects: cbefore_begin() is equivalent to const_cast<forward_list const&>(*this).before_begin().

Remarks: before_begin() == end() shall equal false.

23.3.9.4 forward_list element access [forwardlist.access]

reference front(); const_reference front() const;

Returns: *begin()

23.3.9.5 forward_list modifiers [forwardlist.modifiers]

None of the overloads of insert_after shall affect the validity of iterators and references, and erase_after shall invalidate only iterators and references to the erased elements. If an exception is thrown during insert_after there shall be no effect. Inserting n elements into a forward_list is linear in n, and the number of calls to the copy or move constructor of T is exactly equal to n. Erasing n elements from a forward_list is linear in n and the number of calls to the destructor of type T is exactly equal to n.

template <class... Args> reference emplace_front(Args&&... args);

Effects: Inserts an object of type value_type constructed with value_type(std::forward<Args>(args)...) at the beginning of the list.

void push_front(const T& x); void push_front(T&& x);

Effects: Inserts a copy of x at the beginning of the list.

void pop_front();

Effects: As if by erase_after(before_begin()).

iterator insert_after(const_iterator position, const T& x); iterator insert_after(const_iterator position, T&& x);

Requires: position is before_begin() or is a dereferenceable iterator in the range [begin(), end()).

Effects: Inserts a copy of x after position.

Returns: An iterator pointing to the copy of x.

iterator insert_after(const_iterator position, size_type n, const T& x);

Requires: position is before_begin() or is a dereferenceable iterator in the range [begin(), end()).

Effects: Inserts n copies of x after position.

Returns: An iterator pointing to the last inserted copy of x or position if n == 0.

template <class InputIterator> iterator insert_after(const_iterator position, InputIterator first, InputIterator last);

Requires: position is before_begin() or is a dereferenceable iterator in the range [begin(), end()). first and last are not iterators in *this.

Effects: Inserts copies of elements in [first, last) after position.

Returns: An iterator pointing to the last inserted element or position if first == last.

iterator insert_after(const_iterator position, initializer_list<T> il);

Effects: insert_after(p, il.begin(), il.end()).

Returns: An iterator pointing to the last inserted element or position if il is empty.

template <class... Args> iterator emplace_after(const_iterator position, Args&&... args);

Requires: position is before_begin() or is a dereferenceable iterator in the range [begin(), end()).

Effects: Inserts an object of type value_type constructed with value_type(std::forward<Args>(args)...) after position.

Returns: An iterator pointing to the new object.

iterator erase_after(const_iterator position);

Requires: The iterator following position is dereferenceable.

Effects: Erases the element pointed to by the iterator following position.

Returns: An iterator pointing to the element following the one that was erased, or end() if no such element exists.

Throws: Nothing.

iterator erase_after(const_iterator position, const_iterator last);

Requires: All iterators in the range (position, last) are dereferenceable.

Effects: Erases the elements in the range (position, last).

Returns: last.

Throws: Nothing.

void resize(size_type sz);

Effects: If sz < distance(begin(), end()), erases the last distance(begin(), end()) - sz elements from the list. Otherwise, inserts sz - distance(begin(), end()) default-inserted elements at the end of the list.

Requires: T shall be DefaultInsertable into *this.

void resize(size_type sz, const value_type& c);

Effects: If sz < distance(begin(), end()), erases the last distance(begin(), end()) - sz elements from the list. Otherwise, inserts sz - distance(begin(), end()) copies of c at the end of the list.

Requires: T shall be CopyInsertable into *this.

void clear() noexcept;

Effects: Erases all elements in the range [begin(), end()).

Remarks: Does not invalidate past-the-end iterators.

23.3.9.6 forward_list operations [forwardlist.ops]

void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list& x); void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list&& x);

Requires: position is before_begin() or is a dereferenceable iterator in the range [begin(), end()). get_allocator() == x.get_allocator(). &x != this.

Effects: Inserts the contents of x after position, and x becomes empty. Pointers and references to the moved elements of x now refer to those same elements but as members of *this. Iterators referring to the moved elements will continue to refer to their elements, but they now behave as iterators into *this, not into x.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Ο(distance(x.begin(), x.end()))

void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list& x, const_iterator i); void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list&& x, const_iterator i);

Requires: position is before_begin() or is a dereferenceable iterator in the range [begin(), end()). The iterator following i is a dereferenceable iterator in x. get_allocator() == x.get_allocator().

Effects: Inserts the element following i into *this, following position, and removes it from x. The result is unchanged if position == i or position == ++i. Pointers and references to *++i continue to refer to the same element but as a member of *this. Iterators to *++i continue to refer to the same element, but now behave as iterators into *this, not into x.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Ο(1)

void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list& x, const_iterator first, const_iterator last); void splice_after(const_iterator position, forward_list&& x, const_iterator first, const_iterator last);

Requires: position is before_begin() or is a dereferenceable iterator in the range [begin(), end()). (first, last) is a valid range in x, and all iterators in the range (first, last) are dereferenceable. position is not an iterator in the range (first, last). get_allocator() == x.get_allocator().

