reference emplace_back( Args&&... args );
Appends a new element to the end of the container. The element is constructed through std::allocator_traits::construct, which typically uses placement new to construct the element in-place at the location provided by the container. The arguments args... are forwarded to the constructor as std::forward<Args>(args)....
If after the operation the new size()
is greater than old capacity()
a reallocation takes place, in which case all iterators (including the end()
iterator) and all references to the elements are invalidated. Otherwise only the end()
iterator is invalidated.
T
is not EmplaceConstructible into vector
from args....T
is not MoveInsertable into vector
.(none)
(until C++17)A reference to the inserted element.
(since C++17) [edit] ComplexityAmortized constant.
[edit] ExceptionsIf an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect (strong exception safety guarantee). If the move constructor of T
is not noexcept and is not CopyInsertable into *this, vector
will use the throwing move constructor. If it throws, the guarantee is waived and the effects are unspecified.
Since reallocation may take place, emplace_back
requires the element type to be MoveInsertable for vector
.
The following code uses emplace_back
to append an object of type President
to a std::vector. It demonstrates how emplace_back
forwards parameters to the President
constructor and shows how using emplace_back
avoids the extra copy or move operation required when using push_back.
#include <vector> #include <cassert> #include <iostream> #include <string> struct President { std::string name; std::string country; int year; President(std::string p_name, std::string p_country, int p_year) : name(std::move(p_name)), country(std::move(p_country)), year(p_year) { std::cout << "I am being constructed.\n"; } President(President&& other) : name(std::move(other.name)), country(std::move(other.country)), year(other.year) { std::cout << "I am being moved.\n"; } President& operator=(const President& other) = default; }; int main() { std::vector<President> elections; std::cout << "emplace_back:\n"; auto& ref = elections.emplace_back("Nelson Mandela", "South Africa", 1994); assert(ref.year == 1994 && "uses a reference to the created object (C++17)"); std::vector<President> reElections; std::cout << "\npush_back:\n"; reElections.push_back(President("Franklin Delano Roosevelt", "the USA", 1936)); std::cout << "\nContents:\n"; for (const President& president: elections) std::cout << president.name << " was elected president of " << president.country << " in " << president.year << ".\n"; for (const President& president: reElections) std::cout << president.name << " was re-elected president of " << president.country << " in " << president.year << ".\n"; }
Output:
emplace_back: I am being constructed. push_back: I am being constructed. I am being moved. Contents: Nelson Mandela was elected president of South Africa in 1994. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was re-elected president of the USA in 1936.[edit] See also adds an element to the end
