  23.1  Container requirements              [lib.container.requirements]

1 Containers are objects that store other objects.  They control alloca­
  tion and deallocation of these objects through constructors,  destruc­
  tors, insert and erase operations.

2 The  type of objects stored in these components must meet the require­
  ments of CopyConstructible types  (_lib.copyconstructible_),  and  the
  additional requirements of Assignable types.

      |t = u        T&            t is equivalent to u   constant   |
      +-------------------------------------------------------------+

3 In  the  following Table 2, T is the type used to instantiate the con­
  tainer, t is a value of T, and u is a value of (possibly const) T.

4 In the following Table 3,  X  denotes  a  container  class  containing
  objects  of  type T, A denotes the allocator type of X, a and b denote
  values of type X, u denotes an identifier and r denotes a value of X&.

  Notes: equal() and lexicographical_compare()  are  defined  in  Clause
  _lib.algorithms_.

  +-------                 BEGIN BOX 1                -------+
  Missing  from  this list is a typedef for the Allocator template argu­
  ment: allocator_type.  This would  be  a  substantive  change,  so  it
  remains an open issue.

  +-------                  END BOX 1                 -------+

  +-------                 BEGIN BOX 2                -------+
  All the containers defined in this clause declare a typedef name iter­
  ator identical with the pointer to an element of the collection.  This
  is  almost  certainly  incorrect  except in the case of vector<>.  The
  type that implements iterator is  necessarily  an  unspecified  opaque
  type provided by the implementation.
  +-------                  END BOX 2                 -------+

5 The  member function size() returns the number of elements in the con­
  tainer.  Its semantics  is  defined  by  the  rules  of  constructors,
  inserts, and erases.

6 begin() returns an iterator referring to the first element in the con­
  tainer.  end() returns an iterator which is the past-the-end value.

7 Constructors for all container types defined in this  clause  take  an
  Allocator& argument (_lib.allocator.requirements_).

  +-------                 BEGIN BOX 3                -------+
  This includes copy constructors.  Should it?
  +-------                  END BOX 3                 -------+

  A  copy  of this argument is used for any memory allocation performed,
  by these constructors and by all member functions, during the lifetime
  of each container object.

8 If  the  iterator  type of a container belongs to the bidirectional or
  random access iterator categories  (_lib.iterator.requirements_),  the
  container  is  called reversible and satisfies the additional require­
  ments in the following Table 4:

  23.1.1  Sequences                                [lib.sequence.reqmts]

1 A  sequence  is  a  kind  of  container that organizes a finite set of
  objects, all of the same type, into  a  strictly  linear  arrangement.
  The library provides three basic kinds of sequence containers: vector,
  list, and deque.  It also provides container  adaptors  that  make  it
  easy  to  construct abstract data types, such as stacks or queues, out
  of the basic sequence kinds (or out of other kinds of  sequences  that
  the user might define).

2 In  the following Table 5, X denotes a sequence class, a denotes value
  of X, i and j denote iterators satisfying input iterator requirements,

  [i,  j)  denotes  a  valid range, n denotes a value of X::size_type, p
  denotes a valid iterator to a, q, q1, q2 denote valid  dereferenceable
  iterators  to  a, [q1, q2) denotes a valid range, t denotes a value of
  X::value_type.

3 The complexities of the expressions are sequence dependent.

4 vector, list, and deque  offer  the  programmer  different  complexity
  trade-offs  and  should  be  used  accordingly.  vector is the type of
  sequence that should be used by default.  list  should  be  used  when
  there  are  frequent  insertions  and deletions from the middle of the
  sequence.  deque is the data structure of choice when most  insertions
  and  deletions  take  place  at  the  beginning  or  at the end of the
  sequence.

5 iterator and const_iterator types for sequences have to be at least of
  the forward iterator category.

  23.1.2  Associative containers                [lib.associative.reqmts]

1 Associative containers provide an ability for fast retrieval  of  data
  based  on  keys.  The library provides four basic kinds of associative
  containers: set, multiset, map and multimap.

2 All of them are parameterized on Key and an ordering relation  Compare
  that  induces  a  total ordering on elements of Key.  In addition, map
  and multimap associate an arbitrary type T with the Key.   The  object
  of type Compare is called the comparison object of a container.