Effects: Inserts elements in the range (first, last) after position and removes the elements from x. Pointers and references to the moved elements of x now refer to those same elements but as members of *this. Iterators referring to the moved elements will continue to refer to their elements, but they now behave as iterators into *this, not into x.

Complexity: Ο(distance(first, last))

void remove(const T& value); template <class Predicate> void remove_if(Predicate pred);

Effects: Erases all the elements in the list referred by a list iterator i for which the following conditions hold: *i == value (for remove()), pred(*i) is true (for remove_if()). Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements.

Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by the equality comparison or the predicate.

Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]).

Complexity: Exactly distance(begin(), end()) applications of the corresponding predicate.

void unique(); template <class BinaryPredicate> void unique(BinaryPredicate pred);

Effects: Erases all but the first element from every consecutive group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first + 1, last) for which *i == *(i-1) (for the version with no arguments) or pred(*i, *(i - 1)) (for the version with a predicate argument) holds. Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements.

Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by the equality comparison or the predicate.

Complexity: If the range [first, last) is not empty, exactly (last - first) - 1 applications of the corresponding predicate, otherwise no applications of the predicate.

void merge(forward_list& x); void merge(forward_list&& x); template <class Compare> void merge(forward_list& x, Compare comp); template <class Compare> void merge(forward_list&& x, Compare comp);

Requires: comp defines a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]), and *this and x are both sorted according to this ordering. get_allocator() == x.get_allocator().

Effects: Merges the two sorted ranges [begin(), end()) and [x.begin(), x.end()). x is empty after the merge. If an exception is thrown other than by a comparison there are no effects. Pointers and references to the moved elements of x now refer to those same elements but as members of *this. Iterators referring to the moved elements will continue to refer to their elements, but they now behave as iterators into *this, not into x.

Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]). The behavior is undefined if get_allocator() != x.get_allocator().

Complexity: At most distance(begin(), end()) + distance(x.begin(), x.end()) - 1 comparisons.

void sort(); template <class Compare> void sort(Compare comp);

Requires: operator< (for the version with no arguments) or comp (for the version with a comparison argument) defines a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]).

Effects: Sorts the list according to the operator< or the comp function object. If an exception is thrown the order of the elements in *this is unspecified. Does not affect the validity of iterators and references.

Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]).

Complexity: Approximately N log N comparisons, where N is distance(begin(), end()).

void reverse() noexcept;

Effects: Reverses the order of the elements in the list. Does not affect the validity of iterators and references.

Complexity: Linear time.

23.3.9.7 forward_list specialized algorithms [forwardlist.spec]

template <class T, class Allocator> void swap(forward_list<T, Allocator>& x, forward_list<T, Allocator>& y) noexcept(noexcept(x.swap(y)));

Effects: As if by x.swap(y).

23.3.10 Class template list [list]

23.3.10.1 Class template list overview [list.overview]

A list is a sequence container that supports bidirectional iterators and allows constant time insert and erase operations anywhere within the sequence, with storage management handled automatically. Unlike vectors ([vector]) and deques ([deque]), fast random access to list elements is not supported, but many algorithms only need sequential access anyway.

A list satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container (given in two tables in [container.requirements]), of a sequence container, including most of the optional sequence container requirements ([sequence.reqmts]), and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). The exceptions are the operator[] and at member functions, which are not provided.259 Descriptions are provided here only for operations on list that are not described in one of these tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.

An incomplete type T may be used when instantiating list if the allocator satisfies the allocator completeness requirements [allocator.requirements.completeness]. T shall be complete before any member of the resulting specialization of list is referenced.

These member functions are only provided by containers whose iterators are random access iterators.

23.3.10.2 list constructors, copy, and assignment [list.cons]

explicit list(const Allocator&);

Effects: Constructs an empty list, using the specified allocator.

Complexity: Constant.

explicit list(size_type n, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a list with n default-inserted elements using the specified allocator.

Requires: T shall be DefaultInsertable into *this.

Complexity: Linear in n.

list(size_type n, const T& value, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a list with n copies of value, using the specified allocator.

Requires: T shall be CopyInsertable into *this.

Complexity: Linear in n.

template <class InputIterator> list(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a list equal to the range [first, last).

Complexity: Linear in distance(first, last).

23.3.10.3 list capacity [list.capacity]

void resize(size_type sz);

Effects: If size() < sz, appends sz - size() default-inserted elements to the sequence. If sz <= size(), equivalent to:

list<T>::iterator it = begin();
advance(it, sz);
erase(it, end());

Requires: T shall be DefaultInsertable into *this.

void resize(size_type sz, const T& c);

Effects: As if by:

if (sz > size())
  insert(end(), sz-size(), c);
else if (sz < size()) {
  iterator i = begin();
  advance(i, sz);
  erase(i, end());
}
else
  ;                 // do nothing

Requires: T shall be CopyInsertable into *this.

