std::forward_list<T,Allocator>::before_begin,cbefore_begin: std::forward_list<T,Allocator>::before_begin,cbefore_begin
NAME
std::forward_list<T,Allocator>::before_begin,cbefore_begin - std::forward_list<T,Allocator>::before_begin,cbefore_begin
Synopsis
iterator before_begin() noexcept; (since C++11)
const_iterator before_begin() const noexcept; (since C++11)
const_iterator cbefore_begin() const noexcept; (since C++11)
Returns an iterator to the element before the first element of the container. This element acts as a placeholder, attempting to access it results in undefined behavior. The only usage cases are in functions insert_after(), emplace_after(), erase_after(), splice_after() and the increment operator: incrementing the before-begin iterator gives exactly the same iterator as obtained from begin()/cbegin().
Parameters
(none)
Return value
Iterator to the element before the first element.
Complexity
Constant.
