std::vector::shrink_to_fit
From cppreference.com
void shrink_to_fit(); |
(since C++11) | |
Requests the removal of unused capacity.
It is a non-binding request to reduce capacity() to size(). It depends on the implementation if the request is fulfilled.
If reallocation occurs, all iterators, including the past the end iterator, and all references to the elements are invalidated. If no reallocation takes place, no iterators or references are invalidated.
Parameters
(none)
Type requirements | ||
-T must meet the requirements of MoveInsertable .
|
Return value
(none)
Complexity
At most linear in the size of the container.
Notes
If an exception is thrown other than by T's move constructor, there are no effects.
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <vector> int main() { std::vector<int> v; std::cout << "Default-constructed capacity is " << v.capacity() << '\n'; v.resize(100); std::cout << "Capacity of a 100-element vector is " << v.capacity() << '\n'; v.clear(); std::cout << "Capacity after clear() is " << v.capacity() << '\n'; v.shrink_to_fit(); std::cout << "Capacity after shrink_to_fit() is " << v.capacity() << '\n'; }
Possible output:
Default-constructed capacity is 0 Capacity of a 100-element vector is 100 Capacity after clear() is 100 Capacity after shrink_to_fit() is 0
