std::unordered_multimap<Key,T,Hash,KeyEqual,Allocator>:: merge

Attempts to extract ("splice") each element in source and insert it into * this using the hash function and key equality predicate of * this .

No elements are copied or moved, only the internal pointers of the container nodes are repointed. All pointers and references to the transferred elements remain valid, but now refer into * this , not into source . Iterators referring to the transferred elements and all iterators referring to * this are invalidated.

The behavior is undefined if get_allocator ( ) ! = source. get_allocator ( ) .

Parameters

Return value

(none)

Complexity

Average case O(N), worst case O(N * size() + N), where N is source. size ( ) .

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <unordered_map>
#include <utility>
 
// print out a std::pair
template<class Os, class U, class V>
Os& operator<<(Os& os, const std::pair<U,V>& p)
{
    return os << '{' << p.first << ", " << p.second << '}';
}
 
// print out an associative container
template<class Os, class K, class V>
Os& operator<<(Os& os, const std::unordered_multimap<K, V>& v)
{
    os << '[' << v.size() << "] {";
    bool o{};
    for (const auto& e : v)
        os << (o ? ", " : (o = 1, "")) << e;
    return os << "}\n";
}
 
int main()
{
    std::unordered_multimap<std::string, int>
        p{{"C", 3}, {"B", 2}, {"A", 1}, {"A", 0}},
        q{{"E", 6}, {"E", 7}, {"D", 5}, {"A", 4}};
 
    std::cout << "p: " << p << "q: " << q;
 
    p.merge(q);
 
    std::cout << "p.merge(q);\n" << "p: " << p << "q: " << q;
}

p: [4] {{A, 1}, {A, 0}, {B, 2}, {C, 3}}
q: [4] {{A, 4}, {D, 5}, {E, 6}, {E, 7}}