3 The phrase ``equality of keys'' means the equivalence relation imposed
  by the comparison and not the operator== on keys.  That is,  two  keys
  k1  and  k2  are  considered  to be equal if for the comparison object
  comp, comp(k1, k2) == false && comp(k2, k1) == false.

4 An associative container supports unique keys if  it  may  contain  at
  most  one  element  for  each key.  Otherwise, it supports equal keys.
  set and map support unique keys.  multiset and multimap support  equal
  keys.

5 For  set and multiset the value type is the same as the key type.  For
  map and multimap it is equal to pair<const Key, T>.

6 iterator of an associative container is of the bidirectional  iterator
  category.

7 In  the following Table 7, X is an associative container class, a is a
  value of X, a_uniq is a value of X when X supports  unique  keys,  and
  a_eq  is  a  value of X when X supports multiple keys, i and j satisfy
  input iterator requirements and refer to elements of  value_type,  [i,
  j)  is  a valid range, p is a valid iterator to a, q, q1, q2 are valid
  dereferenceable iterators to a, [q1, q2) is a  valid  range,  t  is  a
  value of X::value_type and k is a value of X::key_type.

  From Issue 23-017 on the containers issue list:
  The treatment of member functions in tables 50 through 54 is inconsis­
  tent  for  members that do not return a value.  In some cases ``result
  is not used'' is indicated, while in other cases  ``void''  is  speci­
  fied.   Recommend  that ``void'' be used consistently; ``result is not
  used'' is less clear.

8 The fundamental property of iterators  of  associative  containers  is
  that  they  iterate through the containers in the non-descending order
  of keys where non-descending is defined by  the  comparison  that  was
  used to construct them.  For any two dereferenceable iterators i and j
  such that distance from i to j is positive,
    value_comp(*j, *i) == false

9 For associative containers with unique  keys  the  stronger  condition
  holds,
    value_comp(*i, *j) == true.

  23.2.1  Template class bitset                    [lib.template.bitset]

1 The header <bitset> defines a template class and several related func­
  tions for representing and manipulating fixed-size sequences of  bits.

    };
  }

2 The  template  class  bitset<N>  describes  an object that can store a
  sequence consisting of a fixed number of bits, N.

3 Each bit represents either the value zero (reset) or  one  (set).   To
  toggle  a  bit is to change the value zero to one, or the value one to
  zero.  Each bit has a  non-negative  position  pos.   When  converting
  between  an  object  of  class  bitset<N> and a value of some integral
  type, bit position pos corresponds to the bit value  1  <<  pos.   The
  integral  value  corresponding to two or more bits is the sum of their
  bit values.

4 The functions described in this subclause can report  three  kinds  of
  errors, each associated with a distinct exception:

  --an  invalid-argument  error  is  associated  with exceptions of type
    invalid_argument (_lib.invalid.argument_);

  --an  out-of-range  error  is  associated  with  exceptions  of   type
    out_of_range (_lib.out.of.range_);

  --an  overflow  error  is  associated  with  exceptions  of type over­
    flow_error (_lib.overflow.error_).

  23.2.1.1  bitset constructors                        [lib.bitset.cons]

  bitset();

  Effects:
    Constructs an object of class bitset<N>, initializing  all  bits  to
    zero.

  bitset(unsigned long val);

  Effects:
    Constructs  an  object  of class bitset<N>, initializing the first M
    bit positions to the corresponding bit values  in  val.   M  is  the
    smaller of N and the value CHAR_BIT * sizeof (unsigned long).1)
    If M < N, remaining bit positions are initialized to zero.

  template <class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
  explicit
  bitset(const basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>& str,
         basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>::size_type pos = 0,
         basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>::size_type n =
           basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>::npos);

  +-------                 BEGIN BOX 5                -------+
  Change: The propose resolution for issue 23-012, accepted in Monterey,
  changed  the  above definition, but did not specify the new definition
  as explicit. Since the original was explicit I  made  the  replacement
  explicit also.

