deque

Description

deque is a simple Bidirectional Sequence that supports constant-time insertion and removal of elements at both ends. Like the list and cons, deque is more efficient than vector (especially at compile time) when the target sequence is constructed piecemeal (a data at a time, e.g. when constructing expression templates). Like the list and cons, runtime cost of access to each element is peculiarly constant (see Recursive Inlined Functions).

Element insertion and removal are done by special deque helper classes front_extended_deque and back_extended_deque.

Header
#include <boost/fusion/container/deque.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/deque.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/container/list/deque_fwd.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/deque_fwd.hpp>
Synopsis
template <typename ...Elements>
struct deque;

For C++11 compilers, the variadic class interface has no upper bound.

For C++03 compilers, the variadic class interface accepts 0 to FUSION_MAX_DEQUE_SIZE elements, where FUSION_MAX_DEQUE_SIZE is a user definable predefined maximum that defaults to 10. Example:

deque<int, char, double>

You may define the preprocessor constant FUSION_MAX_DEQUE_SIZE before including any Fusion header to change the default. Example:

#define FUSION_MAX_DEQUE_SIZE 20

Expression Semantics

Semantics of an expression is defined only where it differs from, or is not defined in Bidirectional Sequence.

Expression

Semantics

D()

Creates a deque with default constructed elements.

D(e0, e1,... en)

Creates a deque with elements e0...en.

D(s)

Copy constructs a deque from a Forward Sequence, s.

d = s

Assigns to a deque, d, from a Forward Sequence, s.

at<N>(d)

The Nth element from the beginning of the sequence; see at.

Example
deque<int, float> d(12, 5.5f);
std::cout << at_c<0>(d) << std::endl;
std::cout << at_c<1>(d) << std::endl;