23.3.10.4 list modifiers [list.modifiers]

iterator insert(const_iterator position, const T& x); iterator insert(const_iterator position, T&& x); iterator insert(const_iterator position, size_type n, const T& x); template <class InputIterator> iterator insert(const_iterator position, InputIterator first, InputIterator last); iterator insert(const_iterator position, initializer_list<T>); template <class... Args> reference emplace_front(Args&&... args); template <class... Args> reference emplace_back(Args&&... args); template <class... Args> iterator emplace(const_iterator position, Args&&... args); void push_front(const T& x); void push_front(T&& x); void push_back(const T& x); void push_back(T&& x);

Remarks: Does not affect the validity of iterators and references. If an exception is thrown there are no effects.

Complexity: Insertion of a single element into a list takes constant time and exactly one call to a constructor of T. Insertion of multiple elements into a list is linear in the number of elements inserted, and the number of calls to the copy constructor or move constructor of T is exactly equal to the number of elements inserted.

iterator erase(const_iterator position); iterator erase(const_iterator first, const_iterator last); void pop_front(); void pop_back(); void clear() noexcept;

Effects: Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Erasing a single element is a constant time operation with a single call to the destructor of T. Erasing a range in a list is linear time in the size of the range and the number of calls to the destructor of type T is exactly equal to the size of the range.

23.3.10.5 list operations [list.ops]

Since lists allow fast insertion and erasing from the middle of a list, certain operations are provided specifically for them.260

list provides three splice operations that destructively move elements from one list to another. The behavior of splice operations is undefined if get_allocator() != x.get_allocator().

void splice(const_iterator position, list& x); void splice(const_iterator position, list&& x);

Requires: &x != this.

Effects: Inserts the contents of x before position and x becomes empty. Pointers and references to the moved elements of x now refer to those same elements but as members of *this. Iterators referring to the moved elements will continue to refer to their elements, but they now behave as iterators into *this, not into x.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Constant time.

void splice(const_iterator position, list& x, const_iterator i); void splice(const_iterator position, list&& x, const_iterator i);

Effects: Inserts an element pointed to by i from list x before position and removes the element from x. The result is unchanged if position == i or position == ++i. Pointers and references to *i continue to refer to this same element but as a member of *this. Iterators to *i (including i itself) continue to refer to the same element, but now behave as iterators into *this, not into x.

Requires: i is a valid dereferenceable iterator of x.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Constant time.

void splice(const_iterator position, list& x, const_iterator first, const_iterator last); void splice(const_iterator position, list&& x, const_iterator first, const_iterator last);

Effects: Inserts elements in the range [first, last) before position and removes the elements from x.

Requires: [first, last) is a valid range in x. The program has undefined behavior if position is an iterator in the range [first, last). Pointers and references to the moved elements of x now refer to those same elements but as members of *this. Iterators referring to the moved elements will continue to refer to their elements, but they now behave as iterators into *this, not into x.

Throws: Nothing.

Complexity: Constant time if &x == this; otherwise, linear time.

void remove(const T& value); template <class Predicate> void remove_if(Predicate pred);

Effects: Erases all the elements in the list referred by a list iterator i for which the following conditions hold: *i == value, pred(*i) != false. Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements.

Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by *i == value or pred(*i) != false.

Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]).

Complexity: Exactly size() applications of the corresponding predicate.

void unique(); template <class BinaryPredicate> void unique(BinaryPredicate binary_pred);

Effects: Erases all but the first element from every consecutive group of equal elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first + 1, last) for which *i == *(i-1) (for the version of unique with no arguments) or pred(*i, *(i - 1)) (for the version of unique with a predicate argument) holds. Invalidates only the iterators and references to the erased elements.

Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by *i == *(i-1) or pred(*i, *(i - 1))

Complexity: If the range [first, last) is not empty, exactly (last - first) - 1 applications of the corresponding predicate, otherwise no applications of the predicate.

void merge(list& x); void merge(list&& x); template <class Compare> void merge(list& x, Compare comp); template <class Compare> void merge(list&& x, Compare comp);

Requires: comp shall define a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]), and both the list and the argument list shall be sorted according to this ordering.

Effects: If (&x == this) does nothing; otherwise, merges the two sorted ranges [begin(), end()) and [x.begin(), x.end()). The result is a range in which the elements will be sorted in non-decreasing order according to the ordering defined by comp; that is, for every iterator i, in the range other than the first, the condition comp(*i, *(i - 1)) will be false. Pointers and references to the moved elements of x now refer to those same elements but as members of *this. Iterators referring to the moved elements will continue to refer to their elements, but they now behave as iterators into *this, not into x.

Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]). If (&x != this) the range [x.begin(), x.end()) is empty after the merge. No elements are copied by this operation. The behavior is undefined if get_allocator() != x.get_allocator().

Complexity: At most size() + x.size() - 1 applications of comp if (&x != this); otherwise, no applications of comp are performed. If an exception is thrown other than by a comparison there are no effects.

void reverse() noexcept;

Effects: Reverses the order of the elements in the list. Does not affect the validity of iterators and references.

