void push_back( const T& value );	(1)	(since {std})
void push_back( T&& value );	(2)	(since C++11)

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

1) The new element is initialized as a copy of value.

2) value is moved into the new element.

Parameters

value	-	the value of the element to append
Type requirements
- T must meet the requirements of CopyInsertable in order to use overload (1).
- T must meet the requirements of MoveInsertable in order to use overload (2).

Return value

(none)

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).

Example

Run this code

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

Possible output:

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