Detailed Description

template<typename _Tp, typename _Sequence = vector<_Tp>, typename _Compare = less<typename _Sequence::value_type>>

class std::priority_queue< _Tp, _Sequence, _Compare >"A standard container automatically sorting its contents.

Template Parameters

_Tp Type of element.
_Sequence Type of underlying sequence, defaults to vector<_Tp>.
_Compare Comparison function object type, defaults to less<_Sequence::value_type>.

This is not a true container, but an adaptor. It holds another container, and provides a wrapper interface to that container. The wrapper is what enforces priority-based sorting and queue behavior. Very few of the standard container/sequence interface requirements are met (e.g., iterators).

The second template parameter defines the type of the underlying sequence/container. It defaults to std::vector, but it can be any type that supports front(), push_back, pop_back, and random-access iterators, such as std::deque or an appropriate user-defined type.

The third template parameter supplies the means of making priority comparisons. It defaults to less<value_type> but can be anything defining a strict weak ordering.

Members not found in normal containers are container_type, which is a typedef for the second Sequence parameter, and push, pop, and top, which are standard queue operations.

Note

No equality/comparison operators are provided for priority_queue.

Sorting of the elements takes place as they are added to, and removed from, the priority_queue using the priority_queue's member functions. If you access the elements by other means, and change their data such that the sorting order would be different, the priority_queue will not re-sort the elements for you. (How could it know to do so?)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename _Tp , typename _Sequence  = vector<_Tp>, typename _Compare  = less<typename _Sequence::value_type>> template<typename _Seq  = _Sequence, typename _Requires  = typename enable_if<__and_<is_default_constructible<_Compare>, is_default_constructible<_Seq>>::value>::type> std::priority_queue< _Tp, _Sequence, _Compare >::priority_queue () [inline]

Default constructor creates no elements.

template<typename _Tp , typename _Sequence  = vector<_Tp>, typename _Compare  = less<typename _Sequence::value_type>> template<typename _InputIterator , typename  = std::_RequireInputIter<_InputIterator>> std::priority_queue< _Tp, _Sequence, _Compare >::priority_queue (_InputIterator __first, _InputIterator __last, const _Compare & __x = _Compare()) [inline]

Builds a queue from a range.

Parameters

__first An input iterator.
__last An input iterator.
__x A comparison functor describing a strict weak ordering.
__s An initial sequence with which to start.

Begins by copying __s, inserting a copy of the elements from [first,last) into the copy of __s, then ordering the copy according to __x.

For more information on function objects, see the documentation on functor base classes.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename _Tp , typename _Sequence  = vector<_Tp>, typename _Compare  = less<typename _Sequence::value_type>> bool std::priority_queue< _Tp, _Sequence, _Compare >::empty () const [inline], [nodiscard]

Returns true if the queue is empty.

Referenced by __gnu_parallel::multiseq_partition(), and __gnu_parallel::multiseq_selection().

template<typename _Tp , typename _Sequence  = vector<_Tp>, typename _Compare  = less<typename _Sequence::value_type>> void std::priority_queue< _Tp, _Sequence, _Compare >::pop () [inline]

Removes first element. This is a typical queue operation. It shrinks the queue by one. The time complexity of the operation depends on the underlying sequence.

Note that no data is returned, and if the first element's data is needed, it should be retrieved before pop() is called.

Referenced by __gnu_parallel::multiseq_partition(), and __gnu_parallel::multiseq_selection().

template<typename _Tp , typename _Sequence  = vector<_Tp>, typename _Compare  = less<typename _Sequence::value_type>> void std::priority_queue< _Tp, _Sequence, _Compare >::push (const value_type & __x) [inline]

Add data to the queue.

Parameters

__x Data to be added.

This is a typical queue operation. The time complexity of the operation depends on the underlying sequence.

template<typename _Tp , typename _Sequence  = vector<_Tp>, typename _Compare  = less<typename _Sequence::value_type>> size_type std::priority_queue< _Tp, _Sequence, _Compare >::size () const [inline], [nodiscard]

Returns the number of elements in the queue.

template<typename _Tp , typename _Sequence  = vector<_Tp>, typename _Compare  = less<typename _Sequence::value_type>> const_reference std::priority_queue< _Tp, _Sequence, _Compare >::top () const [inline], [nodiscard]

Returns a read-only (constant) reference to the data at the first element of the queue.
