multimap::emplace

Article
11/19/2013

Inserts an element constructed in place (no copy or move operations are performed).

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

Parameters

Parameter	Description
args	The arguments forwarded to construct an element to be inserted into the multimap.

Return Value

An iterator to the newly inserted element.

Remarks

No references to container elements are invalidated by this function, but it may invalidate all iterators to the container.

If an exception is thrown during the insertion, the container is left unaltered and the exception is rethrown.

The value_type of an element is a pair, so that the value of an element will be an ordered pair with the first component equal to the key value and the second component equal to the data value of the element.

Example

// multimap_emplace.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

template <typename M> void print(const M& m) {
    cout << m.size() << " elements: " << endl;

    for (const auto& p : m) {
        cout << "(" << p.first <<  "," << p.second << ") ";
    }

    cout << endl;
}

int main()
{
    multimap<string, string> m1;

    m1.emplace("Anna", "Accounting");
    m1.emplace("Bob", "Accounting");
    m1.emplace("Carmine", "Engineering");

    cout << "multimap modified, now contains ";
    print(m1);
    cout << endl;

    m1.emplace("Bob", "Engineering");

    cout << "multimap modified, now contains ";
    print(m1);
    cout << endl;
}

Output

multimap modified, now contains 3 elements:
(Anna,Accounting) (Bob,Accounting) (Carmine,Engineering)

multimap modified, now contains 4 elements:
(Anna,Accounting) (Bob,Accounting) (Bob,Engineering) (Carmine,Engineering)
