22.2 Container requirements [container.requirements]

22.2.1 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 1:
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 function allocator_­traits<allocator_­type>​::​rebind_­traits<U>​::​​construct and destroyed using the function allocator_­traits<allocator_­type>​::​rebind_­traits<U>​::​​destroy, 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 1:
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 73, 74, and 75 X denotes a container class containing objects of type T, a and b denote values of type X, i and j denote values of type (possibly const) X​::​iterator, u denotes an identifier, r denotes a non-const value of type X, and rv denotes a non-const rvalue of type X.

Those entries marked “(Note A)” or “(Note B)” have linear complexity for array and have constant complexity for all other standard containers.
[Note 2:
The algorithm equal is defined in [algorithms].
— end note]
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 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 3:
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 4:
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, the container is called reversible and meets the additional requirements in Table 74.

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 5:
    The end() iterator does not refer to any element, so it can 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 whose member types iterator and const_­iterator meet the Cpp17RandomAccessIterator requirements ([random.access.iterators]) and model contiguous_­iterator ([iterator.concept.contiguous]).
Table 75 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 75 unless otherwise stated.
If the iterators passed to lexicographical_­compare_­three_­way meet the constexpr iterator requirements ([iterator.requirements.general]) then the operations described in Table 75 are implemented by constexpr functions.

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 76.
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 Cpp17DefaultInsertable 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 Cpp17MoveInsertable 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 7:
    rv remains a valid object.
    Its state is unspecified
    — end note]
  • T is Cpp17CopyInsertable into X means that, in addition to T being Cpp17MoveInsertable 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 Cpp17EmplaceConstructible 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 Cpp17Erasable from X means that the following expression is well-formed: allocator_traits<A>::destroy(m, p)
[Note 8:
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 can choose a different definition.
— end note]
In Table 76, 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.

The behavior of certain container member functions and deduction guides depends on whether types qualify as input iterators or allocators.
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.
Likewise, the extent to which an implementation determines that a type cannot be an allocator is unspecified, except that as a minimum a type A shall not qualify as an allocator unless it meets both of the following conditions:
  • The qualified-id A​::​value_­type is valid and denotes a type ([temp.deduct]).
  • The expression declval<A&>().allocate(size_­t{}) is well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand.

22.2.2 Container data races [container.requirements.dataraces]

For purposes of avoiding 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 1:
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 can result in a data race.
As an exception to the general rule, for a vector<bool> y, y[0] = true can race with y[1] = true.
— end note]

22.2.3 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 defines).
[Note 1:
The sequence containers offer the programmer different complexity trade-offs.
vector is appropriate in most circumstances.
array has a fixed size known during translation.
list or forward_­list support frequent insertions and deletions from the middle of the sequence.
deque supports efficient insertions and deletions taking place at the beginning or at the end of the sequence.
When choosing a container, remember vector is best; leave a comment to explain if you choose from the rest!
— end note]
In Tables 77 and 78, 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 that meet the Cpp17InputIterator 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.

For every sequence container defined in this Clause and in [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.

22.2.4 Node handles [container.node]

22.2.4.1 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.

If a node handle is empty, it contains no allocator.
Class node-handle is for exposition only.
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.

22.2.6 Associative containers [associative.reqmts]

22.2.6.1 General [associative.reqmts.general]

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 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 object.
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.
[Note 1:
This is not necessarily the same as the result of k1 == k2.
— end note]
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 2:
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, except that for map and multimap, the requirements placed on value_­type in Table 76 apply instead to key_­type and mapped_­type.
[Note 3:
For example, in some cases key_­type and mapped_­type are required to be Cpp17CopyAssignable even though the associated value_­type, pair<const key_­type, mapped_­type>, is not Cpp17CopyAssignable.

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, through either 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, contains, 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]).
A deduction guide for an associative container shall not participate in overload resolution if any of the following are true:
  • It has an InputIterator template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an input iterator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has an Allocator template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has a Compare template parameter and a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.

