24.4.5 Class template multimap [multimap]

24.4.5.1 Overview [multimap.overview]

1
#
A multimap is an associative container that supports equivalent keys (i.e., possibly containing multiple copies of the same key value) and provides for fast retrieval of values of another type T based on the keys.
The multimap class supports bidirectional iterators.
2
#
A multimap meets all of the requirements of a container ([container.reqmts]), of a reversible container ([container.rev.reqmts]), of an allocator-aware container ([container.alloc.reqmts]), and of an associative container ([associative.reqmts]).
A multimap also provides most operations described in [associative.reqmts] for equal keys.
This means that a multimap supports the a_eq operations in [associative.reqmts] but not the a_uniq operations.
For a multimap<Key,T> the key_type is Key and the value_type is pair<const Key,T>.
Descriptions are provided here only for operations on multimap that are not described in one of those tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.

24.4.5.2 Constructors [multimap.cons]

🔗
explicit multimap(const Compare& comp, const Allocator& = Allocator());
1
#
Effects: Constructs an empty multimap using the specified comparison object and allocator.
2
#
Complexity: Constant.
🔗
template<class InputIterator> multimap(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Compare& comp = Compare(), const Allocator& = Allocator());
3
#
Effects: Constructs an empty multimap using the specified comparison object and allocator, and inserts elements from the range [first, last).
4
#
Complexity: Linear in N if the range [first, last) is already sorted with respect to comp and otherwise , where N is last - first.
🔗
template<container-compatible-range<value_type> R> multimap(from_range_t, R&& rg, const Compare& comp = Compare(), const Allocator& = Allocator());
5
#
Effects: Constructs an empty multimap using the specified comparison object and allocator, and inserts elements from the range rg.
6
#
Complexity: Linear in N if rg is already sorted with respect to comp and otherwise , where N is ranges​::​distance(rg).

24.4.5.3 Modifiers [multimap.modifiers]

🔗
template<class P> iterator insert(P&& x); template<class P> iterator insert(const_iterator position, P&& x);
1
#
Constraints: is_constructible_v<value_type, P&&> is true.
2
#
Effects: The first form is equivalent to return emplace(std​::​forward<P>(x)).
The second form is equivalent to return emplace_hint(position, std​::​forward<P>(x)).

24.4.5.4 Erasure [multimap.erasure]

🔗
template<class Key, class T, class Compare, class Allocator, class Predicate> typename multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>::size_type erase_if(multimap<Key, T, Compare, Allocator>& c, Predicate pred);
1
#
Effects: Equivalent to: auto original_size = c.size(); for (auto i = c.begin(), last = c.end(); i != last; ) { if (pred(*i)) { i = c.erase(i); } else { ++i; } } return original_size - c.size();