Complexity: Linear time.

void sort(); template <class Compare> void sort(Compare comp);

Requires: operator< (for the first version) or comp (for the second version) shall define a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]).

Effects: Sorts the list according to the operator< or a Compare function object. Does not affect the validity of iterators and references.

Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]).

Complexity: Approximately N log(N) comparisons, where N == size().

As specified in [allocator.requirements], the requirements in this Clause apply only to lists whose allocators compare equal.

23.3.10.6 list specialized algorithms [list.special]

template <class T, class Allocator> void swap(list<T, Allocator>& x, list<T, Allocator>& y) noexcept(noexcept(x.swap(y)));

Effects: As if by x.swap(y).

23.3.11 Class template vector [vector]

23.3.11.1 Class template vector overview [vector.overview]

A vector is a sequence container that supports (amortized) constant time insert and erase operations at the end; insert and erase in the middle take linear time. Storage management is handled automatically, though hints can be given to improve efficiency.

A vector satisfies all of the requirements of a container and of a reversible container (given in two tables in [container.requirements]), of a sequence container, including most of the optional sequence container requirements ([sequence.reqmts]), of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]), and, for an element type other than bool, of a contiguous container ([container.requirements.general]). The exceptions are the push_front, pop_front, and emplace_front member functions, which are not provided. Descriptions are provided here only for operations on vector that are not described in one of these tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.

23.3.11.2 vector constructors, copy, and assignment [vector.cons]

explicit vector(const Allocator&);

Effects: Constructs an empty vector, using the specified allocator.

Complexity: Constant.

explicit vector(size_type n, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a vector with n default-inserted elements using the specified allocator.

Requires: T shall be DefaultInsertable into *this.

Complexity: Linear in n.

vector(size_type n, const T& value, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a vector with n copies of value, using the specified allocator.

Requires: T shall be CopyInsertable into *this.

Complexity: Linear in n.

template <class InputIterator> vector(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs a vector equal to the range [first, last), using the specified allocator.

Complexity: Makes only N calls to the copy constructor of T (where N is the distance between first and last) and no reallocations if iterators first and last are of forward, bidirectional, or random access categories. It makes order N calls to the copy constructor of T and order log(N) reallocations if they are just input iterators.

23.3.11.3 vector capacity [vector.capacity]

size_type capacity() const noexcept;

Returns: The total number of elements that the vector can hold without requiring reallocation.

void reserve(size_type n);

Requires: T shall be MoveInsertable into *this.

Effects: A directive that informs a vector of a planned change in size, so that it can manage the storage allocation accordingly. After reserve(), capacity() is greater or equal to the argument of reserve if reallocation happens; and equal to the previous value of capacity() otherwise. Reallocation happens at this point if and only if the current capacity is less than the argument of reserve(). If an exception is thrown other than by the move constructor of a non-CopyInsertable type, there are no effects.

Complexity: It does not change the size of the sequence and takes at most linear time in the size of the sequence.

Throws: length_error if n > max_size().261

Remarks: Reallocation invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence. No reallocation shall take place during insertions that happen after a call to reserve() until the time when an insertion would make the size of the vector greater than the value of capacity().

void shrink_to_fit();

Requires: T shall be MoveInsertable into *this.

Effects: shrink_to_fit is a non-binding request to reduce capacity() to size(). [ Note: The request is non-binding to allow latitude for implementation-specific optimizations.  — end note ] It does not increase capacity(), but may reduce capacity() by causing reallocation. If an exception is thrown other than by the move constructor of a non-CopyInsertable T there are no effects.

Complexity: Linear in the size of the sequence.

Remarks: Reallocation invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence. If no reallocation happens, they remain valid.

void swap(vector& x) noexcept(allocator_traits<Allocator>::propagate_on_container_swap::value || allocator_traits<Allocator>::is_always_equal::value);

Effects: Exchanges the contents and capacity() of *this with that of x.

Complexity: Constant time.

void resize(size_type sz);

Effects: If sz < size(), erases the last size() - sz elements from the sequence. Otherwise, appends sz - size() default-inserted elements to the sequence.

Requires: T shall be MoveInsertable and DefaultInsertable into *this.

Remarks: If an exception is thrown other than by the move constructor of a non-CopyInsertable T there are no effects.

void resize(size_type sz, const T& c);

Effects: If sz < size(), erases the last size() - sz elements from the sequence. Otherwise, appends sz - size() copies of c to the sequence.

Requires: T shall be CopyInsertable into *this.

Remarks: If an exception is thrown there are no effects.

reserve() uses Allocator::allocate() which may throw an appropriate exception.

23.3.11.4 vector data [vector.data]

T* data() noexcept; const T* data() const noexcept;

Returns: A pointer such that [data(), data() + size()) is a valid range. For a non-empty vector, data() == addressof(front()).

Complexity: Constant time.