22.2.6.2 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).

22.2.7 Unordered associative containers [unord.req]

22.2.7.1 General [unord.req.general]

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, 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 Cpp17Hash 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 are considered equivalent if the container's key equality predicate pred(k1, k2) is valid and 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 1:
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 2:
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, except that for unordered_­map and unordered_­multimap, the requirements placed on value_­type in Table 76 apply instead to key_­type and mapped_­type.
[Note 3:
For example, key_­type and mapped_­type are sometimes required to be Cpp17CopyAssignable even though the associated value_­type, pair<const key_­type, mapped_­type>, is not Cpp17CopyAssignable.
— end note]

  • X denotes an unordered associative container class,
  • a denotes a value of type X,
  • a2 denotes a value of a type with nodes compatible with type X (Table 79),

a.reserve(n)
void
Same as a.rehash(ceil(n / a.max_­load_­factor())).

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 in the worst case, where N is a.size().
For unordered_­multiset and unordered_­multimap, the complexity of operator== is proportional to in the average case and to in the worst case, where N is a.size(), and is the size of the equivalent-key group in a.
However, if the respective elements of each corresponding pair of equivalent-key groups and 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 , 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 Pred function object has the same behavior for both containers and the equality comparison function for Key is a refinement230 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.
The member function templates find, count, equal_­range, and contains shall not participate in overload resolution unless the qualified-ids Pred​::​is_­transparent and Hash​::​is_­transparent are both valid and denote types ([temp.deduct]).
A deduction guide for an unordered associative container shall not participate in overload resolution if any of the following are true:
  • It has an InputIterator template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an input iterator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has an Allocator template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has a Hash template parameter and an integral type or a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has a Pred template parameter and a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
Equality comparison is a refinement of partitioning if no two objects that compare equal fall into different partitions.
 

22.2.7.2 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.

22.3.7 Class template array [array]

22.3.7.1 Overview [array.overview]

The header <array> defines a class template for storing fixed-size sequences of objects.
An array is a contiguous container.
An instance of array<T, N> stores N elements of type T, so that size() == N is an invariant.
An array is an aggregate that can be list-initialized with up to N elements whose types are convertible to T.
An array meets 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 meets some of the requirements of a sequence container.

22.3.7.2 Constructors, copy, and assignment [array.cons]

The conditions for an aggregate shall be met.
Class array relies on the implicitly-declared special member functions ([class.default.ctor], [class.dtor], and [class.copy.ctor]) 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 Cpp17MoveConstructible or Cpp17MoveAssignable, respectively.
template<class T, class... U> array(T, U...) -> array<T, 1 + sizeof...(U)>;
Mandates: (is_­same_­v<T, U> && ...) is true.

Effects: As if by fill_­n(begin(), N, u).
constexpr void swap(array& y) noexcept(is_nothrow_swappable_v<T>);
Effects: Equivalent to swap_­ranges(begin(), end(), y.begin()).
[Note 1:
Unlike the swap function for other containers, array​::​swap takes linear time, can exit via an exception, and does not cause iterators to become associated with the other container.