  +-------                  END BOX 5                 -------+

  Requires:
    pos <= str.size().
  Throws:
    out_of_range if pos > str.size().
  Effects:
    Determines  the  effective length rlen of the initializing string as
    the smaller of n and str.size() - pos.
    The function then throws invalid_argument if any of the rlen charac­
    ters in str beginning at position pos is other than 0 or 1.
    Otherwise,  the  function  constructs  an object of class bitset<N>,
    initializing the first M bit positions to values determined from the
    corresponding  characters  in the string str.  M is the smaller of N
    and rlen.

  _________________________
  1)  The macro CHAR_BIT is defined in <climits> (_lib.support.limits_).

1 An element of the constructed string has value zero if the correspond­
  ing character in str, beginning at position pos, is 0.  Otherwise, the
  element has the value one.  Character position pos + M - 1 corresponds
  to  bit position zero.  Subsequent decreasing character positions cor­
  respond to increasing bit positions.

2 If M < N, remaining bit positions are initialized to zero.

  Effects:
    Sets  each  bit  in  *this for which the corresponding bit in rhs is
    set, and leaves all other bits unchanged.
  Returns:
    *this.

  bitset<N>& operator^=(const bitset<N>& rhs);

  Effects:
    Toggles each bit in *this for which the corresponding bit in rhs  is
    set, and leaves all other bits unchanged.
  Returns:
    *this.

  bitset<N>& operator<<=(size_t pos);

  Effects:
    Replaces  each bit at position I in *this with a value determined as
    follows:

  --If I < pos, the new value is zero;

  --If I >= pos, the new value is the previous value of the bit at posi­
    tion I - pos.
  Returns:
    *this.

  bitset<N>& operator>>=(size_t pos);

  Effects:
    Replaces  each bit at position I in *this with a value determined as
    follows:

  --If pos >= N - I, the new value is zero;

  --If pos < N - I, the new value is the previous value of  the  bit  at
    position I + pos.
  Returns:
    *this.

  bitset<N>& set();

  Effects:

    Resets all bits in *this.
  Returns:
    *this.

  Throws:
    out_of_range if pos does not correspond to a valid bit position.
  Effects:
    Resets the bit at position pos in *this.
  Returns:
    *this.

  bitset<N> operator~() const;

  Effects:

  Effects:
    Toggles all bits in *this.
  Returns:
    *this.

    pos is valid
  Throws:
    out_of_range if pos does not correspond to a valid bit position.
  Effects:
    Toggles the bit at position pos in *this.

  template <class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
  basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator> to_string() const;

  Effects:
    Constructs a string object of the appropriate type  and  initializes
    it to a string of length N characters.  Each character is determined
    by the value of its corresponding bit position in *this.   Character
    position  N  -  1  corresponds  to  bit  position  zero.  Subsequent
    decreasing character positions correspond to  increasing  bit  posi­
    tions.   Bit  value  zero  becomes  the  character  0, bit value one
    becomes the character 1.
  Returns:
    The created object.

  size_t count() const;

  template <class charT, class traits, size_t N>
    basic_istream<charT, traits>&

1 A formatted input function (_lib.istream.formatted_).
  Effects:
    Extracts  up  to  N  (single-byte) characters from is.  Stores these
    characters in a temporary object str of type string, then  evaluates
    the  expression  x  =  bitset<N>(str).  Characters are extracted and
    stored until any of the following occurs:

  --N characters have been extracted and stored;

  --end-of-file occurs on the input sequence;

  --the next input character is neither 0 or 1 (in which case the  input
    character is not extracted).

2 If  no  characters  are stored in str, calls is.setstate(ios::failbit)
  (which may throw ios_base::failure (_lib.iostate.flags_).
  Returns:
    is.

  template <class charT, class traits, size_t N>
    basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
    operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os, const bitset<N>& x);

  23.2.2  Template class deque                               [lib.deque]

1 A deque is a kind of sequence that, like a vector (_lib.vector_), sup­
  ports random access iterators.  In addition, it supports constant time
  insert and erase operations at the beginning or the  end;  insert  and
  erase  in the middle take linear time.  That is, a deque is especially
  optimized for pushing and popping elements at the beginning  and  end.
  As with vectors, storage management is handled automatically.

  template <class InputIterator>
    void insert(iterator position,
                InputIterator first, InputIterator last);