23.3.11.5 vector modifiers [vector.modifiers]

iterator insert(const_iterator position, const T& x); iterator insert(const_iterator position, T&& x); iterator insert(const_iterator position, size_type n, const T& x); template <class InputIterator> iterator insert(const_iterator position, InputIterator first, InputIterator last); iterator insert(const_iterator position, initializer_list<T>); template <class... Args> reference emplace_back(Args&&... args); template <class... Args> iterator emplace(const_iterator position, Args&&... args); void push_back(const T& x); void push_back(T&& x);

Remarks: Causes reallocation if the new size is greater than the old capacity. Reallocation invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence. If no reallocation happens, all the iterators and references before the insertion point remain valid. If an exception is thrown other than by the copy constructor, move constructor, assignment operator, or move assignment operator of T or by any InputIterator operation there are no effects. If an exception is thrown while inserting a single element at the end and T is CopyInsertable or is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<T> is true, there are no effects. Otherwise, if an exception is thrown by the move constructor of a non-CopyInsertable T, the effects are unspecified.

Complexity: The complexity is linear in the number of elements inserted plus the distance to the end of the vector.

iterator erase(const_iterator position); iterator erase(const_iterator first, const_iterator last); void pop_back();

Effects: Invalidates iterators and references at or after the point of the erase.

Complexity: The destructor of T is called the number of times equal to the number of the elements erased, but the assignment operator of T is called the number of times equal to the number of elements in the vector after the erased elements.

Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by the copy constructor, move constructor, assignment operator, or move assignment operator of T.

To optimize space allocation, a specialization of vector for bool elements is provided:

    template <class... Args> iterator emplace(const_iterator position, Args&&... args);

    static void swap(reference x, reference y) noexcept;
    void flip() noexcept;       // flips all bits
    void clear() noexcept;
  };
}

Unless described below, all operations have the same requirements and semantics as the primary vector template, except that operations dealing with the bool value type map to bit values in the container storage and allocator_traits::construct ([allocator.traits.members]) is not used to construct these values.

There is no requirement that the data be stored as a contiguous allocation of bool values. A space-optimized representation of bits is recommended instead.

reference is a class that simulates the behavior of references of a single bit in vector<bool>. The conversion function returns true when the bit is set, and false otherwise. The assignment operator sets the bit when the argument is (convertible to) true and clears it otherwise. flip reverses the state of the bit.

void flip() noexcept;

Effects: Replaces each element in the container with its complement.

static void swap(reference x, reference y) noexcept;

Effects: Exchanges the contents of x and y as if by:

bool b = x;
x = y;
y = b;

template <class Allocator> struct hash<vector<bool, Allocator>>;

The specialization is enabled ([unord.hash]).

23.4.4 Class template map [map]

23.4.4.1 Class template map overview [map.overview]

A map is an associative container that supports unique keys (contains at most one of each key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys. The map class supports bidirectional iterators.

A map satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container ([container.requirements]), of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]), and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). A map also provides most operations described in ([associative.reqmts]) for unique keys. This means that a map supports the a_uniq operations in ([associative.reqmts]) but not the a_eq operations. For a map<Key,T> the key_type is Key and the value_type is pair<const Key,T>. Descriptions are provided here only for operations on map that are not described in one of those tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.

23.4.4.2 map constructors, copy, and assignment [map.cons]

explicit map(const Compare& comp, const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs an empty map using the specified comparison object and allocator.

Complexity: Constant.

template <class InputIterator> map(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Compare& comp = Compare(), const Allocator& = Allocator());

Effects: Constructs an empty map 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 using comp and otherwise N logN, where N is last - first.

23.4.4.3 map element access [map.access]

T& operator[](const key_type& x);

Effects: Equivalent to: return try_emplace(x).first->second;

T& operator[](key_type&& x);

Effects: Equivalent to: return try_emplace(move(x)).first->second;

T& at(const key_type& x); const T& at(const key_type& x) const;

Returns: A reference to the mapped_type corresponding to x in *this.

Throws: An exception object of type out_of_range if no such element is present.

Complexity: Logarithmic.

23.4.4.4 map modifiers [map.modifiers]

template <class P> pair<iterator, bool> insert(P&& x); template <class P> iterator insert(const_iterator position, P&& x);

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)).

Remarks: These signatures shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_constructible_v<value_type, P&&> is true.

template <class... Args> pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace(const key_type& k, Args&&... args); template <class... Args> iterator try_emplace(const_iterator hint, const key_type& k, Args&&... args);

Requires: value_type shall be EmplaceConstructible into map from piecewise_construct, forward_as_tuple(k), forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Effects: If the map already contains an element whose key is equivalent to k, there is no effect. Otherwise inserts an object of type value_type constructed with piecewise_construct, forward_as_tuple(k), forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Returns: In the first overload, the bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place. The returned iterator points to the map element whose key is equivalent to k.

Complexity: The same as emplace and emplace_hint, respectively.

template <class... Args> pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace(key_type&& k, Args&&... args); template <class... Args> iterator try_emplace(const_iterator hint, key_type&& k, Args&&... args);

Requires: value_type shall be EmplaceConstructible into map from piecewise_construct, forward_as_tuple(std::move(k)), forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Effects: If the map already contains an element whose key is equivalent to k, there is no effect. Otherwise inserts an object of type value_type constructed with piecewise_construct, forward_as_tuple(std::move(k)), forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Returns: In the first overload, the bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place. The returned iterator points to the map element whose key is equivalent to k.

