std::basic_string::shrink_to_fit
std::basic_string::shrink_to_fit
void shrink_to_fit(); | (since C++11) |
Requests the removal of unused capacity.
It is a non-binding request to reduce capacity() to size(). It depends on the implementation if the request is fulfilled.
If reallocation takes place, all pointers, references, and iterators are invalidated.
Parameters
(none).
Return value
(none).
Complexity
Constant.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::string s;
std::cout << "Default-constructed capacity is " << s.capacity() << '\n';
s.resize(100);
std::cout << "Capacity of a 100-element string is " << s.capacity() << '\n';
s.clear();
std::cout << "Capacity after clear() is " << s.capacity() << '\n';
s.shrink_to_fit();
std::cout << "Capacity after shrink_to_fit() is " << s.capacity() << '\n';
}Output:
Default-constructed capacity is 0 Capacity of a 100-element string is 100 Capacity after clear() is 100 Capacity after shrink_to_fit() is 0
