# std::vector::emplace

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | vector

[edit template]

template< class... Args > iterator emplace( const_iterator pos, Args&&... args ); |  | (since C++11)

Inserts a new element into the container directly before `pos`. The element is constructed in-place, i.e. no copy or move operations are performed. The constructor of the element is called with the arguments std::forward<Args>(args).... The element type must be `EmplaceConstructible`, `MoveInsertable` and `MoveAssignable`.

If the new size() is greater than capacity(), all iterators and references are invalidated. Otherwise, only the iterators and references before the insertion point remain valid. The past-the-end iterator is also invalidated.

### [edit] Parameters

pos | - | iterator before which the new element will be constructed
args | - | arguments to forward to the constructor of the element

### [edit] Return value

Iterator pointing to the emplaced element.

### [edit] Complexity

Linear in the distance between `pos` and end of the container.

### [edit] Exceptions

If an exception is thrown (e.g. by the constructor), the container is left unmodified, as if this function was never called (strong exception guarantee).

### Notes

The specialization std::vector<bool> did not have `emplace()` member until C++14.