22.3.8 Class template deque [deque]

22.3.8.1 Overview [deque.overview]

A deque is a sequence container that supports 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 meets 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 76).
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.
namespace std { template<class T, class Allocator = allocator<T>> class deque { public: // types using value_type = T; using allocator_type = Allocator; using pointer = typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::pointer; using const_pointer = typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::const_pointer; using reference = value_type&; using const_reference = const value_type&; using size_type = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using difference_type = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using iterator = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using const_iterator = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator<iterator>; using const_reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator>; // [deque.cons], construct/copy/destroy deque() : deque(Allocator()) { } explicit deque(const Allocator&); explicit deque(size_type n, const Allocator& = Allocator()); deque(size_type n, const T& value, const Allocator& = Allocator()); template<class InputIterator> deque(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& = Allocator()); deque(const deque& x); deque(deque&&); deque(const deque&, const Allocator&); deque(deque&&, const Allocator&); deque(initializer_list<T>, const Allocator& = Allocator()); ~deque(); deque& operator=(const deque& x); deque& operator=(deque&& x) noexcept(allocator_traits<Allocator>::is_always_equal::value); deque& operator=(initializer_list<T>); template<class InputIterator> void assign(InputIterator first, InputIterator last); void assign(size_type n, const T& t); void assign(initializer_list<T>); allocator_type get_allocator() const noexcept; // iterators iterator begin() noexcept; const_iterator begin() const noexcept; iterator end() noexcept; const_iterator end() const noexcept; reverse_iterator rbegin() noexcept; const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const noexcept; reverse_iterator rend() noexcept; const_reverse_iterator rend() const noexcept; const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept; const_iterator cend() const noexcept; const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const noexcept; const_reverse_iterator crend() const noexcept; // [deque.capacity], capacity [[nodiscard]] bool empty() const noexcept; size_type size() const noexcept; size_type max_size() const noexcept; void resize(size_type sz); void resize(size_type sz, const T& c); void shrink_to_fit(); // element access reference operator[](size_type n); const_reference operator[](size_type n) const; reference at(size_type n); const_reference at(size_type n) const; reference front(); const_reference front() const; reference back(); const_reference back() const; // [deque.modifiers], modifiers template<class...

22.3.8.2 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());
Preconditions: T is Cpp17DefaultInsertable into *this.
Effects: Constructs a deque with n default-inserted elements using the specified allocator.
Complexity: Linear in n.
deque(size_type n, const T& value, const Allocator& = Allocator());
Preconditions: T is Cpp17CopyInsertable into *this.
Effects: Constructs a deque with n copies of value, using the specified allocator.
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).

22.3.8.3 Capacity [deque.capacity]

void resize(size_type sz);
Preconditions: T is Cpp17MoveInsertable and Cpp17DefaultInsertable into *this.
Effects: If sz < size(), erases the last size() - sz elements from the sequence.
Otherwise, appends sz - size() default-inserted elements to the sequence.
void resize(size_type sz, const T& c);
Preconditions: T is Cpp17CopyInsertable into *this.
Effects: If sz < size(), erases the last size() - sz elements from the sequence.
Otherwise, appends sz - size() copies of c to the sequence.
void shrink_to_fit();
Preconditions: T is Cpp17MoveInsertable 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 1:
The request is non-binding to allow latitude for implementation-specific optimizations.
— end note]
If the size is equal to the old capacity, or if an exception is thrown other than by the move constructor of a non-Cpp17CopyInsertable T, then there are no effects.
Complexity: If the size is not equal to the old capacity, linear in the size of the sequence; otherwise constant.
Remarks: If the size is not equal to the old capacity, then invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence, as well as the past-the-end iterator.

22.3.8.4 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.
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 at either the beginning or end of a deque always takes constant time and causes a single call to a constructor of T.
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-Cpp17CopyInsertable T, the effects are unspecified.
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 1:
pop_­front and pop_­back are erase operations.
— end note]
Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by the assignment operator of T.
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.

22.3.8.5 Erasure [deque.erasure]

template<class T, class Allocator, class U> typename deque<T, Allocator>::size_type erase(deque<T, Allocator>& c, const U& value);
Effects: Equivalent to: auto it = remove(c.begin(), c.end(), value); auto r = distance(it, c.end()); c.erase(it, c.end()); return r;
template<class T, class Allocator, class Predicate> typename deque<T, Allocator>::size_type erase_if(deque<T, Allocator>& c, Predicate pred);
Effects: Equivalent to: auto it = remove_if(c.begin(), c.end(), pred); auto r = distance(it, c.end()); c.erase(it, c.end()); return r;

22.3.9 Class template forward_­list [forwardlist]

22.3.9.1 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 1:
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 meets all of the requirements of a container (Table 73), except that the size() member function is not provided and operator== has linear complexity.
A forward_­list also meets all of the requirements for an allocator-aware container (Table 76).
In addition, a forward_­list provides the assign member functions (Table 77) and several of the optional container requirements (Table 78).
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 2:
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, erase_­after and splice_­after take fully-open ranges, not semi-open ranges.
— end note]

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

Effects: Erases all the elements in the list referred to 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.
Returns: The number of elements erased.
Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by the equality comparison or the predicate.
Complexity: Exactly distance(begin(), end()) applications of the corresponding predicate.
Remarks: Stable.

