24.6 Container adaptors [container.adaptors]

24.6.1 In general [container.adaptors.general]

The headers <queue>, <stack>, <flat_map>, and <flat_set> define the container adaptors queue and priority_queue, stack, flat_map and flat_multimap, and flat_set and flat_multiset, respectively.
Each container adaptor takes one or more template parameters named Container, KeyContainer, or MappedContainer that denote the types of containers that the container adaptor adapts.
Each container adaptor has at least one constructor that takes a reference argument to one or more such template parameters.
For each constructor reference argument to a container C, the constructor copies the container into the container adaptor.
If C 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.
For the container adaptors that take a single container template parameter Container, the first template parameter T of the container adaptor 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, KeyContainer, MappedContainer, or Compare object (if any).
A constructor template of a container adaptor shall not participate in overload resolution if it has an InputIterator template parameter and a type that does not qualify as an input iterator is deduced for that parameter.
For container adaptors that have them, the insert, emplace, and erase members affect the validity of iterators, references, and pointers to the adaptor's container(s) in the same way that the containers' respective insert, emplace, and erase members do.
[Example 1: 
A call to flat_map<Key, T>​::​insert can invalidate all iterators to the flat_map.
— end example]
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, KeyContainer, or MappedContainer template parameter and a type that qualifies as an allocator is deduced for that parameter.
  • It has no Container, KeyContainer, or MappedContainer template parameter, and 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.
  • It has both KeyContainer and Allocator template parameters, and uses_allocator_v<KeyContainer, Allocator> is false.
  • It has both KeyContainer and Compare template parameters, and is_invocable_v<const Compare&, const typename KeyContainer::value_type&, const typename KeyContainer::value_type&> is not a valid expression or is false.
  • It has both MappedContainer and Allocator template parameters, and uses_allocator_v<MappedContainer, Allocator> is false.
The exposition-only alias template iter-value-type defined in [sequences.general] and the exposition-only alias templates iter-key-type, iter-mapped-type, range-key-type, and range-mapped-type defined in [associative.general] may appear in deduction guides for container adaptors.
The following exposition-only alias template may appear in deduction guides for container adaptors: template<class Allocator, class T> using alloc-rebind = // exposition only typename allocator_traits<Allocator>::template rebind_alloc<T>;

24.6.7 Class template priority_queue [priority.queue]

24.6.7.1 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.

24.6.9 Class template flat_map [flat.map]

24.6.9.1 Overview [flat.map.overview]

A flat_map is a container adaptor that provides an associative container interface that supports unique keys (i.e., contains at most one of each key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys.
flat_map supports iterators that meet the Cpp17InputIterator requirements and model the random_access_iterator concept ([iterator.concept.random.access]).
A flat_map meets all of the requirements of a container ([container.reqmts]) and of a reversible container ([container.rev.reqmts]), plus the optional container requirements ([container.opt.reqmts]).
flat_map meets the requirements of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]), except that:
  • it does not meet the requirements related to node handles ([container.node]),
  • it does not meet the requirements related to iterator invalidation, and
  • the time complexity of the operations that insert or erase a single element from the map is linear, including the ones that take an insertion position iterator.
[Note 1: 
A flat_map does not meet the additional requirements of an allocator-aware container ([container.alloc.reqmts]).
— end note]
A flat_map also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for unique keys.
This means that a flat_map supports the a_uniq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_eq operations.
For a flat_map<Key, T> the key_type is Key and the value_type is pair<Key, T>.
Descriptions are provided here only for operations on flat_map that are not described in one of those sets of requirements or for operations where there is additional semantic information.
A flat_map maintains the following invariants:
  • it contains the same number of keys and values;
  • the keys are sorted with respect to the comparison object; and
  • the value at offset off within the value container is the value associated with the key at offset off within the key container.
If any member function in [flat.map.defn] exits via an exception the invariants are restored.
[Note 2: 
This can result in the flat_map being emptied.
— end note]
Any type C that meets the sequence container requirements ([sequence.reqmts]) can be used to instantiate flat_map, as long as C​::​iterator meets the Cpp17RandomAccessIterator requirements and invocations of member functions C​::​size and C​::​max_size do not exit via an exception.
In particular, vector ([vector]) and deque ([deque]) can be used.
[Note 3: 
vector<bool> is not a sequence container.
— end note]
The program is ill-formed if Key is not the same type as KeyContainer​::​value_type or T is not the same type as MappedContainer​::​value_type.
The effect of calling a constructor that takes both key_container_type and mapped_container_type arguments with containers of different sizes is undefined.
The effect of calling a constructor or member function that takes a sorted_unique_t argument with a container, containers, or range that is not sorted with respect to key_comp(), or that contains equal elements, is undefined.

