std::multimap<Key,T,Compare,Allocator>::emplace

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | multimap
 
 
 
 
template< class... Args >
iterator emplace( Args&&... args );
(since C++11)

Inserts a new element into the container constructed in-place with the given args .

Careful use of emplace allows the new element to be constructed while avoiding unnecessary copy or move operations. The constructor of the new element (i.e. std::pair<const Key, T>) is called with exactly the same arguments as supplied to emplace, forwarded via std::forward<Args>(args)....

No iterators or references are invalidated.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

args - arguments to forward to the constructor of the element

[edit] Return value

An iterator to the inserted element.

[edit] Exceptions

If an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect (strong exception safety guarantee).

[edit] Complexity

Logarithmic in the size of the container.

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <map>
#include <utility>
 
int main()
{
    std::multimap<std::string, std::string> m;
 
    // uses pair's move constructor
    m.emplace(std::make_pair(std::string("a"), std::string("a")));
 
    // uses pair's converting move constructor
    m.emplace(std::make_pair("b", "abcd"));
 
    // uses pair's template constructor
    m.emplace("d", "ddd");
 
    // emplace with duplicate key 
    m.emplace("d", "DDD");
 
    // uses pair's piecewise constructor
    m.emplace(std::piecewise_construct,
              std::forward_as_tuple("c"),
              std::forward_as_tuple(10, 'c'));
 
 
    for (const auto& p : m)
        std::cout << p.first << " => " << p.second << '\n';
}

Output:

a => a
b => abcd
c => cccccccccc
d => ddd
d => DDD
