std::stack<T,Container>::emplace

template< class... Args > void emplace( Args&&... args );		(since C++11) (until C++17)
template< class... Args > decltype(auto) emplace( Args&&... args );		(since C++17)

Pushes a new element on top of the stack. The element is constructed in-place, i.e. no copy or move operations are performed. The constructor of the element is called with exactly the same arguments as supplied to the function.

Effectively calls c.emplace_back(std::forward<Args>(args)...);

Parameters

args

arguments to forward to the constructor of the element

Return value

(none)	(until C++17)
The value or reference, if any, returned by the above call to `Container::emplace_back`.	(since C++17)

Complexity

Identical to the complexity of Container::emplace_back.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <stack>
 
struct S
{
    int id;
 
    S(int i, double d, std::string s) : id{i}
    {
        std::cout << "S::S(" << i << ", " << d << ", \"" << s << "\");\n";
    }
};
 
int main()
{
    std::stack<S> adaptor;
 
    const S& s = adaptor.emplace(42, 3.14, "C++"); // for return value C++17 required
 
    std::cout << "id = " << s.id << '\n';
}

Output:

S::S(42, 3.14, "C++")
id = 42
