gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity > Class Template Reference

Detailed Description

template<typename ElementT, size_t in_capacity>
class gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >

A resizable container with contiguous storage that can hold a specified number of elements without allocating memory on the heap.

A SmallVector is very similar to a std::vector, but it can store a small number of elements within the object itself, similar to a std::array. If the number of elements exceeds this inner capacity (size() > inner_capacity()), the elements are stored on the heap as in a conventional std::vector.

SmallVector mimicks the API of std::vector closely, but it does not support allocators. It also uses 32-bit integers for storing the number of elements and capacity. On 64-bit systems, this makes the object slightly more memory efficient and lets it store less elements.

// Create a buffer which can store up to 3 entries without allocating
SmallVector<int, 3> buf;
buf.push_back(1);
buf.push_back(2);
buf.push_back(3); // So far, no heap allocation has taken place
buf.push_back(4); // Moves all elements into newly allocated memory
Template Parameters
ElementTType of the elements to be stored in the container
in_capacityThe number of elements that can be stored directly in the object without allocating (the "inner capacity")
Since
GUL version 2.5

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SmallVector() [1/7]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::SmallVector ( )
defaultnoexcept

Construct an empty SmallVector.

If the template argument is zero, a SmallVector based on std::vector with a capacity of zero elements is generated. Use the SmallVector(size_type) constructor or call the resize() function afterwards to get a SmallVector based on std::vector with nonzero capacity.

◆ SmallVector() [2/7]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::SmallVector ( SizeType  num_elements)
inlineexplicit

Construct a SmallVector that is filled with a certain number of default-initialized elements.

Parameters
num_elementsThe number of initial elements

References gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::data(), and gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::reserve().

◆ SmallVector() [3/7]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::SmallVector ( SizeType  num_elements,
const ValueType value 
)
inline

Construct a SmallVector that is filled with a certain number of copies of the given value.

Parameters
num_elementsThe number of initial elements
valueThe value to be copied to the initial elements

◆ SmallVector() [4/7]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
template<class InputIterator , typename = std::enable_if_t<not std::is_integral<InputIterator>::value>>
gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::SmallVector ( InputIterator  first,
InputIterator  last 
)
inline

Construct a SmallVector that is filled with copies of elements from the given range.

This constructor is not available if the iterators are of integral (and non-pointer) type, in order to avoid confusion with SmallVector(SizeType num_elements, const ValueType& value).

Template Parameters
InputIteratorAn input iterator type
Parameters
firstIterator to the first element to be copied
lastIterator past the last element to be copied
Warning
The behavior is undefined if the number of input elements exceeds max_size().

◆ SmallVector() [5/7]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::SmallVector ( const SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity > &  other)
inlinenoexcept

Create a copy of another SmallVector with the same inner capacity.

The new vector is filled with copies of the original data elements. It has the same size() as the original, but its capacity() might differ.

Note
The copy constructor cannot be used if the element type itself is not copyable.

◆ SmallVector() [6/7]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::SmallVector ( SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity > &&  other)
inlinenoexcept

Move constructor: Create a SmallVector from the contents of another one with the same inner capacity using move semantics.

The new vector has the same size() as the original, but its capacity() might differ. The original vector is empty() after the operation.

If the other vector has allocated storage, it is efficiently moved in en-bloc. If it uses the internal storage, the behavior depends on the availability of a non-throwing move constructor. If such a noexcept move constructor is available, elements are moved in one-by-one. Otherwise, elements are copied in.

If no exception is thrown, the other vector is guaranteed to be empty after the call. If an exception is thrown, it is guaranteed to be unchanged if ValueType is either copy-constructible or nothrow-move-constructible.

◆ SmallVector() [7/7]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::SmallVector ( std::initializer_list< ValueType init)
inline

Construct a SmallVector that is filled with copies of the elements from a given initializer list.

