small_vector is a vector-like container optimized for the case when it contains few elements. It contains some preallocated elements in-place, which can avoid the use of dynamic storage allocation when the actual number of elements is below that preallocated threshold.
small_vector<T, N, Allocator, Options>
is convertible to small_vector_base<T, Allocator, Options>
that is independent from the preallocated element capacity, so client code does not need to be templated on that N argument.
All boost::container::vector
member functions are inherited. See vector
documentation for details.
typename T
The type of object that is stored in the small_vector
std::size_t N
The number of preallocated elements stored inside small_vector
. It shall be less than Allocator::max_size();
typename Allocator = void
The allocator used for memory management when the number of elements exceeds N. Use void for the default allocator |tparam Options A type produced from
. boost::container::small_vector_options
typename Options = void