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.
Returns: The number of elements erased.
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);
Preconditions: *this and x are both sorted with respect to the comparator operator< (for the first two overloads) or comp (for the last two overloads), and get_­allocator() == x.get_­allocator() is true.
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.
Complexity: At most distance(begin(), end()) + distance(x.begin(), x.end()) - 1 comparisons.
Remarks: Stable.
void sort(); template<class Compare> void sort(Compare comp);
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.
Complexity: Approximately comparisons, where N is distance(begin(), end()).
Remarks: Stable.
void reverse() noexcept;
Effects: Reverses the order of the elements in the list.

22.3.10 Class template list [list]

22.3.10.1 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 and deques, fast random access to list elements is not supported, but many algorithms only need sequential access anyway.
A list meets 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 76).
The exceptions are the operator[] and at member functions, which are not provided.231
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.
namespace std { template<class T, class Allocator = allocator<T>> class list { public: // types using value_type = T; using allocator_type = Allocator; using pointer = typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::pointer; using const_pointer = typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::const_pointer; using reference = value_type&; using const_reference = const value_type&; using size_type = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using difference_type = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using iterator = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using const_iterator = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator<iterator>; using const_reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator>; // [list.cons], construct/copy/destroy list() : list(Allocator()) { } explicit list(const Allocator&); explicit list(size_type n, const Allocator& = Allocator()); list(size_type n, const T& value, const Allocator& = Allocator()); template<class InputIterator> list(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& = Allocator()); list(const list& x); list(list&& x); list(const list&, const Allocator&); list(list&&, const Allocator&); list(initializer_list<T>, const Allocator& = Allocator()); ~list(); list& operator=(const list& x); list& operator=(list&& x) noexcept(allocator_traits<Allocator>::is_always_equal::value); list& operator=(initializer_list<T>); template<class InputIterator> void assign(InputIterator first, InputIterator last); void assign(size_type n, const T& t); void assign(initializer_list<T>); allocator_type get_allocator() const noexcept; // iterators iterator begin() noexcept; const_iterator begin() const noexcept; iterator end() noexcept; const_iterator end() const noexcept; reverse_iterator rbegin() noexcept; const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const noexcept; reverse_iterator rend() noexcept; const_reverse_iterator rend() const noexcept; const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept; const_iterator cend() const noexcept; const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const noexcept; const_reverse_iterator crend() const noexcept; // [list.capacity], capacity [[nodiscard]] bool empty() const noexcept; size_type size() const noexcept; size_type max_size() const noexcept; void resize(size_type sz); void resize(size_type sz, const T& c); // element access reference front(); const_reference front() const; reference back(); const_reference back() const; // [list.modifiers], modifiers template<class...

An incomplete type T may be used when instantiating list if the allocator meets the allocator completeness requirements.
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.
 

22.3.10.2 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());
Preconditions: T is Cpp17DefaultInsertable 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).

22.3.10.3 Capacity [list.capacity]

void resize(size_type sz);
Preconditions: T is Cpp17DefaultInsertable into *this.
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());
void resize(size_type sz, const T& c);
Preconditions: T is Cpp17CopyInsertable into *this.
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

22.3.10.4 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);
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.
Remarks: Does not affect the validity of iterators and references.
If an exception is thrown there are no effects.
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.

