# std::map::merge

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | map

[edit template]

template<class C2> void merge(std::map<Key, T, C2, Allocator>& source); | (1) | (since C++17)
template<class C2> void merge(std::map<Key, T, C2, Allocator>&& source); | (2) | (since C++17)
template<class C2> void merge(std::multimap<Key, T, C2, Allocator>& source); | (3) | (since C++17)
template<class C2> void merge(std::multimap<Key, T, C2, Allocator>&& source); | (4) | (since C++17)

Attempts to extract ("splice") each element in `source` and insert it into `*this` using the the comparison object of `*this`. If there is an element in `*this` with key equivalent to the key of an element from `source`, then that element is not extracted from `source`. No elements are copied or moved, only the internal pointers of the container nodes are repointed. All pointers and references to the transferred elements remain valid, but now refer into `*this`, not into `source`.

The behavior is undefined if get_allocator() != source.get_allocator().

### [edit] Parameters

source | - | compatible container to transfer the nodes from

### [edit] Return value

(none)

### [edit] Exceptions

Does not throw unless comparison throws.

### [edit] Complexity

N*log(size()+N)), where N is `source.size()`
