_Vector_impl _M_impl

class std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >"A standard container which offers fixed time access to individual elements in any order.

Since

C++98

Template Parameters

Meets the requirements of a container, a reversible container, and a sequence, including the optional sequence requirements with the exception of push_front and pop_front.

In some terminology a vector can be described as a dynamic C-style array, it offers fast and efficient access to individual elements in any order and saves the user from worrying about memory and size allocation. Subscripting ( [] ) access is also provided as with C-style arrays.

Creates a vector with no elements.

Creates a vector with no elements.

Parameters

Creates a vector with default constructed elements.

Parameters

This constructor fills the vector with __n default constructed elements.

Creates a vector with copies of an exemplar element.

Parameters

This constructor fills the vector with __n copies of __value.

Vector copy constructor.

Parameters

All the elements of __x are copied, but any unused capacity in __x will not be copied (i.e. capacity() == size() in the new vector).

The newly-created vector uses a copy of the allocator object used by __x (unless the allocator traits dictate a different object).

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::begin(), and std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::end().

Vector move constructor. The newly-created vector contains the exact contents of the moved instance. The contents of the moved instance are a valid, but unspecified vector.

Copy constructor with alternative allocator.

Move constructor with alternative allocator.

Builds a vector from an initializer list.

Parameters

Create a vector consisting of copies of the elements in the initializer_list __l.

This will call the element type's copy constructor N times (where N is __l.size()) and do no memory reallocation.

Builds a vector from a range.

Parameters

Create a vector consisting of copies of the elements from [first,last).

If the iterators are forward, bidirectional, or random-access, then this will call the elements' copy constructor N times (where N is distance(first,last)) and do no memory reallocation. But if only input iterators are used, then this will do at most 2N calls to the copy constructor, and logN memory reallocations.

References std::__iterator_category().

The dtor only erases the elements, and note that if the elements themselves are pointers, the pointed-to memory is not touched in any way. Managing the pointer is the user's responsibility.

References std::_Destroy().

Memory expansion handler. Uses the member allocation function to obtain n bytes of memory, and then copies [first,last) into it.

Safety check used only from at().

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::size().

Referenced by std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::at(), and std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::at().

Assigns a range to a vector.

Parameters

This function fills a vector with copies of the elements in the range [__first,__last).

Note that the assignment completely changes the vector and that the resulting vector's size is the same as the number of elements assigned.

References std::__iterator_category().

Assigns an initializer list to a vector.

Parameters

This function fills a vector with copies of the elements in the initializer list __l.

Note that the assignment completely changes the vector and that the resulting vector's size is the same as the number of elements assigned.

Parameters

Returns

Read/write reference to data.

Exceptions

Parameters

Returns

An iterator that points to the inserted data.

This function will insert an object of type T constructed with T(std::forward<Args>(args)...) before the specified location. Note that this kind of operation could be expensive for a vector and if it is frequently used the user should consider using std::list.

Returns true if the vector is empty. (Thus begin() would equal end().)

Parameters

Returns

An iterator pointing to the element pointed to by __last prior to erasing (or end()).

This function will erase the elements in the range [__first,__last) and shorten the vector accordingly.

Note This operation could be expensive and if it is frequently used the user should consider using std::list. The user is also cautioned that this function only erases the elements, and that if the elements themselves are pointers, the pointed-to memory is not touched in any way. Managing the pointer is the user's responsibility.

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::begin(), and std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::cbegin().

This function will erase the element at the given position and thus shorten the vector by one.

Note This operation could be expensive and if it is frequently used the user should consider using std::list. The user is also cautioned that this function only erases the element, and that if the element is itself a pointer, the pointed-to memory is not touched in any way.

Parameters

This function will insert copies of the data in the initializer_list l into the vector before the location specified by position.

Note that this kind of operation could be expensive for a vector and if it is frequently used the user should consider using std::list.

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::begin(), and std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::cbegin().

Inserts a number of copies of given data into the vector.

Parameters

Returns

An iterator that points to the inserted data.

This function will insert a specified number of copies of the given data before the location specified by position.

Parameters

All the elements of __x are copied, but any unused capacity in __x will not be copied.

Whether the allocator is copied depends on the allocator traits.

References std::__addressof(), std::_Destroy(), std::begin(), std::end(), and std::size().

Vector list assignment operator.

Parameters

This function fills a vector with copies of the elements in the initializer list __l.

Note that the assignment completely changes the vector and that the resulting vector's size is the same as the number of elements assigned.

Vector move assignment operator.

Parameters

The contents of __x are moved into this vector (without copying, if the allocators permit it). Afterwards __x is a valid, but unspecified vector.

Whether the allocator is moved depends on the allocator traits.

References std::move().

Subscript access to the data contained in the vector.

Parameters

Returns

Read-only (constant) reference to data.

This operator allows for easy, array-style, data access. Note that data access with this operator is unchecked and out_of_range lookups are not defined. (For checked lookups see at().)

Subscript access to the data contained in the vector.

Parameters

Returns

Read/write reference to data.

This operator allows for easy, array-style, data access. Note that data access with this operator is unchecked and out_of_range lookups are not defined. (For checked lookups see at().)

Removes last element. This is a typical stack operation. It shrinks the vector by one.

Note that no data is returned, and if the last element's data is needed, it should be retrieved before pop_back() is called.

Add data to the end of the vector.

Parameters

This is a typical stack operation. The function creates an element at the end of the vector and assigns the given data to it. Due to the nature of a vector this operation can be done in constant time if the vector has preallocated space available.

Returns a read-only (constant) reverse iterator that points to the last element in the vector. Iteration is done in reverse element order.

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::end().

Returns a read/write reverse iterator that points to the last element in the vector. Iteration is done in reverse element order.

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::end().

Returns a read-only (constant) reverse iterator that points to one before the first element in the vector. Iteration is done in reverse element order.

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::begin().

Returns a read/write reverse iterator that points to one before the first element in the vector. Iteration is done in reverse element order.

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::begin().

Attempt to preallocate enough memory for specified number of elements.

Parameters

Exceptions

std::length_error If n exceeds max_size().

This function attempts to reserve enough memory for the vector to hold the specified number of elements. If the number requested is more than max_size(), length_error is thrown.

The advantage of this function is that if optimal code is a necessity and the user can determine the number of elements that will be required, the user can reserve the memory in advance, and thus prevent a possible reallocation of memory and copying of vector data.

References std::_Destroy(), and std::size().

Resizes the vector to the specified number of elements.

Parameters

This function will resize the vector to the specified number of elements. If the number is smaller than the vector's current size the vector is truncated, otherwise default constructed elements are appended.

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::size().

Resizes the vector to the specified number of elements.

Parameters

This function will resize the vector to the specified number of elements. If the number is smaller than the vector's current size the vector is truncated, otherwise the vector is extended and new elements are populated with given data.

References std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::end(), and std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::size().

A non-binding request to reduce capacity() to size().

Returns the number of elements in the vector.

Referenced by std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::_M_range_check(), std::discrete_distribution< _IntType >::max(), std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::resize(), and std::vector< _Tp, _Alloc >::resize().

Swaps data with another vector.

Parameters

This exchanges the elements between two vectors in constant time. (Three pointers, so it should be quite fast.) Note that the global std::swap() function is specialized such that std::swap(v1,v2) will feed to this function.

Whether the allocators are swapped depends on the allocator traits.