Complexity: The same as emplace and emplace_hint, respectively.

template <class M> pair<iterator, bool> insert_or_assign(const key_type& k, M&& obj); template <class M> iterator insert_or_assign(const_iterator hint, const key_type& k, M&& obj);

Requires: is_assignable_v<mapped_type&, M&&> shall be true. value_type shall be EmplaceConstructible into map from k, forward<M>(obj).

Effects: If the map already contains an element e whose key is equivalent to k, assigns std::forward<M>(obj) to e.second. Otherwise inserts an object of type value_type constructed with k, std::forward<M>(obj).

Returns: In the first overload, the bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place. The returned iterator points to the map element whose key is equivalent to k.

Complexity: The same as emplace and emplace_hint, respectively.

template <class M> pair<iterator, bool> insert_or_assign(key_type&& k, M&& obj); template <class M> iterator insert_or_assign(const_iterator hint, key_type&& k, M&& obj);

Requires: is_assignable_v<mapped_type&, M&&> shall be true. value_type shall be EmplaceConstructible into map from move(k), forward<M>(obj).

Effects: If the map already contains an element e whose key is equivalent to k, assigns std::forward<M>(obj) to e.second. Otherwise inserts an object of type value_type constructed with std::move(k), std::forward<M>(obj).

Returns: In the first overload, the bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place. The returned iterator points to the map element whose key is equivalent to k.

Complexity: The same as emplace and emplace_hint, respectively.

23.4.4.5 map specialized algorithms [map.special]

template <class Key, class T, class Compare, class Allocator> void swap(map<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& x, map<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& y) noexcept(noexcept(x.swap(y)));

Effects: As if by x.swap(y).

23.4.5 Class template multimap [multimap]

23.4.5.1 Class template multimap overview [multimap.overview]

A multimap is an associative container that supports equivalent keys (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 satisfies all of the requirements of a container and of a reversible container ([container.requirements]), of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]), and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). 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.

23.4.6.1 Class template set overview [set.overview]

A set is an associative container that supports unique keys (contains at most one of each key value) and provides for fast retrieval of the keys themselves. The set class supports bidirectional iterators.

A set satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container ([container.requirements]), of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]), and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). A set also provides most operations described in ([associative.reqmts]) for unique keys. This means that a set supports the a_uniq operations in ([associative.reqmts]) but not the a_eq operations. For a set<Key> both the key_type and value_type are Key. Descriptions are provided here only for operations on set that are not described in one of these tables and for operations where there is additional semantic information.

23.4.7 Class template multiset [multiset]

23.4.7.1 Class template multiset overview [multiset.overview]

A multiset is an associative container that supports equivalent keys (possibly contains multiple copies of the same key value) and provides for fast retrieval of the keys themselves. The multiset class supports bidirectional iterators.

A multiset satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of a reversible container ([container.requirements]), of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]), and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). multiset also provides most operations described in ([associative.reqmts]) for duplicate keys. This means that a multiset supports the a_eq operations in ([associative.reqmts]) but not the a_uniq operations. For a multiset<Key> both the key_type and value_type are Key. Descriptions are provided here only for operations on multiset that are not described in one of these tables and for operations where there is additional semantic information.

23.5.4 Class template unordered_map [unord.map]

23.5.4.1 Class template unordered_map overview [unord.map.overview]

An unordered_map is an unordered associative container that supports unique keys (an unordered_map contains at most one of each key value) and that associates values of another type mapped_type with the keys. The unordered_map class supports forward iterators.

An unordered_map satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of an unordered associative container, and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). It provides the operations described in the preceding requirements table for unique keys; that is, an unordered_map supports the a_uniq operations in that table, not the a_eq operations. For an unordered_map<Key, T> the key type is Key, the mapped type is T, and the value type is pair<const Key, T>.

This section only describes operations on unordered_map that are not described in one of the requirement tables, or for which there is additional semantic information.

unordered_map() : unordered_map(size_type(see below)) { } explicit unordered_map(size_type n, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& a = allocator_type());

Effects: Constructs an empty unordered_map using the specified hash function, key equality function, and allocator, and using at least n buckets. For the default constructor, the number of buckets is implementation-defined. max_load_factor() returns 1.0.

Complexity: Constant.

template <class InputIterator> unordered_map(InputIterator f, InputIterator l, size_type n = see below, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& a = allocator_type()); unordered_map(initializer_list<value_type> il, size_type n = see below, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& a = allocator_type());

Effects: Constructs an empty unordered_map using the specified hash function, key equality function, and allocator, and using at least n buckets. If n is not provided, the number of buckets is implementation-defined. Then inserts elements from the range [f, l) for the first form, or from the range [il.begin(), il.end()) for the second form. max_load_factor() returns 1.0.

