std::deque<T,Allocator>::shrink_to_fit
Min standard notice:
Requests the removal of unused capacity.
# Declarations
void shrink_to_fit();
# Notes
In libstdc++, shrink_to_fit() is not available in C++98 mode.
# Example
#include <cstddef>
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
#include <new>
// Minimal C++11 allocator with debug output.
template<class Tp>
struct NAlloc
{
typedef Tp value_type;
NAlloc() = default;
template<class T> NAlloc(const NAlloc<T>&) {}
Tp* allocate(std::size_t n)
{
n *= sizeof(Tp);
std::cout << "allocating " << n << " bytes\n";
return static_cast<Tp*>(::operator new(n));
}
void deallocate(Tp* p, std::size_t n)
{
std::cout << "deallocating " << n*sizeof*p << " bytes\n";
::operator delete(p);
}
};
template<class T, class U>
bool operator==(const NAlloc<T>&, const NAlloc<U>&) { return true; }
template<class T, class U>
bool operator!=(const NAlloc<T>&, const NAlloc<U>&) { return false; }
int main()
{
// std::queue has no capacity() function (like std::vector).
// Because of this, we use a custom allocator to show the
// working of shrink_to_fit.
std::cout << "Default-construct deque:\n";
std::deque<int, NAlloc<int>> deq;
std::cout << "\nAdd 300 elements:\n";
for (int i = 1000; i < 1300; ++i)
deq.push_back(i);
std::cout << "\nPop 100 elements:\n";
for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
deq.pop_front();
std::cout << "\nRun shrink_to_fit:\n";
deq.shrink_to_fit();
std::cout << "\nDestroy deque as it goes out of scope:\n";
