Defined in header `<stack>`
template< class T, class Container = std::deque<T> > class stack;

The std::stack class is a container adaptor that gives the programmer the functionality of a stack - specifically, a LIFO (last-in, first-out) data structure.

The class template acts as a wrapper to the underlying container - only a specific set of functions is provided. The stack pushes and pops the element from the back of the underlying container, known as the top of the stack.

(constructor)	constructs the `stack` (public member function) [edit]
(destructor)	destructs the `stack` (public member function) [edit]
operator=	assigns values to the container adaptor (public member function) [edit]
Element access
top	accesses the top element (public member function) [edit]
Capacity
empty	checks whether the container adaptor is empty (public member function) [edit]
size	returns the number of elements (public member function) [edit]
Modifiers
push	inserts element at the top (public member function) [edit]
push_range (C++23)	inserts a range of elements at the top (public member function) [edit]
emplace (C++11)	constructs element in-place at the top (public member function) [edit]
pop	removes the top element (public member function) [edit]
swap (C++11)	swaps the contents (public member function) [edit]

[edit] Non-member functions

operator==operator!=operator<operator<=operator>operator>=operator<=> (C++20)	lexicographically compares the values of two `stack`s (function template) [edit]
std::swap(std::stack) (C++11)	specializes the std::swap algorithm (function template) [edit]

[edit] Helper classes

std::uses_allocator<std::stack> (C++11)	specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait (class template specialization) [edit]
std::formatter<std::stack> (C++23)	formatting support for `std::stack` (class template specialization) [edit]

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 307	C++98	`Container` could not be `std::vector<bool>`	allowed
LWG 2566	C++98	Missing the requirement for `Container::value_type`	ill-formed if `T` is not the same type as `Container::value_type`