22.3.10.5 Operations [list.ops]

Since lists allow fast insertion and erasing from the middle of a list, certain operations are provided specifically for them.232
In this subclause, arguments for a template parameter named Predicate or BinaryPredicate shall meet the corresponding requirements in [algorithms.requirements].
For merge and sort, the definitions and requirements in [alg.sorting] apply.
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);
Preconditions: addressof(x) != this is true.
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);
Preconditions: i is a valid dereferenceable iterator of x.
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.
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);
Preconditions: [first, last) is a valid range in x.
position is not an iterator in the range [first, last).
Effects: Inserts elements in the range [first, last) before 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.
Throws: Nothing.
Complexity: Constant time if addressof(x) == this; otherwise, linear time.
size_type remove(const T& value); template<class Predicate> size_type remove_if(Predicate pred);
Effects: Erases all the elements in the list referred to 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.
Returns: The number of elements erased.
Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by *i == value or pred(*i) != false.
Complexity: Exactly size() applications of the corresponding predicate.
Remarks: Stable.
size_type unique(); template<class BinaryPredicate> size_type 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.
Returns: The number of elements erased.
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);
Preconditions: Both the list and the argument list shall be sorted with respect to the comparator operator< (for the first two overloads) or comp (for the last two overloads), and get_­allocator() == x.get_­allocator() is true.
Effects: If addressof(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.
Complexity: At most size() + x.size() - 1 applications of comp if addressof(x) != this; otherwise, no applications of comp are performed.
If an exception is thrown other than by a comparison there are no effects.
Remarks: Stable.
If addressof(x) != this, the range [x.begin(), x.end()) is empty after the merge.
No elements are copied by this operation.
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);
Effects: Sorts the list according to the operator< or a Compare 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.
Complexity: Approximately comparisons, where N == size().
Remarks: Stable.
As specified in [allocator.requirements], the requirements in this Clause apply only to lists whose allocators compare equal.
 

22.3.10.6 Erasure [list.erasure]

template<class T, class Allocator, class U> typename list<T, Allocator>::size_type erase(list<T, Allocator>& c, const U& value);
Effects: Equivalent to: return erase_­if(c, [&](auto& elem) { return elem == value; });
template<class T, class Allocator, class Predicate> typename list<T, Allocator>::size_type erase_if(list<T, Allocator>& c, Predicate pred);
Effects: Equivalent to: return c.remove_­if(pred);

22.3.11 Class template vector [vector]

22.3.11.1 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 meets 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 76), and, for an element type other than bool, of a contiguous container.
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.
The types iterator and const_­iterator meet the constexpr iterator requirements ([iterator.requirements.general]).
namespace std { template<class T, class Allocator = allocator<T>> class vector { public: // types using value_type = T; using allocator_type = Allocator; using pointer = typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::pointer; using const_pointer = typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::const_pointer; using reference = value_type&; using const_reference = const value_type&; using size_type = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using difference_type = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using iterator = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using const_iterator = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator<iterator>; using const_reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator>; // [vector.cons], construct/copy/destroy constexpr vector() noexcept(noexcept(Allocator())) : vector(Allocator()) { } constexpr explicit vector(const Allocator&) noexcept; constexpr explicit vector(size_type n, const Allocator& = Allocator()); constexpr vector(size_type n, const T& value, const Allocator& = Allocator()); template<class InputIterator> constexpr vector(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& = Allocator()); constexpr vector(const vector& x); constexpr vector(vector&&) noexcept; constexpr vector(const vector&, const Allocator&); constexpr vector(vector&&, const Allocator&); constexpr vector(initializer_list<T>, const Allocator& = Allocator()); constexpr ~vector(); constexpr vector& operator=(const vector& x); constexpr vector& operator=(vector&& x) noexcept(allocator_traits<Allocator>::propagate_on_container_move_assignment::value || allocator_traits<Allocator>::is_always_equal::value); constexpr vector& operator=(initializer_list<T>); template<class InputIterator> constexpr void assign(InputIterator first, InputIterator last); constexpr void assign(size_type n, const T& u); constexpr void assign(initializer_list<T>); constexpr allocator_type get_allocator() const noexcept; // iterators constexpr iterator begin() noexcept; constexpr const_iterator begin() const noexcept; constexpr iterator end() noexcept; constexpr const_iterator end() const noexcept; constexpr reverse_iterator rbegin() noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const noexcept; constexpr reverse_iterator rend() noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator rend() const noexcept; constexpr const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept; constexpr const_iterator cend() const noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator crend() const noexcept; // [vector.capacity], capacity [[nodiscard]] constexpr bool empty() const noexcept; constexpr size_type size() const noexcept; constexpr size_type max_size() const noexcept; constexpr size_type capacity() const noexcept; constexpr void resize(size_type sz); constexpr void resize(size_type sz, const T& c); constexpr void reserve(size_type n); constexpr void shrink_to_fit(); // element access constexpr reference operator[](size_type n); constexpr const_reference operator[](size_type n) const; constexpr const_reference at(size_type n) const; constexpr reference at(size_type n); constexpr reference front(); constexpr const_reference front() const; constexpr reference back(); constexpr const_reference back() const; // [vector.data], data access constexpr T* data() noexcept; constexpr const T* data() const noexcept; // [vector.modifiers], modifiers template<class...

