| size_type max_size() const; |
(noexcept since C++11) (constexpr since C++20) |
|
Returns the maximum number of elements the container is able to hold due to system or library implementation limitations, i.e. std::distance(begin(), end()) for the largest container.
Contents |
[edit] Parameters
(none)
[edit] Return value
Maximum number of elements.
[edit] Complexity
Constant.
[edit] Notes
This value typically reflects the theoretical limit on the size of the container, at most std::numeric_limits<difference_type>::max(). At runtime, the size of the container may be limited to a value smaller than max_size() by the amount of RAM available.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <locale> #include <vector> int main() { std::vector<char> p; std::vector<long> q; std::cout.imbue(std::locale("en_US.UTF-8")); std::cout << std::uppercase << "p.max_size() = " << std::dec << p.max_size() << " = 0x" << std::hex << p.max_size() << '\n' << "q.max_size() = " << std::dec << q.max_size() << " = 0x" << std::hex << q.max_size() << '\n'; }
Possible output:
p.max_size() = 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 = 0x7,FFF,FFF,FFF,FFF,FFF q.max_size() = 1,152,921,504,606,846,975 = 0xFFF,FFF,FFF,FFF,FFF
