template< class... Args >
std::pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace( const Key& k, Args&&... args );
(1) (since C++17)
template< class... Args >
std::pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace( Key&& k, Args&&... args );
(2) (since C++17)
template< class K, class... Args >
std::pair<iterator, bool> try_emplace( K&& k, Args&&... args );
(3) (since C++26)
template< class... Args >
iterator try_emplace( const_iterator hint, const Key& k, Args&&... args );
(4) (since C++17)
template< class... Args >
iterator try_emplace( const_iterator hint, Key&& k, Args&&... args );
(5) (since C++17)
template< class K, class... Args >
iterator try_emplace( const_iterator hint, K&& k, Args&&... args );
(6) (since C++26)

If a key equivalent to k already exists in the container, does nothing. Otherwise, inserts a new element into the container with key k and value constructed with args. In such case:

1) Behaves like emplace except that the element is constructed as
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,

           std::forward_as_tuple(k),

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...))
2) Behaves like emplace except that the element is constructed as
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::move(k)),

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...))
3) Behaves like emplace except that the element is constructed as
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<K>(k)),

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...))
4) Behaves like emplace_hint except that the element is constructed as
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,

           std::forward_as_tuple(k),

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...))
5) Behaves like emplace_hint except that the element is constructed as
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::move(k)),

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...))
6) Behaves like emplace_hint except that the element is constructed as
value_type(std::piecewise_construct,

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<K>(k)),

           std::forward_as_tuple(std::forward<Args>(args)...))
1-6) If value_type is not EmplaceConstructible into {{{1}}} from the corresponding expression, the behavior is undefined.
3) This overload participates in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:
If hash_function()(u.first) != hash_function()(k) || contains(u.first) is true, the behavior is undefined, where u is the new element to be inserted.
6) This overload participates in overload resolution only if Hash::is_transparent and KeyEqual::is_transparent are both valid and each denotes a type.
If hash_function()(u.first) != hash_function()(k) || contains(u.first) is true, the behavior is undefined, where u is the new element to be inserted.

Contents

Parameters

k - the key used both to look up and to insert if not found
hint - iterator to the position before which the new element will be inserted
args - arguments to forward to the constructor of the element

Return value

1-3) Same as for emplace:
A pair consisting of an iterator to the inserted element (or to the element that prevented the insertion) and a bool value set to true if and only if the insertion took place.
4-6) Same as for emplace_hint:
An iterator to the inserted element, or to the element that prevented the insertion.

Complexity

1-3) Same as for emplace:
Amortized constant on average, worst case linear in the size of the container.
4-6) Same as for emplace_hint:

Amortized constant on average, worst case linear in the size of the container.

Amortized constant on average, worst case linear in the size of the container.

Notes

Unlike insert or emplace, these functions do not move from rvalue arguments if the insertion does not happen, which makes it easy to manipulate maps whose values are move-only types, such as std::<std::string, std::unique_ptr<foo>>. In addition, try_emplace treats the key and the arguments to the mapped_type separately, unlike emplace, which requires the arguments to construct a value_type (that is, a std::pair).

Overloads (3,6) can be called without constructing an object of type Key.

Feature-test macro Value Std Feature
__cpp_lib_map_try_emplace 201411L (C++17) std::map::try_emplace, std::map::insert_or_assign
__cpp_lib_associative_heterogeneous_insertion 202311L (C++26) Heterogeneous overloads for the remaining member functions in ordered and unordered associative containers. Overloads (3) and (6).

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <map>
#include <utility>
 
void print_node(const auto& node)
{
    std::cout << '[' << node.first << "] = " << node.second << '\n';
}
 
void print_result(auto const& pair)
{
    std::cout << (pair.second ? "inserted: " : "ignored:  ");
    print_node(*pair.first);
}
 
int main()
{
    using namespace std::literals;
    std::map<std::string, std::string> m;
 
    print_result(m.try_emplace("a", "a"s));
    print_result(m.try_emplace("b", "abcd"));
    print_result(m.try_emplace("c", 10, 'c'));
    print_result(m.try_emplace("c", "Won't be inserted"));
 
    for (const auto& p : m)
        print_node(p);
}

Output:

inserted: [a] = a
inserted: [b] = abcd
inserted: [c] = cccccccccc
ignored:  [c] = cccccccccc
[a] = a
[b] = abcd
[c] = cccccccccc