Constraints: is_constructible_v<pair<key_type, mapped_type>, Args...> is true.
Effects: Initializes an object t of type pair<key_type, mapped_type> with std​::​forward<Args>(
args)...
; if the map already contains an element whose key is equivalent to t.first, *this is unchanged.
Otherwise, equivalent to: auto key_it = ranges::upper_bound(c.keys, t.first, compare); auto value_it = c.values.begin() + distance(c.keys.begin(), key_it); c.keys.insert(key_it, std::move(t.first)); c.values.insert(value_it, std::move(t.second));
Returns: The bool component of the returned pair is true if and only if the insertion took place, and the iterator component of the pair points to the element with key equivalent to t.first.
template<class P> pair<iterator, bool> insert(P&& x); template<class P> iterator insert(const_iterator position, P&& x);
Constraints: is_constructible_v<pair<key_type, mapped_type>, P> is true.
Effects: The first form is equivalent to return emplace(std​::​forward<P>(x));.
The second form is equivalent to return emplace_hint(position, std​::​forward<P>(x));.
template<class InputIterator> void insert(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
Effects: Adds elements to c as if by: for (; first != last; ++first) { value_type value = *first; c.keys.insert(c.keys.end(), std::move(value.first)); c.values.insert(c.values.end(), std::move(value.second)); }
Then, sorts the range of newly inserted elements with respect to value_comp(); merges the resulting sorted range and the sorted range of pre-existing elements into a single sorted range; and finally erases the duplicate elements as if by: auto zv = ranges::zip_view(c.keys, c.values); auto it = ranges::unique(zv, key_equiv(compare)).begin(); auto dist = distance(zv.begin(), it); c.keys.erase(c.keys.begin() + dist, c.keys.end()); c.values.erase(c.values.begin() + dist, c.values.end());
Complexity: N + , where N is size() before the operation and M is distance(first, last).
Remarks: Since this operation performs an in-place merge, it may allocate memory.
template<class InputIterator> void insert(sorted_unique_t, InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
Effects: Adds elements to c as if by: for (; first != last; ++first) { value_type value = *first; c.keys.insert(c.keys.end(), std::move(value.first)); c.values.insert(c.values.end(), std::move(value.second)); }
Then, merges the sorted range of newly added elements and the sorted range of pre-existing elements into a single sorted range; and finally erases the duplicate elements as if by: auto zv = ranges::zip_view(c.keys, c.values); auto it = ranges::unique(zv, key_equiv(compare)).begin(); auto dist = distance(zv.begin(), it); c.keys.erase(c.keys.begin() + dist, c.keys.end()); c.values.erase(c.values.begin() + dist, c.values.end());
Complexity: Linear in N, where N is size() after the operation.
Remarks: Since this operation performs an in-place merge, it may allocate memory.
template<container-compatible-range<value_type> R> void insert_range(R&& rg);
Effects: Adds elements to c as if by: for (const auto& e : rg) { c.keys.insert(c.keys.end(), e.first); c.values.insert(c.values.end(), e.second); }
Then, sorts the range of newly inserted elements with respect to value_comp(); merges the resulting sorted range and the sorted range of pre-existing elements into a single sorted range; and finally erases the duplicate elements as if by: auto zv = ranges::zip_view(c.keys, c.values); auto it = ranges::unique(zv, key_equiv(compare)).begin(); auto dist = distance(zv.begin(), it); c.keys.erase(c.keys.begin() + dist, c.keys.end()); c.values.erase(c.values.begin() + dist, c.values.end());
Complexity: N + , where N is size() before the operation and M is ranges​::​distance(rg).
Remarks: Since this operation performs an in-place merge, it may allocate memory.