  Effects:
    Invalidates all the iterators and references to the deque.
  Complexity:
    In the worst case, inserting a single element  into  a  deque  takes
    time  linear in the minimum of the distance from the insertion point
    to the beginning of the deque and the distance  from  the  insertion
    point to the end of the deque.  Inserting a single element either at
    the beginning or end of a  deque  always  takes  constant  time  and
    causes a single call to the copy constructor of T.

  void erase(iterator position);
  void erase(iterator first, iterator last);

  Effects:
    Invalidates all the iterators and references to the deque.
    The  number  of calls to the destructor is the same as the number of
    elements erased, but the number of the calls to the assignment oper­
    ator  is  equal  to the minimum of the number of elements before the
    erased elements and the number of element after the erased elements.

  23.2.3  Template class list                                 [lib.list]

  allows constant time insert and erase operations anywhere  within  the
  sequence,  with storage management handled automatically.  Unlike vec­
  tors (_lib.vector_) and deques (_lib.deque_), fast  random  access  to

  list  elements is not supported, but many algorithms only need sequen­
  tial access anyway.

  template <class InputIterator>
    void insert(iterator position, InputIterator first,
                InputIterator last);

  Notes:
    Does not affect the validity of iterators and references.
  Complexity:
    Insertion  of  a  single element into a list takes constant time and
    exactly one call to the copy constructor of T.  Insertion of  multi­
    ple  elements  into  a  list  is  linear  in  the number of elements
    inserted, and the number of calls to the copy constructor  of  T  is
    exactly equal to the number of elements inserted.

  void erase(iterator position);
  void erase(iterator first, iterator last);

  Effects:
    Invalidates  only  the  iterators  and references to the erased ele­
    ments.
  Complexity:
    Erasing a single element is a constant time operation with a  single
    call  to  the  destructor of T.  Erasing a range in a list is linear
    time in the size of the  range  and  the  number  of  calls  to  the
    destructor of type T is exactly equal to the size of the range.

  23.2.3.7  list operations                               [lib.list.ops]

1 Since  lists  allow  fast  insertion  and erasing from the middle of a
  list, certain operations are provided specifically for them.

2 list provides three splice operations that destructively move elements
  from one list to another.

  void splice(iterator position, list<T,Allocator>& x);

  Requires:
    &x != this.
  Effects:
    Inserts the contents of x before position and x becomes empty.
  Complexity:
    Constant time.

  void splice(iterator position, list<T,Allocator>& x, iterator i);

  Effects:
    Inserts  an  element pointed to by i from list x before position and
    removes the element from x.  The result is unchanged is position  ==
    i or position == ++i.
  Requires:
    i is a valid dereferenceable iterator of x.
  Complexity:
    Constant time.

  void splice(iterator position, list<T,Allocator>& x, iterator first,
              iterator last);

  Effects:
    Inserts  elements  in  the  range  [first, last) before position and
    removes the elements from x.
  Requires:
    [first, last) is a valid range in x.  The  result  is  undefined  if
    position is an iterator in the range [first, last).
  Complexity:
    Constant time if &x == this; otherwise, linear time.

                             void remove(const T& value);
  template <class Predicate> void remove_if(Predicate pred);

  Effects:
    Erases  all the elements in the list referred by the list iterator i
    for which the following conditions hold:  *i == value,  pred(*i)  ==
    true.
  Notes:
    Stable:   the relative order of the elements that are not removed is
    the same as their relative order in the original list.
  Complexity:
    Exactly size() applications of the corresponding predicate.

                                   void unique();
  template <class BinaryPredicate> void unique(BinaryPredicate binary_pred);

  Effects:
    Erases all but the first element from  every  consecutive  group  of
    equal elements in the list.
  Complexity:
    Exactly  size()  - 1 applications of the corresponding binary predi­
    cate.

  void   merge(list<T,Allocator>& x);
  template <class Compare> void merge(list<T,Allocator>& x, Compare comp);

  Effects:
    Merges the argument list into the  list  (both  are  assumed  to  be
    sorted).
  Notes:
    Stable:   for equal elements in the two lists, the elements from the
    list always precede the elements from the argument list.  x is empty
    after the merge.
  Complexity:
    At most size() + x.size() - 1 comparisons.

  void reverse();

  Effects:
    Reverses the order of the elements in the list.
  Complexity:
    Linear time.

