NAME

std::vector::push_back - std::vector::push_back

Synopsis

void push_back( const T& value ); (until C++20)
constexpr void push_back( const T& value ); (since C++20)
void push_back( T&& value ); (1) (since C++11)
(2) (until C++20)
constexpr void push_back( T&& value ); (since C++20)

Appends the given element value to the end of the container.

1) The new element is initialized as a copy of value.
2) value is moved into the new element.

If the new size() is greater than capacity() then all iterators and references
(including the past-the-end iterator) are invalidated. Otherwise only the
past-the-end iterator is invalidated.

Parameters

value - the value of the element to append

Type requirements

-
T must meet the requirements of CopyInsertable in order to use overload (1).
-
T must meet the requirements of MoveInsertable in order to use overload (2).

Return value

(none)

Complexity

Amortized constant.

Exceptions

If an exception is thrown (which can be due to Allocator::allocate() or element
copy/move constructor/assignment), this function has no effect (strong exception
guarantee).

If T's move constructor is not noexcept and T is not CopyInsertable
into *this, vector will use the throwing move constructor. If it (since C++11)
throws, the guarantee is waived and the effects are unspecified.

Notes

Calling push_back will cause reallocation (when size()+1 > capacity()), so some
implementations also throw std::length_error when push_back causes a reallocation
that would exceed max_size (due to implicitly calling an equivalent of
reserve(size()+1)).

Example

// Run this code

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>

int main()
{
std::vector<std::string> letters;

letters.push_back("abc");
std::string s{"def"};
letters.push_back(std::move(s));

std::cout << "std::vector `letters` holds: ";
for (auto&& e : letters) std::cout << std::quoted(e) << ' ';

std::cout << "\nMoved-from string `s` holds: " << std::quoted(s) << '\n';
}

Possible output:

std::vector `letters` holds: "abc" "def"
Moved-from string `s` holds: ""
