multimap::multimap

Constructs a multimap that is empty or that is a copy of all or part of some other multimap.

multimap( );
explicit multimap(
   const Traits& _Comp
);
multimap(
   const Traits& _Comp,
   const Allocator& _Al
);
map(
   const multimap& _Right
);
template<class InputIterator>
   multimap(
      InputIterator _First,
      InputIterator _Last
   );
template<class InputIterator>
   multimap(
      InputIterator _First,
      InputIterator _Last,
      const Traits& _Comp
   );
template<class InputIterator>
   multimap(
      InputIterator _First,
      InputIterator _Last,
      const Traits& _Comp,
      const Allocator& _Al
   );
multimap(
   multimap&& _Right
);

Parameters

Remarks

All constructors store a type of allocator object that manages memory storage for the multimap and that can later be returned by calling get_allocator. The allocator parameter is often omitted in the class declarations and preprocessing macros used to substitute alternative allocators.

All constructors initialize their multimap.

All constructors store a function object of type Traits that is used to establish an order among the keys of the multimap and that can later be returned by calling key_comp.

The first three constructors specify an empty initial multimap, the second specifying the type of comparison function (_Comp) to be used in establishing the order of the elements and the third explicitly specifying the allocator type (_Al) to be used. The key word explicit suppresses certain kinds of automatic type conversion.

The fourth constructor specifies a copy of the multimap _Right.

The next three constructors copy the range [_First, _Last) of a map with increasing explicitness in specifying the type of comparison function of class Traits and allocator.

The last constructor specifies a copy of the multimap by moving _Right.

#include <map>
#include <iostream>

   cout << "m2 =";
   for ( m2_Iter = m2.begin( ); m2_Iter != m2.end( ); m2_Iter++ )
      cout << " " << m2_Iter -> second;
   cout << endl;

   cout << "m3 =";
   for ( m3_Iter = m3.begin( ); m3_Iter != m3.end( ); m3_Iter++ )
      cout << " " << m3_Iter -> second;
   cout << endl;

   cout << "m4 =";
   for ( m4_Iter = m4.begin( ); m4_Iter != m4.end( ); m4_Iter++ )
      cout << " " << m4_Iter -> second;
   cout << endl;

   cout << "m5 =";
   for ( m5_Iter = m5.begin( ); m5_Iter != m5.end( ); m5_Iter++ )
      cout << " " << m5_Iter -> second;
   cout << endl;

   cout << "m6 =";
   for ( m6_Iter = m6.begin( ); m6_Iter != m6.end( ); m6_Iter++ )
      cout << " " << m6_Iter -> second;
   cout << endl;

   // Create a map m7 by moving m5
   cout << "m7 =";
   map<int, int> m7(move(m5));
   for ( m7_Iter = m7.begin( ); m7_Iter != m7.end( ); m7_Iter++ )

   cout << endl;

Output

m1 = 10 20 30 40
m2 = 20 10
m3 = 30
m4 = 10 20 30 40
m5 = 10 20
m6 = 10 
m7 = 10 20
