std::deque<T,Allocator>::resize

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | deque
 
 
 
 
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:

  • If count is equal to the current size, does nothing.
  • If the current size is greater than count, the container is reduced to its first count elements.
  • If the current size is less than count, then:
1) Additional copies of T()(until C++11)default-inserted elements(since C++11) are appended.
2) Additional copies of value are appended.

Contents

[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:

1) T is not DefaultInsertable or MoveInsertable into deque.
2) T is not CopyInsertable into deque.
(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 <deque>
#include <iostream>
 
void print(auto rem, const std::deque<int>& c)
{
    for (std::cout << rem; const int el : c)
        std::cout << el << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    std::deque<int> c = {1, 2, 3};
    print("The deque 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 deque 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.

DRApplied toBehavior as publishedCorrect behavior
LWG 679C++98resize() passed value by valuepasses by const reference
LWG 1418C++98the behavior of resize(size()) was not specifiedspecified
LWG 2033C++111. elements were removed by using erase()[1]
2. T was not required to be MoveInsertable
1. uses pop_back()
2. required
LWG 2066C++11overload (1) did not have the exception
safety guarantee of overload (2)
added
LWG 2160C++11elements were removed by using pop_back()[2]
due to the resolution of LWG 2033
does not specify the method
of removing elements
  1. erase() can remove elements in the middle of a deque, so the value type is required to be MoveAssignable so that the elements following the removed section can be moved forward to fill the gap. However, resize() can only remove elements at the end of the deque, making the MoveAssignable unnecessary.
  2. Removing elements by using pop_back() implies that the elements are required to be removed from back to front.
