void reserve( size_type new_cap ); |
Increase the capacity of the container to a value that's greater or equal to new_cap. If new_cap is greater than the current capacity(), new storage is allocated, otherwise the method does nothing.
If new_cap is greater than capacity(), all iterators and references, including the past-the-end iterator, are invalidated. Otherwise, no iterators or references are invalidated.

(none).
std::length_error if new_cap > max_size(). Allocator::allocate() (typically std::bad_alloc) At most linear in the size() of the container.
reserve() cannot be used to reduce the capacity of the container, to that end shrink_to_fit() is provided.
