NAME

std::list<T,Allocator>::list - std::list<T,Allocator>::list

Synopsis


list(); (1)
explicit list( const Allocator& alloc );
explicit list( size_type count,
const T& value = T(), (until C++11)
const Allocator& alloc = Allocator());
list( size_type count,
const T& value, (since C++11)
const Allocator& alloc = Allocator());
explicit list( size_type count ); (since C++11)
                                                                                              (until C++14)
explicit list( size_type count, const Allocator& alloc = Allocator() ); (2) (since C++14)
template< class InputIt >
list( InputIt first, InputIt last, (4)
const Allocator& alloc = Allocator() ); (3)
list( const list& other ); (5)
list( const list& other, const Allocator& alloc ); (5) (since C++11)
list( list&& other ); (6) (since C++11)
list( list&& other, const Allocator& alloc ); (7) (since C++11)
list( std::initializer_list<T> init, (8) (since C++11)
const Allocator& alloc = Allocator() );


Constructs a new container from a variety of data sources, optionally using a user supplied allocator alloc.
1) Default constructor. Constructs an empty container. If no allocator is supplied, allocator is obtained from a default-constructed instance.
2) Constructs the container with count copies of elements with value value.
3) Constructs the container with count default-inserted instances of T. No copies are made.
4) Constructs the container with the contents of the range [first, last).


This constructor has the same effect as list(static_cast<size_type>(first), static_cast<value_type>(last), a) if InputIt is an integral type. (until C++11)
This overload only participates in overload resolution if InputIt satisfies LegacyInputIterator, to avoid ambiguity with the overload (2). (since C++11)


5) Copy constructor. Constructs the container with the copy of the contents of other. If alloc is not provided, allocator is obtained as if by calling std::allocator_traits<allocator_type>::select_on_container_copy_construction(other.get_allocator()).
6) Move constructor. Constructs the container with the contents of other using move semantics. Allocator is obtained by move-construction from the allocator belonging to other.
7) Allocator-extended move constructor. Using alloc as the allocator for the new container, moving the contents from other; if alloc != other.get_allocator(), this results in an element-wise move.
8) Constructs the container with the contents of the initializer list init.

Parameters


alloc - allocator to use for all memory allocations of this container
count - the size of the container
value - the value to initialize elements of the container with
first, last - the range to copy the elements from
other - another container to be used as source to initialize the elements of the container with
init - initializer list to initialize the elements of the container with

Complexity


1) Constant
2-3) Linear in count
4) Linear in distance between first and last
5) Linear in size of other
6) Constant.
7) Linear if alloc != other.get_allocator(), otherwise constant.
8) Linear in size of init.

Exceptions


Calls to Allocator::allocate may throw.

Notes


After container move construction (overload (6)), references, pointers, and iterators (other than the end iterator) to other remain valid, but refer to elements that are now in *this. The current standard makes this guarantee via the blanket statement in ยง23.2.1[container.requirements.general]/12, and a more direct guarantee is under consideration via LWG_2321.

Example


// Run this code


  #include <list>
  #include <string>
  #include <iostream>


  template<typename T>
  std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& s, const std::list<T>& v) {
      s.put('[');
      char comma[3] = {'\0', ' ', '\0'};
      for (const auto& e : v) {
          s << comma << e;
          comma[0] = ',';
      }
      return s << ']';
  }


  int main()
  {
      // c++11 initializer list syntax:
      std::list<std::string> words1 {"the", "frogurt", "is", "also", "cursed"};
      std::cout << "words1: " << words1 << '\n';


      // words2 == words1
      std::list<std::string> words2(words1.begin(), words1.end());
      std::cout << "words2: " << words2 << '\n';


      // words3 == words1
      std::list<std::string> words3(words1);
      std::cout << "words3: " << words3 << '\n';


      // words4 is {"Mo", "Mo", "Mo", "Mo", "Mo"}
      std::list<std::string> words4(5, "Mo");
      std::cout << "words4: " << words4 << '\n';
  }

Output:


  words1: [the, frogurt, is, also, cursed]
  words2: [the, frogurt, is, also, cursed]
  words3: [the, frogurt, is, also, cursed]
  words4: [Mo, Mo, Mo, Mo, Mo]