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

22.3.11.2 Constructors [vector.cons]

constexpr explicit vector(const Allocator&) noexcept;
Effects: Constructs an empty vector, using the specified allocator.
Complexity: Constant.
constexpr explicit vector(size_type n, const Allocator& = Allocator());
Preconditions: T is Cpp17DefaultInsertable into *this.
Effects: Constructs a vector with n default-inserted elements using the specified allocator.
Complexity: Linear in n.
constexpr vector(size_type n, const T& value, const Allocator& = Allocator());
Preconditions: T is Cpp17CopyInsertable into *this.
Effects: Constructs a vector with n copies of value, using the specified allocator.
Complexity: Linear in n.
template<class InputIterator> constexpr 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 reallocations if they are just input iterators.

22.3.11.3 Capacity [vector.capacity]

constexpr size_type capacity() const noexcept;
Returns: The total number of elements that the vector can hold without requiring reallocation.
Complexity: Constant time.
constexpr void reserve(size_type n);
Preconditions: T is Cpp17MoveInsertable 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-Cpp17CopyInsertable type, there are no effects.
Throws: length_­error if n > max_­size().233
Complexity: It does not change the size of the sequence and takes at most linear time in the size of the sequence.
Remarks: Reallocation invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence, as well as the past-the-end iterator.
[Note 1:
If no reallocation happens, they remain valid.
— end note]
No reallocation shall take place during insertions that happen after a call to reserve() until an insertion would make the size of the vector greater than the value of capacity().
constexpr void shrink_to_fit();
Preconditions: T is Cpp17MoveInsertable into *this.
Effects: shrink_­to_­fit is a non-binding request to reduce capacity() to size().
[Note 2:
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-Cpp17CopyInsertable T there are no effects.
Complexity: If reallocation happens, linear in the size of the sequence.
Remarks: Reallocation invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence as well as the past-the-end iterator.
[Note 3:
If no reallocation happens, they remain valid.
— end note]
constexpr 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.
constexpr void resize(size_type sz);
Preconditions: T is Cpp17MoveInsertable and Cpp17DefaultInsertable into *this.
Effects: If sz < size(), erases the last size() - sz elements from the sequence.
Otherwise, appends sz - size() default-inserted elements to the sequence.
Remarks: If an exception is thrown other than by the move constructor of a non-Cpp17CopyInsertable T there are no effects.
constexpr void resize(size_type sz, const T& c);
Preconditions: T is Cpp17CopyInsertable into *this.
Effects: If sz < size(), erases the last size() - sz elements from the sequence.
Otherwise, appends sz - size() copies of c to the sequence.
Remarks: If an exception is thrown there are no effects.
reserve() uses Allocator​::​allocate() which can throw an appropriate exception.
 