24.6.10 Class template flat_multimap [flat.multimap]

24.6.10.1 Overview [flat.multimap.overview]

A flat_multimap is a container adaptor that provides an associative container interface that supports equivalent keys (i.e., possibly containing multiple copies of the same key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys.
flat_multimap supports iterators that meet the Cpp17InputIterator requirements and model the random_access_iterator concept ([iterator.concept.random.access]).
A flat_multimap meets all of the requirements for a container ([container.reqmts]) and for a reversible container ([container.rev.reqmts]), plus the optional container requirements ([container.opt.reqmts]).
flat_multimap meets the requirements of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]), except that:
  • it does not meet the requirements related to node handles ([container.node]),
  • it does not meet the requirements related to iterator invalidation, and
  • the time complexity of the operations that insert or erase a single element from the map is linear, including the ones that take an insertion position iterator.
[Note 1: 
A flat_multimap does not meet the additional requirements of an allocator-aware container ([container.alloc.reqmts]).
— end note]
A flat_multimap also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for equal keys.
This means that a flat_multimap supports the a_eq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_uniq operations.
For a flat_multimap<Key, T> the key_type is Key and the value_type is pair<Key, T>.
Except as otherwise noted, operations on flat_multimap are equivalent to those of flat_map, except that flat_multimap operations do not remove or replace elements with equal keys.
[Example 1: 
flat_multimap constructors and emplace do not erase non-unique elements after sorting them.
— end example]
A flat_multimap maintains the following invariants:
  • it contains the same number of keys and values;
  • the keys are sorted with respect to the comparison object; and
  • the value at offset off within the value container is the value associated with the key at offset off within the key container.
If any member function in [flat.multimap.defn] exits via an exception, the invariants are restored.
[Note 2: 
This can result in the flat_multimap being emptied.
— end note]
Any type C that meets the sequence container requirements ([sequence.reqmts]) can be used to instantiate flat_multimap, as long as C​::​iterator meets the Cpp17RandomAccessIterator requirements and invocations of member functions C​::​size and C​::​max_size do not exit via an exception.
In particular, vector ([vector]) and deque ([deque]) can be used.
[Note 3: 
vector<bool> is not a sequence container.
— end note]
The program is ill-formed if Key is not the same type as KeyContainer​::​value_type or T is not the same type as MappedContainer​::​value_type.
The effect of calling a constructor that takes both key_container_type and mapped_container_type arguments with containers of different sizes is undefined.
The effect of calling a constructor or member function that takes a sorted_equivalent_t argument with a container, containers, or range that are not sorted with respect to key_comp() is undefined.

Preconditions: Key and T meet the Cpp17MoveAssignable requirements.
Effects: Let E be bool(pred(pair<const Key&, const T&>(e))).
Erases all elements e in c for which E holds.
Returns: The number of elements erased.
Complexity: Exactly c.size() applications of the predicate.
Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]).
If an invocation of erase_if exits via an exception, c is in a valid but unspecified state ([defns.valid]).

