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

template< class... Args >
iterator emplace( Args&&... args );

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.

Parameters

Return value

Returns an iterator to the inserted element.

Exceptions

If an exception is thrown by any operation, this function has no effect (strong exception guarantee).

Complexity

Logarithmic in the size of the container.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
#include <string>
#include <map>
 
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");
 
    // 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';
    }
}

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