1,2) Inserts value.
3,4) Inserts value, using hint as a non-binding suggestion to where the search should start.
5) Inserts elements from range [first, last). If multiple elements in the range have keys that compare equivalent, it is unspecified which element is inserted (pending
).
6) Inserts elements from initializer list ilist. If multiple elements in the range have keys that compare equivalent, it is unspecified which element is inserted (pending
).
7) If nh is an empty
, does nothing. Otherwise, inserts the element owned by nh into the container , if the container doesn't already contain an element with a key equivalent to nh.key(). The behavior is undefined if nh is not empty and get_allocator()!=nh.get_allocator().
8) If nh is an empty
, does nothing and returns the end iterator. Otherwise, inserts the element owned by nh into the container, if the container doesn't already contain an element with a key equivalent to nh.key(), and returns the iterator pointing to the element with key equivalent to nh.key()(regardless of whether the insert succeeded or failed). If the insertion succeeds, nh is moved from, otherwise it retains ownership of the element. hint is used as a non-binding suggestion to where the search should start. The behavior is undefined if nh is not empty and get_allocator()!=nh.get_allocator().
9) If *this already contains an element which transparently compares equivalent to obj, does nothing. Otherwise, constructs an object u of
with std::forward<K>(obj) and then inserts u into *this. If equal_range(u)!=hash_function()(obj)||contains(u) is true, the behavior is undefined. The value_type must be
into unordered_set from std::forward<K>(obj). This overload participates in overload resolution only if Hash::is_transparent and KeyEqual::is_transparent are valid and each denotes a type. This assumes that such Hash is callable with both K and Key type, and that the KeyEqual is transparent, which, together, allows calling this function without constructing an instance of Key.

is used as a non-binding suggestion to where the search should start. If equal_range(u)!=hash_function()(obj)||contains(u) is true, the behavior is undefined. The value_type must be
into unordered_set from std::forward<K>(obj). This overload participates in overload resolution only if:
std::is_convertible_v<K&&,const_iterator> and std::is_convertible_v<K&&,iterator> are both false, and
Hash::is_transparent and KeyEqual::is_transparent are valid and each denotes a type. This assumes that such Hash is callable with both K and Key type, and that the KeyEqual is transparent,
which, together, allows calling this function without constructing an instance of Key.
If after the operation the new number of elements is greater than old
*
a rehashing takes place.
If rehashing occurs (due to the insertion), all iterators are invalidated. Otherwise (no rehashing), iterators are not invalidated. If the insertion is successful, pointers and references to the element obtained while it is held in the node handle are invalidated, and pointers and references obtained to that element before it was extracted become valid.(since C++17)
Parameters
hint - iterator, used as a suggestion as to where to insert the content value - element value to insert first, last - the pair of iterators defining the source
of elements to insert ilist - initializer list to insert the values from nh - a compatible
obj - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key Type requirements -InputIt must meet the requirements of
. Return value
1,2) 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.
3,4) An iterator to the inserted element, or to the element that prevented the insertion.
5,6) (none)
7) An object of
with the members initialized as follows:
If nh is empty, inserted is false, position is end(), and node is empty.
Otherwise if the insertion took place, inserted is true, position points to the inserted element, and node is empty.
If the insertion failed, inserted is false, node has the previous value of nh, and position points to an element with a key equivalent to nh.key().
8) End iterator if nh was empty, iterator pointing to the inserted element if insertion took place, and iterator pointing to an element with a key equivalent to nh.key() if it failed.
9) 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.
10) An iterator to the inserted element, or to the element that prevented the insertion.
Exceptions
1-4) If an exception is thrown by any operation, the insertion has no effect.
Complexity
1-4) Average case: O(1), worst case O(size()).
5,6) Average case: O(N), where N is the number of elements to insert. Worst case: O(N * size() + N).
7-10) Average case: O(1), worst case O(size()).
Notes
The hinted insert (3,4) does not return a boolean in order to be signature-compatible with positional insert on sequential containers, such as
. This makes it possible to create generic inserters such as
. One way to check success of a hinted insert is to compare
before and after.
