Transfers elements from other to *this. The elements are inserted after pos.

If any of the following conditions is satisfied, the behavior is undefined:

  • pos is not in the range (before_begin()end()).
  • get_allocator() == other.get_allocator() is false.
1,2) Transfers all elements of other. other becomes empty after the operation.
If *this and other refer to the same object, the behavior is undefined.
3,4) Transfers the element following it.
*this and other can refer to the same object. In this case, there is no effect if pos == it or pos == ++it is true.
If ++it is not in the range [begin()end()), the behavior is undefined.
5,6) Transfers elements in the range (firstlast).
*this and other can refer to the same object.
If any of the following conditions is satisfied, the behavior is undefined:
  • (firstlast) is not a valid range in other,
  • Any iterator in (firstlast) is not dereferenceable.
  • pos is in (firstlast).

No iterators or references become invalidated. If *this and other refer to different objects, the iterators to the transferred elements now refer into *this, not into other.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

pos - element after which the content will be inserted
other - another container to transfer the content from
it - iterator preceding the iterator to the element to transfer from other to *this
first, last - the pair of iterators defining the range of elements to transfer from other to *this

[edit] Exceptions

1-4) Throws nothing.

[edit] Complexity

1,2) Linear in the size of other.
3,4) Constant.
5,6) Linear in std::distance(first, last).

[edit] Example

#include <cassert>
#include <forward_list>
 
int main()
{
    using F = std::forward_list<int>;
 
    // Demonstrate the meaning of open range (first, last)
    // in overload (5): the first element of l1 is not transferred.
    F l1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    F l2 = {10, 11, 12};
 
    l2.splice_after(l2.cbegin(), l1, l1.cbegin(), l1.cend());
    // Not equivalent to l2.splice_after(l2.cbegin(), l1);
    // which is equivalent to
    // l2.splice_after(l2.cbegin(), l1, l1.cbefore_begin(), l1.end());
 
    assert((l1 == F{1}));
    assert((l2 == F{10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12}));
 
    // Overload (1)
    F x = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    F y = {10, 11, 12};
    x.splice_after(x.cbegin(), y);
    assert((x == F{1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5}));
    assert((y == F{}));
 
    // Overload (3)
    x = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    y = {10, 11, 12};
    x.splice_after(x.cbegin(), y, y.cbegin());
    assert((x == F{1, 11, 2, 3, 4, 5}));
    assert((y == F{10, 12}));
 
    // Overload (5)
    x = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    y = {10, 11, 12};
    x.splice_after(x.cbegin(), y, y.cbegin(), y.cend());
    assert((x == F{1, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5}));
    assert((y == F{10}));
}

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 2045 C++11 O(1) splicing could not be guaranteed if
get_allocator() != other.get_allocator()
the behavior is
undefined in this case
LWG 2222 C++11 the element pointed to by it is not transferred, but pointers, references and
iterators referring to it would refer to an element in *this after splicing
still refer to the
element in other
