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

template< class... Args > std::pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace( const key_type& k, Args&&... args ); (1) (since C++23)
template< class... Args > std::pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace( key_type&& k, Args&&... args ); (2) (since C++23)
template< class K, class... Args > std::pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace( K&& k, Args&&... args ); (3) (since C++23)
template< class... Args >iterator try_emplace( const_iterator hint, const key_type& k, Args&&... args ); (4) (since C++23)
template< class... Args >iterator try_emplace( const_iterator hint, key_type&& k, Args&&... args ); (5) (since C++23)
template< class K, class... Args >iterator try_emplace( const_iterator hint, K&& k, Args&&... args ); (6) (since C++23)

If a key equivalent to k already exists in the container, does nothing. Otherwise, inserts a new element into the underlying containers c with key k and value constructed with args.

The conversion from k into key_type must construct an object u, for which find(k) == find(u) is true. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.

[edit] Parameters

k - the key used both to look up and to insert if not found
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

[edit] Complexity

[edit] Notes

Unlike insert or emplace, these functions do not move from rvalue arguments if the insertion does not happen, which makes it easy to manipulate maps whose values are move-only types, such as std::flat_map<std::string, std::unique_ptr<foo>>. In addition, try_emplace treats the key and the arguments to the mapped_type separately, unlike emplace, which requires the arguments to construct a value_type (that is, a std::pair).

Overloads (3,6) can be called without constructing an object of type key_type.

[edit] Example

#include #include #include #include   void print_node(const auto& node) { std::cout << '[' << node.first << "] = " << node.second << '\n'; }   void print_result(auto const& pair) { std::cout << (pair.second ? "inserted: " : "ignored: "); print_node(*pair.first); }   int main() { using namespace std::literals; std::map<std::string, std::string> m;   print_result(m.try_emplace( "a", "a"s)); print_result(m.try_emplace( "b", "abcd")); print_result(m.try_emplace( "c", 10, 'c')); print_result(m.try_emplace( "c", "Won't be inserted"));   for (const auto& p : m) print_node(p); }

Output:

inserted: [a] = a inserted: [b] = abcd inserted: [c] = cccccccccc ignored: [c] = cccccccccc [a] = a [b] = abcd [c] = cccccccccc
