vector::capacity (STL/CLR)

 

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at vector::capacity (STL/CLR).

Reports the size of allocated storage for the container.

Syntax

size_type capacity();  

Remarks

The member function returns the storage currently allocated to hold the controlled sequence, a value at least as large as vector::size (STL/CLR)(). You use it to determine how much the container can grow before it must reallocate storage for the controlled sequence.

Example

// cliext_vector_capacity.cpp   
// compile with: /clr   
#include <cliext/vector>   
  
int main()   
    {   
    cliext::vector<wchar_t> c1;   
    c1.push_back(L'a');   
    c1.push_back(L'b');   
    c1.push_back(L'c');   
  
// display initial contents " a b c"   
    for (int i = 0; i < c1.size(); ++i)   
        System::Console::Write(" {0}", c1.at(i));   
    System::Console::WriteLine();   
  
// increase capacity   
    cliext::vector<wchar_t>::size_type cap = c1.capacity();   
    System::Console::WriteLine("capacity() = {0}, ok = {1}",   
        cap, c1.size() <= cap);   
    c1.reserve(cap + 5);   
    System::Console::WriteLine("capacity() = {0}, ok = {1}",   
        c1.capacity(), cap + 5 <= c1.capacity());   
    return (0);   
    }  
  
 a b c  
capacity
() = 4, ok = True  
capacity
() = 9, ok = True  

Description

Note that the actual capacities may differ from the values shown here, so long as all ok tests report true.