Complexity: Average case linear, worst case quadratic.

23.5.4.3 unordered_map element access [unord.map.elem]

mapped_type& operator[](const key_type& k);

Effects: Equivalent to: return try_emplace(k).first->second;

Effects: Equivalent to: return try_emplace(move(k)).first->second;

mapped_type& at(const key_type& k); const mapped_type& at(const key_type& k) const;

Returns: A reference to x.second, where x is the (unique) element whose key is equivalent to k.

Throws: An exception object of type out_of_range if no such element is present.

template <class P> iterator insert(const_iterator hint, P&& obj);

Effects: Equivalent to: return emplace_hint(hint, std::forward<P>(obj));

Remarks: This signature shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_constructible_v<value_type, P&&> is true.

template <class... Args> pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace(const key_type& k, Args&&... args); template <class... Args> iterator try_emplace(const_iterator hint, const key_type& k, Args&&... args);

Requires: value_type shall be EmplaceConstructible into unordered_map from piecewise_construct, forward_as_tuple(k), forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Effects: If the map already contains an element whose key is equivalent to k, there is no effect. Otherwise inserts an object of type value_type constructed with piecewise_construct, forward_as_tuple(k), forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Returns: In the first overload, the bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place. The returned iterator points to the map element whose key is equivalent to k.

Complexity: The same as emplace and emplace_hint, respectively.

template <class... Args> pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace(key_type&& k, Args&&... args); template <class... Args> iterator try_emplace(const_iterator hint, key_type&& k, Args&&... args);

Requires: value_type shall be EmplaceConstructible into unordered_map from piecewise_construct, forward_as_tuple(std::move(k)), forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Effects: If the map already contains an element whose key is equivalent to k, there is no effect. Otherwise inserts an object of type value_type constructed with piecewise_construct, forward_as_tuple(std::move(k)), forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...).

Returns: In the first overload, the bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place. The returned iterator points to the map element whose key is equivalent to k.

Complexity: The same as emplace and emplace_hint, respectively.

template <class M> pair<iterator, bool> insert_or_assign(const key_type& k, M&& obj); template <class M> iterator insert_or_assign(const_iterator hint, const key_type& k, M&& obj);

Requires: is_assignable_v<mapped_type&, M&&> shall be true. value_type shall be EmplaceConstructible into unordered_map from k, std::forward<M>(obj).

Effects: If the map already contains an element e whose key is equivalent to k, assigns std::forward<M>(obj) to e.second. Otherwise inserts an object of type value_type constructed with k, std::forward<M>(obj).

Returns: In the first overload, the bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place. The returned iterator points to the map element whose key is equivalent to k.

Complexity: The same as emplace and emplace_hint, respectively.

template <class M> pair<iterator, bool> insert_or_assign(key_type&& k, M&& obj); template <class M> iterator insert_or_assign(const_iterator hint, key_type&& k, M&& obj);

Requires: is_assignable_v<mapped_type&, M&&> shall be true. value_type shall be EmplaceConstructible into unordered_map from std::move(k), std::forward<M>(obj).

Effects: If the map already contains an element e whose key is equivalent to k, assigns std::forward<M>(obj) to e.second. Otherwise inserts an object of type value_type constructed with std::move(k), std::forward<M>(obj).

Returns: In the first overload, the bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place. The returned iterator points to the map element whose key is equivalent to k.

Complexity: The same as emplace and emplace_hint, respectively.

23.5.5 Class template unordered_multimap [unord.multimap]

23.5.5.1 Class template unordered_multimap overview [unord.multimap.overview]

An unordered_multimap is an unordered associative container that supports equivalent keys (an instance of unordered_multimap may contain multiple copies of each key value) and that associates values of another type mapped_type with the keys. The unordered_multimap class supports forward iterators.

An unordered_multimap satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of an unordered associative container, and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). It provides the operations described in the preceding requirements table for equivalent keys; that is, an unordered_multimap supports the a_eq operations in that table, not the a_uniq operations. For an unordered_multimap<Key, T> the key type is Key, the mapped type is T, and the value type is pair<const Key, T>.

This section only describes operations on unordered_multimap that are not described in one of the requirement tables, or for which there is additional semantic information.

An unordered_set is an unordered associative container that supports unique keys (an unordered_set contains at most one of each key value) and in which the elements' keys are the elements themselves. The unordered_set class supports forward iterators.

An unordered_set satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of an unordered associative container, and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). It provides the operations described in the preceding requirements table for unique keys; that is, an unordered_set supports the a_uniq operations in that table, not the a_eq operations. For an unordered_set<Key> the key type and the value type are both Key. The iterator and const_iterator types are both constant iterator types. It is unspecified whether they are the same type.

This section only describes operations on unordered_set that are not described in one of the requirement tables, or for which there is additional semantic information.

Effects: Constructs an empty unordered_set using the specified hash function, key equality function, and allocator, and using at least n buckets. For the default constructor, the number of buckets is implementation-defined. max_load_factor() returns 1.0.