24.6.11 Class template flat_set [flat.set]

24.6.11.1 Overview [flat.set.overview]

A flat_set is a container adaptor that provides an associative container interface that supports unique keys (i.e., contains at most one of each key value) and provides for fast retrieval of the keys themselves.
flat_set supports iterators that model the random_access_iterator concept ([iterator.concept.random.access]).
A flat_set meets all of the requirements for a container ([container.reqmts]) and for a reversible container ([container.rev.reqmts]), plus the optional container requirements ([container.opt.reqmts]).
flat_set meets the requirements of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]), except that:
  • it does not meet the requirements related to node handles ([container.node.overview]),
  • it does not meet the requirements related to iterator invalidation, and
  • the time complexity of the operations that insert or erase a single element from the set is linear, including the ones that take an insertion position iterator.
[Note 1: 
A flat_set does not meet the additional requirements of an allocator-aware container, as described in [container.alloc.reqmts].
— end note]
A flat_set also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for unique keys.
This means that a flat_set supports the a_uniq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_eq operations.
For a flat_set<Key>, both the key_type and value_type are Key.
Descriptions are provided here only for operations on flat_set that are not described in one of those sets of requirements or for operations where there is additional semantic information.
A flat_set maintains the invariant that the keys are sorted with respect to the comparison object.
If any member function in [flat.set.defn] exits via an exception, the invariant is restored.
[Note 2: 
This can result in the flat_set's being emptied.
— end note]
Any sequence container ([sequence.reqmts]) supporting Cpp17RandomAccessIterator can be used to instantiate flat_set.
In particular, vector ([vector]) and deque ([deque]) can be used.
[Note 3: 
vector<bool> is not a sequence container.
— end note]
The program is ill-formed if Key is not the same type as KeyContainer​::​value_type.
The effect of calling a constructor or member function that takes a sorted_unique_t argument with a range that is not sorted with respect to key_comp(), or that contains equal elements, is undefined.

24.6.12.3 Constructors [flat.multiset.cons]

explicit flat_multiset(container_type cont, const key_compare& comp = key_compare());
Effects: Initializes c with std​::​move(cont) and compare with comp, and sorts the range [begin(), end()) with respect to compare.
Complexity: Linear in N if cont is sorted with respect to compare and otherwise , where N is the value of cont.size() before this call.
template<class Allocator> flat_multiset(const container_type& cont, const Allocator& a); template<class Allocator> flat_multiset(const container_type& cont, const key_compare& comp, const Allocator& a);
Constraints: uses_allocator_v<container_type, Allocator> is true.
Effects: Equivalent to flat_multiset(cont) and flat_multiset(cont, comp), respectively, except that c is constructed with uses-allocator construction ([allocator.uses.construction]).
Complexity: Same as flat_multiset(cont) and flat_multiset(cont, comp), respectively.
template<class Allocator> flat_multiset(sorted_equivalent_t s, const container_type& cont, const Allocator& a); template<class Allocator> flat_multiset(sorted_equivalent_t s, const container_type& cont, const key_compare& comp, const Allocator& a);
Constraints: uses_allocator_v<container_type, Allocator> is true.
Effects: Equivalent to flat_multiset(s, cont) and flat_multiset(s, cont, comp), respectively, except that c is constructed with uses-allocator construction ([allocator.uses.construction]).
Complexity: Linear.
template<class Allocator> flat_multiset(const key_compare& comp, const Allocator& a); template<class Allocator> explicit flat_multiset(const Allocator& a); template<class InputIterator, class Allocator> flat_multiset(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const key_compare& comp, const Allocator& a); template<class InputIterator, class Allocator> flat_multiset(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& a); template<container-compatible-range<value_type> R, class Allocator> flat_multiset(from_range_t, R&& rg, const Allocator& a); template<container-compatible-range<value_type> R, class Allocator> flat_multiset(from_range_t, R&& rg, const key_compare& comp, const Allocator& a); template<class InputIterator, class Allocator> flat_multiset(sorted_equivalent_t, InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const key_compare& comp, const Allocator& a); template<class InputIterator, class Allocator> flat_multiset(sorted_equivalent_t, InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Allocator& a); template<class Allocator> flat_multiset(initializer_list<value_type> il, const key_compare& comp, const Allocator& a); template<class Allocator> flat_multiset(initializer_list<value_type> il, const Allocator& a); template<class Allocator> flat_multiset(sorted_equivalent_t, initializer_list<value_type> il, const key_compare& comp, const Allocator& a); template<class Allocator> flat_multiset(sorted_equivalent_t, initializer_list<value_type> il, const Allocator& a);
Constraints: uses_allocator_v<container_type, Allocator> is true.
Effects: Equivalent to the corresponding non-allocator constructors except that c is constructed with uses-allocator construction ([allocator.uses.construction]).