                           void sort();
  template <class Compare> void sort(Compare comp);

  Effects:
    Sorts  the  list  according  to  the operator< or a compare function
    object.
  Notes:
    Stable:  the relative order of the equal elements is preserved.
  Complexity:
    Approximately NlogN comparisons, where N == size().

  23.2.5.2  vector constructors, copy, and             [lib.vector.cons]
       assignment

  vector();
  explicit vector(size_type n, const T& value = T());
  vector(const vector<T,Allocator>& x);
  template <class InputIterator>
    vector(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);

  Complexity:
    The  constructor template <class InputIterator> vector(InputIterator
    first, InputIterator last) makes only N calls to the copy  construc­
    tor  of  T  (where  N is the distance between first and last) and no
    reallocations if iterators first and last are of  forward,  bidirec­
    tional,  or  random  access categories.  It does at most 2N calls to
    the copy constructor of T and logN reallocations if  they  are  just
    input  iterators,  since  it is impossible to determine the distance
    between first and last and then do copying.

  template <class InputIterator>
    void assign(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);

  Effects:
        erase(begin(), end());
        insert(begin(), first, last);

  template <class Size, class T> void assign(Size n, const T& t = T());

  Effects:
        erase(begin(), end());
        insert(begin(), n, t);

  23.2.5.4  vector capacity                        [lib.vector.capacity]

  size_type capacity() const;

  Returns:
    The size of the allocated storage in the vector.

  void reserve(size_type n);

  Effects:
    A directive that informs vector of a planned change in size, so that
    it  can  manage  the  storage  allocation  accordingly.  It does not
    change the size of the sequence and takes at most linear time in the
    size  of  the  sequence.   Reallocation happens at this point if and
    only if the current capacity is less than the argument of reserve.
  Notes:
    After reserve, capacity() is greater or equal  to  the  argument  of
    reserve  if reallocation happens; and equal to the previous value of

    capacity() otherwise.  Reallocation invalidates all the  references,
    pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence.
    No  reallocation takes place during the insertions that happen after
    reserve takes place till the  time  when  the  size  of  the  vector
    reaches the size specified by reserve.

  void resize(size_type sz, T c = T());

  Effects:
        if (sz > size())
          s.insert(s.end(), s.size()-sz, v);
        else if (sz < size())
          s.erase(s.begin()+sz, s.end());
        else
          ; // do nothing

  23.2.5.5  vector element access                    [lib.vector.access]

  23.2.5.6  vector modifiers                      [lib.vector.modifiers]

  iterator insert(iterator position, const T& x = T());
  void     insert(iterator position, size_type n, const T& x);
  template <class InputIterator>
    void insert(iterator position, InputIterator first, InputIterator last);

  Notes:
    Causes  reallocation  if the new size is greater than the old capac­
    ity.  If no reallocation happens, all the iterators  and  references
    before the insertion point remain valid.
  Complexity:
    Inserting  a  single element into a vector is linear in the distance
    from the insertion point to the end of the vector.
    The amortized complexity over the lifetime of a vector of  inserting
    a single element at its end is constant.  Insertion of multiple ele­
    ments into a vector with a single call of the insert member function
    is  linear in the sum of the number of elements plus the distance to
    the end of the vector.2)

  void erase(iterator position);
  void erase(iterator first, iterator last);

  _________________________
  2) In other words, it is much faster to insert many elements into  the
  middle  of  a  vector  at once than to do the insertion one at a time.
  The insert template member function preallocates  enough  storage  for
  the insertion if the iterators first and last are of forward, bidirec­
  tional or random access category.  Otherwise, it does insert  elements
  one  by  one  and  should not be used for inserting into the middle of
  vectors.

  Effects:
    Invalidates all the iterators and references after the point of  the
    erase.
    The  destructor of T is called the number of times equal to the num­
    ber of the elements erased, but the  assignment  operator  of  T  is
    called  the  number  of times equal to the number of elements in the
    vector after the erased elements.