Complexity: Constant.

template <class InputIterator> unordered_set(InputIterator f, InputIterator l, size_type n = see below, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& a = allocator_type()); unordered_set(initializer_list<value_type> il, size_type n = see below, const hasher& hf = hasher(), const key_equal& eql = key_equal(), const allocator_type& a = allocator_type());

Effects: Constructs an empty unordered_set using the specified hash function, key equality function, and allocator, and using at least n buckets. If n is not provided, the number of buckets is implementation-defined. Then inserts elements from the range [f, l) for the first form, or from the range [il.begin(), il.end()) for the second form. max_load_factor() returns 1.0.

23.5.7 Class template unordered_multiset [unord.multiset]

23.5.7.1 Class template unordered_multiset overview [unord.multiset.overview]

An unordered_multiset is an unordered associative container that supports equivalent keys (an instance of unordered_multiset may contain multiple copies of the same key value) and in which each element's key is the element itself. The unordered_multiset class supports forward iterators.

An unordered_multiset satisfies all of the requirements of a container, of an unordered associative container, and of an allocator-aware container (Table [tab:containers.allocatoraware]). It provides the operations described in the preceding requirements table for equivalent keys; that is, an unordered_multiset supports the a_eq operations in that table, not the a_uniq operations. For an unordered_multiset<Key> the key type and the value type are both Key. The iterator and const_iterator types are both constant iterator types. It is unspecified whether they are the same type.

This section only describes operations on unordered_multiset that are not described in one of the requirement tables, or for which there is additional semantic information.

23.6 Container adaptors [container.adaptors]

23.6.1 In general [container.adaptors.general]

The headers <queue> and <stack> define the container adaptors queue, priority_queue, and stack.

The container adaptors each take a Container template parameter, and each constructor takes a Container reference argument. This container is copied into the Container member of each adaptor. If the container takes an allocator, then a compatible allocator may be passed in to the adaptor's constructor. Otherwise, normal copy or move construction is used for the container argument. The first template parameter T of the container adaptors shall denote the same type as Container::value_type.

For container adaptors, no swap function throws an exception unless that exception is thrown by the swap of the adaptor's Container or Compare object (if any).

23.6.4.1 queue definition [queue.defn]

Any sequence container supporting operations front(), back(), push_back() and pop_front() can be used to instantiate queue. In particular, list ([list]) and deque ([deque]) can be used.

namespace std {

23.6.5 Class template priority_queue [priority.queue]

Any sequence container with random access iterator and supporting operations front(), push_back() and pop_back() can be used to instantiate priority_queue. In particular, vector ([vector]) and deque ([deque]) can be used. Instantiating priority_queue also involves supplying a function or function object for making priority comparisons; the library assumes that the function or function object defines a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]).

namespace std {
  template <class T, class Container = vector<T>,
    class Compare = default_order_t<typename Container::value_type>>
  class priority_queue {
  public:
    using value_type      = typename Container::value_type;
    using reference       = typename Container::reference;
    using const_reference = typename Container::const_reference;
    using size_type       = typename Container::size_type;
    using container_type  = Container;
    using value_compare   = Compare;

  protected:
    Container c;
    Compare comp;

  public:
    priority_queue(const Compare& x, const Container&);
    explicit priority_queue(const Compare& x = Compare(), Container&& = Container());
    template <class InputIterator>

    template <class Alloc> priority_queue(priority_queue&&, const Alloc&);

    bool      empty() const       { return c.empty(); }
    size_type size()  const       { return c.size(); }
    const_reference   top() const { return c.front(); }
    void push(const value_type& x);
    void push(value_type&& x);
    template <class... Args> void emplace(Args&&... args);
    void pop();
    void swap(priority_queue& q) noexcept(is_nothrow_swappable_v<Container> &&
                                          is_nothrow_swappable_v<Compare>)

              priority_queue<T, Container, Compare>& y) noexcept(noexcept(x.swap(y)));

  template <class T, class Container, class Compare, class Alloc>
    struct uses_allocator<priority_queue<T, Container, Compare>, Alloc>
      : uses_allocator<Container, Alloc>::type { };
}

23.6.5.1 priority_queue constructors [priqueue.cons]

priority_queue(const Compare& x, const Container& y); explicit priority_queue(const Compare& x = Compare(), Container&& y = Container());

Requires: x shall define a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]).

Effects: Initializes comp with x and c with y (copy constructing or move constructing as appropriate); calls make_heap(c.begin(), c.end(), comp).

Effects: Initializes c with std::move(cont) as the first argument and a as the second argument, and initializes comp with compare; calls make_heap(c.begin(), c.end(), comp).

template <class Alloc> priority_queue(const priority_queue& q, const Alloc& a);

Effects: Initializes c with q.c as the first argument and a as the second argument, and initializes comp with q.comp.

template <class Alloc> priority_queue(priority_queue&& q, const Alloc& a);

Effects: Initializes c with std::move(q.c) as the first argument and a as the second argument, and initializes comp with std::move(q.comp).