24.6.12.4 Modifiers [flat.multiset.modifiers]

template<class... Args> iterator emplace(Args&&... args);
Constraints: is_constructible_v<value_type, Args...> is true.
Effects: First, initializes an object t of type value_type with std​::​forward<Args>(args)..., then inserts t as if by: auto it = ranges::upper_bound(c, t, compare); c.insert(it, std::move(t));
Returns: An iterator that points to the inserted element.
template<class InputIterator> void insert(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
Effects: Adds elements to c as if by: c.insert(c.end(), first, last);
Then, sorts the range of newly inserted elements with respect to compare, and merges the resulting sorted range and the sorted range of pre-existing elements into a single sorted range.
Complexity: N + , where N is size() before the operation and M is distance(first, last).
Remarks: Since this operation performs an in-place merge, it may allocate memory.
template<class InputIterator> void insert(sorted_equivalent_t, InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
Effects: Equivalent to insert(first, last).
Complexity: Linear.
void swap(flat_multiset& y) noexcept;
Effects: Equivalent to: ranges::swap(compare, y.compare); ranges::swap(c, y.c);
container_type extract() &&;
Postconditions: *this is emptied, even if the function exits via an exception.
Returns: std​::​move(c).
void replace(container_type&& cont);
Preconditions: The elements of cont are sorted with respect to compare.
Effects: Equivalent to: c = std​::​move(cont);

24.6.12.5 Erasure [flat.multiset.erasure]

template<class Key, class Compare, class KeyContainer, class Predicate> typename flat_multiset<Key, Compare, KeyContainer>::size_type erase_if(flat_multiset<Key, Compare, KeyContainer>& c, Predicate pred);
Preconditions: Key meets the Cpp17MoveAssignable requirements.
Effects: Let E be bool(pred(as_const(e))).
Erases all elements e in c for which E holds.
Returns: The number of elements erased.
Complexity: Exactly c.size() applications of the predicate.
Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]).
If an invocation of erase_if exits via an exception, c is in a valid but unspecified state ([defns.valid]).
[Note 1: 
c still meets its invariants, but can be empty.

24.6.13 Container adaptors formatting [container.adaptors.format]

For each of queue, priority_queue, and stack, the library provides the following formatter specialization where adaptor-type is the name of the template:
namespace std { template<class charT, class T, formattable<charT> Container, class... U> struct formatter<adaptor-type<T, Container, U...>, charT> { private: using maybe-const-container = // exposition only fmt-maybe-const<Container, charT>; using maybe-const-adaptor = // exposition only maybe-const<is_const_v<maybe-const-container>, // see [ranges.syn] adaptor-type<T, Container, U...>>; formatter<ranges::ref_view<maybe-const-container>, charT> underlying_; // exposition only public: template<class ParseContext> constexpr typename ParseContext::iterator parse(ParseContext& ctx); template<class FormatContext> typename FormatContext::iterator format(maybe-const-adaptor& r, FormatContext& ctx) const; }; }
template<class ParseContext> constexpr typename ParseContext::iterator parse(ParseContext& ctx);
Effects: Equivalent to: return underlying_.parse(ctx);
template<class FormatContext> typename FormatContext::iterator format(maybe-const-adaptor& r, FormatContext& ctx) const;
Effects: Equivalent to: return underlying_.format(r.c, ctx);
