24 Containers library [containers]

24.6 Container adaptors [container.adaptors]

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.
