std::flat_map<Key,T,Compare,KeyContainer,MappedContainer>::emplace_hint - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| template< class... Args >iterator emplace_hint( const_iterator hint, Args&&... args ); | | (since C++23) (constexpr since C++26) | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------------------------------- |

Inserts a new element into the container as close as possible to the position just before hint.

The constructor of value_type (i.e., std::pair<const Key, T>) is called with exactly the same arguments as supplied to the function, forwarded with std::forward<Args>(args)....

[edit] Parameters

hint - iterator to the position before which the new element will be inserted
args - arguments to forward to the constructor of the element

[edit] Return value

An iterator to the inserted element, or to the element that prevented the insertion.

[edit] Exceptions

If an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect (strong exception safety guarantee).
