Appends the given element value to the end of the container.

If after the operation the new size() is greater than old capacity() a reallocation takes place, in which case all iterators (including the end() iterator) and all references to the elements are invalidated. Otherwise only the end() iterator is invalidated.

[edit] Parameters

[edit] Return value

(none)

[edit] Complexity

Amortized constant.

[edit] Exceptions

If an exception is thrown (which can be due to Allocator::allocate() or element copy/move constructor/assignment), this function has no effect (strong exception guarantee).

Notes

Some implementations throw std::length_error when push_back causes a reallocation that exceeds max_size (due to an implicit call to an equivalent of reserve(size() + 1)).

[edit] Example

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<std::string> letters;
 
    letters.push_back("abc");
    std::string s{"def"};
    letters.push_back(std::move(s));
 
    std::cout << "std::vector letters holds: ";
    for (auto&& e : letters)
        std::cout << std::quoted(e) << ' ';
 
    std::cout << "\nMoved-from string s holds: " << std::quoted(s) << '\n';
}

std::vector letters holds: "abc" "def"
Moved-from string s holds: ""
