std::list<T,Allocator>::resize - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

void resize( size_type count ); (1) (constexpr since C++26)
void resize( size_type count, const value_type& value ); (2) (constexpr since C++26)

Resizes the container to contain count elements:

  1. Additional copies of T()(until C++11)default-inserted elements(since C++11) are appended.

  2. Additional copies of value are appended.

[edit] Parameters

count - new size of the container
value - the value to initialize the new elements with
Type requirements
- If the following condition is satisfied, the behavior is undefined: (since C++11)

[edit] Complexity

Linear in the difference between the current size and count.

Notes

If value-initialization in overload (1) is undesirable, for example, if the elements are of non-class type and zeroing out is not needed, it can be avoided by providing a custom Allocator::construct.

[edit] Example

#include #include   void print(auto rem, const std::list& c) { for (std::cout << rem; const int el : c) std::cout << el << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; }   int main() { std::list c = {1, 2, 3}; print("The list holds: ", c);   c.resize(5); print("After resize up to 5: ", c);   c.resize(2); print("After resize down to 2: ", c);   c.resize(6, 4); print("After resize up to 6 (initializer = 4): ", c); }

Output:

The list holds: 1 2 3 After resize up to 5: 1 2 3 0 0 After resize down to 2: 1 2 After resize up to 6 (initializer = 4): 1 2 4 4 4 4

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 132 C++98 random-access iterators were used to determine the erase range use bidirectional iterators
LWG 679 C++98 resize() passed value by value passes by const reference
LWG 1420 C++98 the behavior of resize(size()) was not specified specified