22.3.11.4 Data [vector.data]

constexpr T* data() noexcept; constexpr 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.

22.3.11.5 Modifiers [vector.modifiers]

constexpr iterator insert(const_iterator position, const T& x); constexpr iterator insert(const_iterator position, T&& x); constexpr iterator insert(const_iterator position, size_type n, const T& x); template<class InputIterator> constexpr iterator insert(const_iterator position, InputIterator first, InputIterator last); constexpr iterator insert(const_iterator position, initializer_list<T>); template<class... Args> constexpr reference emplace_back(Args&&... args); template<class... Args> constexpr iterator emplace(const_iterator position, Args&&... args); constexpr void push_back(const T& x); constexpr void push_back(T&& x);
Complexity: If reallocation happens, linear in the number of elements of the resulting vector; otherwise, linear in the number of elements inserted plus the distance to the end of the vector.
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, as well as the past-the-end iterator.
If no reallocation happens, then references, pointers, and iterators before the insertion point remain valid but those at or after the insertion point, including the past-the-end iterator, are invalidated.
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 Cpp17CopyInsertable 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-Cpp17CopyInsertable T, the effects are unspecified.
constexpr iterator erase(const_iterator position); constexpr iterator erase(const_iterator first, const_iterator last); constexpr void pop_back();
Effects: Invalidates iterators and references at or after the point of the erase.
Throws: Nothing unless an exception is thrown by the assignment operator or move assignment operator of T.
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.

22.3.11.6 Erasure [vector.erasure]

template<class T, class Allocator, class U> constexpr typename vector<T, Allocator>::size_type erase(vector<T, Allocator>& c, const U& value);
Effects: Equivalent to: auto it = remove(c.begin(), c.end(), value); auto r = distance(it, c.end()); c.erase(it, c.end()); return r;
template<class T, class Allocator, class Predicate> constexpr typename vector<T, Allocator>::size_type erase_if(vector<T, Allocator>& c, Predicate pred);
Effects: Equivalent to: auto it = remove_if(c.begin(), c.end(), pred); auto r = distance(it, c.end()); c.erase(it, c.end()); return r;

22.3.12 Class vector<bool> [vector.bool]

To optimize space allocation, a specialization of vector for bool elements is provided: namespace std { template<class Allocator> class vector<bool, Allocator> { public: // types using value_type = bool; using allocator_type = Allocator; using pointer = implementation-defined; using const_pointer = implementation-defined; using const_reference = bool; using size_type = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using difference_type = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using iterator = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using const_iterator = implementation-defined; // see [container.requirements] using reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator<iterator>; using const_reverse_iterator = std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator>; // bit reference class reference { friend class vector; constexpr reference() noexcept; public: constexpr reference(const reference&) = default; constexpr ~reference(); constexpr operator bool() const noexcept; constexpr reference& operator=(const bool x) noexcept; constexpr reference& operator=(const reference& x) noexcept; constexpr void flip() noexcept; // flips the bit }; // construct/copy/destroy constexpr vector() : vector(Allocator()) { } constexpr explicit vector(const Allocator&); constexpr explicit vector(size_type n, const Allocator& = Allocator()); constexpr vector(size_type n, const bool& value, const Allocator& = Allocator()); template<class InputIterator> constexpr vector(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& = Allocator()); constexpr vector(const vector& x); constexpr vector(vector&& x); constexpr vector(const vector&, const Allocator&); constexpr vector(vector&&, const Allocator&); constexpr vector(initializer_list<bool>, const Allocator& = Allocator())); constexpr ~vector(); constexpr vector& operator=(const vector& x); constexpr vector& operator=(vector&& x); constexpr vector& operator=(initializer_list<bool>); template<class InputIterator> constexpr void assign(InputIterator first, InputIterator last); constexpr void assign(size_type n, const bool& t); constexpr void assign(initializer_list<bool>); constexpr allocator_type get_allocator() const noexcept; // iterators constexpr iterator begin() noexcept; constexpr const_iterator begin() const noexcept; constexpr iterator end() noexcept; constexpr const_iterator end() const noexcept; constexpr reverse_iterator rbegin() noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator rbegin() const noexcept; constexpr reverse_iterator rend() noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator rend() const noexcept; constexpr const_iterator cbegin() const noexcept; constexpr const_iterator cend() const noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator crbegin() const noexcept; constexpr const_reverse_iterator crend() const noexcept; // capacity [[nodiscard]] constexpr bool empty() const noexcept; constexpr size_type size() const noexcept; constexpr size_type max_size() const noexcept; constexpr size_type capacity() const noexcept; constexpr void resize(size_type sz, bool c = false); constexpr void reserve(size_type n); constexpr void shrink_to_fit(); // element access constexpr reference operator[](size_type n); constexpr const_reference operator[](size_type n) const; constexpr const_reference at(size_type n) const; constexpr reference at(size_type n); constexpr reference front(); constexpr const_reference front() const; constexpr reference back(); constexpr const_reference back() const; // modifiers template<class...

