Defined in header <queue>
template <class Comp, class Container> priority_queue(Comp, Container)  -> priority_queue<typename Container::value_type, Container, Comp>;	(1)	(since C++17)
template<class InputIt,          class Comp = std::less</*iter-value-type*/<InputIt>>,          class Container = std::vector</*iter-value-type*/<InputIt>> priority_queue(InputIt, InputIt, Comp = Comp(), Container = Container())   -> priority_queue</*iter-value-type*/<InputIt>, Container, Comp>;	(2)	(since C++17)
template<class Comp, class Container, class Alloc> priority_queue(Comp, Container, Alloc)   -> priority_queue<typename Container::value_type, Container, Comp>;	(3)	(since C++17)
template<class InputIt, class Alloc> priority_queue(InputIt, InputIt, Alloc)   -> priority_queue</*iter-value-type*/<InputIt>,                     std::vector</*iter-value-type*/<InputIt>, Alloc>,                     std::less</*iter-value-type*/<InputIt>>>;	(4)	(since C++17)
template<class InputIt, class Comp, class Alloc> priority_queue(InputIt, InputIt, Comp, Alloc)   -> priority_queue</*iter-value-type*/<InputIt>,                     std::vector</*iter-value-type*/<InputIt>, Alloc>, Comp>;	(5)	(since C++17)
template<class InputIt, class Comp, class Container, class Alloc> priority_queue(InputIt, InputIt, Comp, Container, Alloc)   -> priority_queue<typename Container::value_type, Container, Comp>;	(6)	(since C++17)

These deduction guides are provided for std::priority_queue to allow deduction from underlying container type and from an iterator range. /*iter-value-type*/<It> denotes typename std::iterator_traits<It>::value_type for any type It.

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if

• InputIt satisfies LegacyInputIterator,
• Comp does not satisfy Allocator,
• Container does not satisfy Allocator,
• for overloads (4) and (5),(since C++23) Alloc satisfies Allocator, and
• for overloads (3) and (6), std::uses_allocator_v<Container, Alloc> is true.

Note: the extent to which the library determines that a type does not satisfy LegacyInputIterator is unspecified, except that as a minimum integral types do not qualify as input iterators. Likewise, the extent to which it determines that a type does not satisfy Allocator is unspecified, except that as a minimum the member type Alloc::value_type must exist and the expression std::declval<Alloc&>().allocate(std::size_t{}) must be well-formed when treated as an unevaluated operand.

Example

Run this code

#include <queue>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
 
int main() {
    const std::vector<int> v = {1,2,3,4};
    std::priority_queue pq1{std::greater<int>{}, v}; // deduces std::priority_queue<
                                                     //   int, std::vector<int>,
                                                     //   std::greater<int>>
    for (; !pq1.empty(); pq1.pop())
        std::cout << pq1.top() << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    std::priority_queue pq2{v.begin(), v.end()}; // deduces std::priority_queue<int>
 
    for (; !pq2.empty(); pq2.pop())
        std::cout << pq2.top() << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

1 2 3 4
4 3 2 1
