Deduction guides

 

template< class... Args > iterator emplace_hint( const_iterator hint, Args&&... args );		(since C++23)

Inserts a new element into the container as close as possible to the position just before hint.

The constructors of the key and mapped value are called with exactly the same arguments as supplied to the function, forwarded with std::forward<Args>(args)....

Parameters

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

An iterator to the inserted element, or to the element that prevented the insertion.

Exceptions

If an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect (strong exception safety guarantee).
