| (since C++11) |
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.
Exceptions
noexcept
specification: noexcept
Complexity
Constant.
Notes
This value is typically equal to std::numeric_limits<size_type>::max()
, and reflects the theoretical limit on the size of the container. At runtime, the size of the container may be limited to a value smaller than max_size()
by the amount of RAM available.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | #include <iostream> #include <unordered_multiset> int main() { std::unordered_multiset< char > s; std::cout << "Maximum size of a 'unordered_multiset' is " << s.max_size() << "\n" ; } |
Possible output:
1 | Maximum size of a 'unordered_multiset' is 18446744073709551615 |
