  • let's count from the beginning:
    1st element: 3 4
    2nd element: 1 2
    3rd element: 5 6
    element at .end(): 6226002 4522072

  • let's count from the end:
    element at .end(): 6226002 4522072
    3rd element: 5 6
    2nd element: 1 2
    1st element: 3 4
    removing last element...

C++11 std::forward_list


The same thing as std::list, but singly-linked one, i.e., having only the “next” field at each node.


It has a smaller memory footprint, but also don’t offer the ability to traverse list backwards.


std::vector


We would callstd::vectora safe wrapper of thePODT^31 C array. Internally it is somewhat similar to
std::string(3.18.4 on page 559): it has a pointer to the allocated buffer, a pointer to the end of the
array, and a pointer to the end of the allocated buffer.


Thearray’selementslieinmemoryadjacentlytoeachother, justlikeinanormalarray(1.20onpage267).
In C++11 there is a new method called.data(), that returns a pointer to the buffer, like.c_str()in
std::string.


The buffer allocated in theheapcan be larger than the array itself.


Both MSVC’s and GCC’s implementations are similar, just the names of the structure’s fields are slightly
different^32 , so here is one source code that works for both compilers. Here is again the C-like code for
dumping the structure ofstd::vector:


#include <stdio.h>
#include
#include
#include


struct vector_of_ints
{
// MSVC names:
int Myfirst;
int
Mylast;
int *Myend;


// GCC structure is the same, but names are: _M_start, _M_finish, _M_end_of_storage
};


void dump(struct vector_of_ints *in)
{
