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 map from the corresponding expression, the behavior is undefined.

3) This overload participates in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:

std::is_convertible_v<K&&,const_iterator> and std::is_convertible_v<K&&,iterator> are both false.

The qualified-id Compare::is_transparent is valid and denotes a type.

If equal_range(u.first)==equal_range(k) is false, the behavior is undefined, where u is the new element to be inserted.

6) This overload participates in overload resolution only if the qualified-id Compare::is_transparent is valid and denotes a type.

If equal_range(u.first)==equal_range(k) is false, the behavior is undefined, where u is the new element to be inserted.

No iterators or references are invalidated.

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

:
Logarithmic in the size of the container.

4-6) Same as for

emplace_hint

:
Logarithmic in the size of the container in general, but amortized constant if the new element is inserted just before hint.

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::map<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.
