Removes all elements satisfying specific criteria.
Removes all elements that are equal to value (using operator==).
Removes all elements for which predicate p returns true.
Invalidates only the iterators and references to the removed elements.

[edit] Parameters
| value | - | value of the elements to remove |
|---|---|---|
| p | - | unary predicate which returns true if the element should be removed. The expression p(v) must be convertible to bool for every argument v of type (possibly const) T, regardless of value category, and must not modify v. Thus, a parameter type of T&is not allowed, nor is T unless for T a move is equivalent to a copy(since C++11). |
| Type requirements | ||
| -UnaryPred must meet the requirements of Predicate. |
[edit] Return value
| (none) | (until C++20) |
|---|---|
| The number of elements removed. | (since C++20) |
[edit] Complexity
Given \(\scriptsize N\)N as std::distance(begin(), end()):
Exactly \(\scriptsize N\)N comparisons using operator==.
Exactly \(\scriptsize N\)N applications of the predicate p.

[edit] Example
#include #include int main() { std::list l = {1, 100, 2, 3, 10, 1, 11, -1, 12}; auto count1 = l.remove(1); std::cout << count1 << " elements equal to 1 were removed\n"; auto count2 = l.remove_if([](int n){ return n > 10; }); std::cout << count2 << " elements greater than 10 were removed\n"; std::cout << "Finally, the list contains: "; for (int n : l) std::cout << n << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; }
Output:
2 elements equal to 1 were removed 3 elements greater than 10 were removed Finally, the list contains: 2 3 10 -1
Defect reports
The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
| DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| LWG 1207 | C++98 | it was unclear whether iteratorsand/or references will be invalidated | only invalidates iterators andreferences to the removed elements |