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 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.
constexpr void flip() noexcept;
Effects: Replaces each element in the container with its complement.
constexpr 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]).

22.4.4 Class template map [map]

22.4.4.1 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 meets 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 76).
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.

22.4.5 Class template multimap [multimap]

22.4.5.1 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 meets 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 76).
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.

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 meets 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 76).
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.

22.5.4 Class template unordered_­map [unord.map]

22.5.4.1 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 meets all of the requirements of a container, of an unordered associative container, and of an allocator-aware container (Table 76).
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.

22.5.5 Class template unordered_­multimap [unord.multimap]

22.5.5.1 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 meets all of the requirements of a container, of an unordered associative container, and of an allocator-aware container (Table 76).
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>.
Subclause [unord.multimap] only describes operations on unordered_­multimap that are not described in one of the requirement tables, or for which there is additional semantic information.

22.5.6 Class template unordered_­set [unord.set]

22.5.6.1 Overview [unord.set.overview]

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 meets all of the requirements of a container, of an unordered associative container, and of an allocator-aware container (Table 76).
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.
Subclause [unord.set] only describes operations on unordered_­set that are not described in one of the requirement tables, or for which there is additional semantic information.

22.5.7 Class template unordered_­multiset [unord.multiset]

22.5.7.1 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 meets all of the requirements of a container, of an unordered associative container, and of an allocator-aware container (Table 76).
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.
Subclause [unord.multiset] only describes operations on unordered_­multiset that are not described in one of the requirement tables, or for which there is additional semantic information.

22.6 Container adaptors [container.adaptors]

22.6.1 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).
A deduction guide for a container adaptor shall not participate in overload resolution if any of the following are true:
  • It has an InputIterator template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an input iterator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has a Compare template parameter and a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has a Container template parameter and a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has an Allocator template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has both Container and Allocator template parameters, and uses_­allocator_­v<Container, Allocator> is false.

22.6.5 Class template priority_­queue [priority.queue]

22.6.5.1 Overview [priqueue.overview]

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 and 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.
namespace std { template<class T, class Container = vector<T>, class Compare = less<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() : priority_queue(Compare()) {} explicit priority_queue(const Compare& x) : priority_queue(x, Container()) {} priority_queue(const Compare& x, const Container&); priority_queue(const Compare& x, Container&&); template<class InputIterator> priority_queue(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Compare& x, const Container&); template<class InputIterator> priority_queue(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Compare& x = Compare(), Container&& = Container()); template<class Alloc> explicit priority_queue(const Alloc&); template<class Alloc> priority_queue(const Compare&, const Alloc&); template<class Alloc> priority_queue(const Compare&, const Container&, const Alloc&); template<class Alloc> priority_queue(const Compare&, Container&&, const Alloc&); template<class Alloc> priority_queue(const priority_queue&, const Alloc&); template<class Alloc> priority_queue(priority_queue&&, const Alloc&); [[nodiscard]] 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...