Warning
The behavior is undefined if the number of elements in the initializer list exceeds max_size().

template<typename... ArgumentTypes>
Iterator gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::emplace ( ConstIterator  pos,

inline

Construct an additional element at an arbitrary position in the vector.

The new element is inserted at the position indicated by pos; pre-existing elements at and after this position are moved backwards. Other parameters of emplace() are passed to the element constructor via perfect forwarding.

If pos == end(), the new element is constructed in-place at the end of the vector. Otherwise, it is first constructed on the stack and then move-assigned into the vector. If the constructor of the new element throws, the contents of the vector are not changed, but the capacity might differ.

All existing iterators are invalidated if the new size() exceeds the original capacity(). Otherwise, only the iterators to elements at or after pos are invalidated.

Parameters
posConstant iterator to the position at which the new element should be constructed.
argumentsList of arguments for the element constructor.
Returns
an iterator to the new element.
Exceptions
std::length_erroris thrown if the maximum capacity of the container is reached and cannot be increased.

template<typename... ArgumentTypes>
Reference gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::emplace_back ( ArgumentTypes &&...  arguments)
inline

Construct an additional element at the end of the buffer.

The parameters of emplace_back() are passed to the element constructor via perfect forwarding. If the constructor of the new element throws, the contents of the vector are not changed, but the capacity might differ.

All existing iterators are invalidated if the new size() exceeds the original capacity(). Otherwise, only the end() iterator is invalidated.

Parameters
argumentsList of arguments for the element constructor.
Returns
a reference to the new element.

◆ insert() [1/5]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
Iterator gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::insert ( ConstIterator  pos,
const ValueType value 
)
inline

Insert a single element before the indicated position.

This increases the size of the container by 1. All elements starting from the indicated position are moved backwards.

Parameters
posIterator to the existing element in front of which the new value should be inserted.
valueThe value to be copied into the container.
Returns
an iterator to the newly inserted element.

◆ insert() [2/5]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
template<class InputIterator , typename = std::enable_if_t<not std::is_integral<InputIterator>::value>>
Iterator gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::insert ( ConstIterator  pos,
InputIterator  first,
InputIterator  last 
)
inline

Insert a range of values before the indicated position.

This overload is not available if the iterators are of integral (and non-pointer) type, in order to avoid confusion with insert(ConstIterator pos, SizeType num_elements, const ValueType& value).

Template Parameters
InputIteratorAn input iterator type.
Parameters
posIterator to the existing element in front of which the new values should be inserted.
firstIterator to the first element to be copied.
lastIterator pointing past the last element to be copied.
Returns
an iterator to the first of the inserted elements or pos if the range is empty.
Warning
The behavior is undefined if the total number of elements after insertion would exceed max_size().

◆ insert() [4/5]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
Iterator gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::insert ( ConstIterator  pos,
std::initializer_list< ValueType init 
)
inline

Parameters
posIterator to the existing element in front of which the new values should be inserted.
initAn initializer list with the values to be copied.
Returns
an iterator to the first of the inserted elements or pos if the range is empty.
Warning
The behavior is undefined if the total number of elements after insertion would exceed max_size().

◆ insert() [5/5]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
Iterator gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::insert ( ConstIterator  pos,
ValueType &&  value 
)
inline

Insert a single element before the indicated position.

This increases the size of the container by 1. All elements starting from the indicated position are moved backwards.

Parameters
posIterator to the existing element in front of which the new value should be inserted.
valueThe value to be moved into the container.
Returns
an iterator to the newly inserted element.

◆ max_size()

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
constexpr SizeType gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::max_size ( ) const
inlineconstexprnoexcept

Return the maximum number of elements that this vector can theoretically hold.

This value reflects only limitations of the implementation. It is possible that the size of the container is effectively limited to a much smaller value because of limited available memory.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
SmallVector& gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::operator= ( const SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity > &  other)
inlinenoexcept

Copy assignment operator: Copy all elements from another SmallVector after clearing all previous contents.

