std::hive<T,Allocator>::erase

From cppreference.com
 
 
 
 
iterator erase( const_iterator pos );
(1) (since C++26)
iterator erase( const_iterator first, const_iterator last );
(2) (since C++26)

Erases the specified elements from the container.

1) Removes the element at pos.
2) Removes the elements in the range [firstlast).

Iterators and references to the erased element are invalidated. If the element is the last element in the container, the end() iterator is also invalidated. Other references and iterators are not affected.

The iterator pos must be valid and dereferenceable. Thus the end() iterator (which is valid, but is not dereferenceable) cannot be used as a value for pos.

The iterator first does not need to be dereferenceable if first == last: erasing an empty range is a no-op.

Parameters

pos - iterator to the element to remove
first, last - the pair of iterators defining the range of elements to remove

Return value

Iterator following the last removed element.

1) If pos refers to the last element, then the end() iterator is returned.
2) If last == end() prior to removal, then the updated end() iterator is returned.
If [firstlast) is an empty range, then last is returned.

Complexity

1) Constant.
2) Linear in the number of elements erased.

Additionally, if any active blocks become empty of elements as a result of the function call, — at worst linear in the number of element blocks.

Notes

When container elements need to be erased based on a predicate, rather than iterating the container and calling unary erase, the iterator range overload is generally used with std::remove()/std::remove_if() to minimize the number of moves of the remaining (non-removed) elements, — this is the erase-remove idiom. std::erase_if() replaces the erase-remove idiom.

Example

#include <hive>
#include <print>

int main()
{
    std::hive v{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
    std::println("{}", v);

    v.erase(v.begin());
    std::println("{}", v);

    v.erase(std::next(v.begin(), 2), std::next(v.begin(), 5));
    std::println("{}", v);

    // Erase all even numbers
    for (auto it{v.begin()}; it != v.end();)
        if (*it % 2 == 0)
            it = v.erase(it);
        else
            ++it;
    std::println("{}", v);
}

Output:

[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[1, 7, 9]
