std::unordered_multiset<Key,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

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 <unordered_set>
 
// print out a container
template<class Os, class K>
Os& operator<<(Os& os, const std::unordered_multiset<K>& v)
{
    os << '[' << v.size() << "] {";
    bool o{};
    for (const auto& e : v)
        os << (o ? ", " : (o = 1, " ")) << e;
    return os << " }\n";
}
 
int main()
{
    std::unordered_multiset<char>
        p{'C', 'B', 'B', 'A'}, 
        q{'E', 'D', 'E', 'C'};
 
    std::cout << "p: " << p << "q: " << q;
 
    p.merge(q);
 
    std::cout << "p.merge(q);\n" << "p: " << p << "q: " << q;
}

p: [4] { A, B, B, C }
q: [4] { C, D, E, E }
p.merge(q);
p: [8] { E, E, D, A, B, B, C, C }
q: [0] { }
