std::unordered_set max_size() method
- since C++11
// Const version only
size_type max_size() const noexcept;
Returns the maximum number of elements the container is able to hold due to system or library implementation limitations, i.e. std::distance(begin(), end())
for the largest container.
Parameters
(none)
Return value
Maximum number of elements.
Complexity
Constant - O(1).
Exceptions
(none)
Notes
This value typically reflects the theoretical limit on the size of the container, at most std::numeric_limits<difference_type>::max()
.
At runtime, the size of the container may be limited to a value smaller than max_size()
by the amount of RAM available.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <unordered_set>
int main()
{
std::unordered_set<char> q;
std::cout.imbue(std::locale("en_US.UTF-8"));
std::cout << "Maximum size of a std::unordered_set is " << q.max_size() << '\n';
}
Maximum size of a std::unordered_set is 768,614,336,404,564,650
