std::multiset<Key,Compare,Allocator>::merge

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | multiset
 
 
 
 
template< class C2 >
void merge( std::set<Key, C2, Allocator>& source );
(1) (since C++17)
template< class C2 >
void merge( std::set<Key, C2, Allocator>&& source );
(2) (since C++17)
template< class C2 >
void merge( std::multiset<Key, C2, Allocator>& source );
(3) (since C++17)
template< class C2 >
void merge( std::multiset<Key, C2, Allocator>&& source );
(4) (since C++17)

Attempts to extract ("splice") each element in source and insert it into *this using the comparison object of *this.

No elements are copied or moved, only the internal pointers of the container nodes are repointed. All pointers and references to the transferred elements remain valid, but now refer into *this, not into source.

The behavior is undefined if get_allocator() != source.get_allocator().

Contents

[edit] Parameters

source - compatible container to transfer the nodes from

[edit] Return value

(none)

Exceptions

Does not throw unless comparison throws.

[edit] Complexity

N * log(size() + N)), where N is source.size().

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <set>
 
// print out a container
template<class Os, class K>
Os& operator<<(Os& os, const std::multiset<K>& v)
{
    os << '[' << v.size() << "] {";
    bool o{};
    for (const auto& e : v)
        os << (o ? ", " : (o = 1, " ")) << e;
    return os << " }\n";
}
 
int main()
{
    std::multiset<char>
        p{'C', 'B', 'B', 'A'}, 
        q{'E', 'D', 'E', 'C'};
 
    std::cout << "p: " << p << "q: " << q;
 
    p.merge(q);
 
    std::cout << "p.merge(q);\n" << "p: " << p << "q: " << q;
}

Output:

p: [4] { A, B, B, C }
q: [4] { C, D, E, E }
p.merge(q);
p: [8] { A, B, B, C, C, D, E, E }
q: [0] { }