Note
Copy assignment is only possible if the element type itself is copyable.

References gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::clear(), gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::data(), and gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::reserve().

◆ operator=() [2/2]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
SmallVector& gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::operator= ( SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity > &&  other)
inlinenoexcept

Move assignment operator: Assign all of the elements from another vector to this one using move semantics after clearing all previous contents.

If the other vector has allocated storage, it is efficiently moved in en-bloc. If it uses the internal storage, the behavior depends on the availability of a non-throwing move constructor. If such a noexcept move constructor is available, elements are moved in one-by-one. Otherwise, elements are copied in.

If no exception is thrown, the other vector is guaranteed to be empty after the call. If an exception is thrown, it is guaranteed to be unchanged if ValueType is either copy-constructible or nothrow-move-constructible.

◆ pop_back()

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
void gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::pop_back ( )
inline

Remove the last element from the vector.

Calling pop_back() on an empty vector results in undefined behavior.

◆ push_back() [1/2]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
void gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::push_back ( const ValueType value)
inline

Copy one element to the end of the buffer.

All existing iterators are invalidated if the new size() exceeds the original capacity(). Otherwise, only the end() iterator is invalidated.

Exceptions
std::length_erroris thrown if the maximum capacity of the container is reached and cannot be increased.

◆ push_back() [2/2]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
void gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::push_back ( ValueType &&  value)
inline

Move one element to the end of the buffer.

This invalidates all existing iterators.

Exceptions
std::length_erroris thrown if the maximum capacity of the container is reached and cannot be increased.

◆ rbegin()

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
ReverseIterator gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::rbegin ( )
inlinenoexcept

Return a reverse iterator to the first element of the reversed vector (which is the last element of the actual vector).

The iterator cannot be dereferenced if the vector is empty.

References gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::end().

◆ rend()

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
ReverseIterator gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::rend ( )
inlinenoexcept

Return a reverse iterator pointing past the last element of the reversed vector.

The iterator cannot be dereferenced if the vector is empty.

References gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::begin().

◆ reserve()

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
void gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::reserve ( SizeType  new_capacity)
inline

Increase the capacity of the vector to the specified size.

This call can only enlarge the container. If new_capacity < capacity(), the call does nothing.

Parameters
new_capacityThe new capacity of the vector
See also
shrink_to_fit() can be used to shrink the vector

◆ resize() [1/2]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
void gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::resize ( SizeType  num_elements)
inline

Change the number of elements in the container.

If the number of elements is decreased, superfluous elements are removed from the end of the container and the capacity is not changed. If the number of elements is increased, default-constructed elements are added at the end of the container and the capacity can grow.

Parameters
num_elementsThe desired number of elements after resizing
Note
Exception guarantee: If the element default constructor throws while enlarging the vector, the size and content of the container are not changed. However, the capacity might change, and therefore iterators can be invalidated.

◆ resize() [2/2]

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
void gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::resize ( SizeType  num_elements,
const ValueType element 
)
inline

Change the number of elements in the container.

If the number of elements is decreased, superfluous elements are removed from the end of the container and the capacity is not changed. If the number of elements is increased, copies of the specified element are added at the end of the container and the capacity can grow.

Parameters
num_elementsThe desired number of elements after resizing
elementThe element to be copied into the new cells when enlarging

◆ shrink_to_fit()

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
void gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::shrink_to_fit ( )
inline

Reduce the capacity as far as possible while retaining all stored elements.

This might free up some space on the heap, and it invalidates existing iterators.

References gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::data(), and gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::inner_capacity().

◆ swap()

template<typename ElementT , size_t in_capacity>
void gul14::SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity >::swap ( SmallVector< ElementT, in_capacity > &  other)
inline

Exchange the contents of this SmallVector with those of another one.

If either this or the other vector have internally stored elements (capacity() <= inner_capacity()), this function falls back to element-wise swapping. Otherwise, the heap-allocated buffers are swapped directly.
